Toy Soldiers - PC - Game Review
Toy Soldiers is a World War I - with toy soldiers - Tower Defense (TD) game. Interestingly, it carefully avoids saying so on its description anywhere, instead choosing to use strategy as the genre.
But it is clearly TD, albeit with a single unusual change - you can use the towers (as well as some vehicles) yourself.
Graphics are good, and sounds are OK. The music is WW 1 themed too, which was mostly annoying after a first chuckle. The camera angle seems always a bit off. There is a full top view, but it is so far away from the field that is hard to see anything other than the towers.
There are the usual tower types - machine gun, mortal, cannon, anti-air. There is also a sniper tower, but you can't place that yourself - it comes pre-placed on levels.
Overall, I found the gameplay to be too slow on the first levels. You just place the towers and wait, or get on one of the others for a mildly entertaining time shooting at your enemies. I am told that in the highest difficulty, towers are not automatic and you must use them by yourself all the time.
The only part that is somewhat fun is flying the biplanes. Still, it is only fun compared to the rest...
Not recommended. 2.5 out of 5 stars.
PS: Here the game started with the menus in Japonese . But this is easy to solve.

Also, does it have split-screen play for PC?
I didn't see anything about split-screen on the menus...
