Toy Soldiers: War Chest Announced

Admit it. You've all done it. You've lined up your toys, and maybe
even grabbed a few precious items from your siblings' stashes. And
then you battled. Across train tables and inside playhouses, you
pitted action figure against army man, stuffed animal against plush
doll - and it was glorious. Such is the joy of the Toy Soldier
series, a unique tower defense/action hybrid from developer Signal
Studios. And now it's returning for a third time with Toy Soldiers:
War Chest, out in early 2015 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 (the first
time on a Sony console) and PC. Toy Soldiers: War Chest But what exactly is Toy
Soldiers? Start off with classic tower defense: you set up turrets
in designated places in a whimsical 3D diorama, then your foe sends
wave after wave into the world to try to take over your toy box.
Like any classic tower defense title, you can upgrade your turrets
or switch them out for weapons that are better suited for the wave
you're facing. The difference here? At any time you can take direct
control of your turrets, which is not only fun but also lets you
earn points that are used to call down your unique hero. Once on
the field, your hero can mix it up with the marauding armies,
mowing down the opposing toys and creating havoc while your turrets
continue to fire away. And that's just a small portion of what you
can do in the game; check out the launch trailer for more.
Toy Soldiers:
War Chest will launch with four armies. Along with the returning
Kaiser and his German Empire, Ubisoft also revealed the all-new
Star Power army, which has the colorful, courageous and... well,
crazy heroine Starbright at the helm. But don't let
yourself be charmed by the rainbows, hearts and glitter; Star
Power's pixies, unicorns and teddy bears will decimate anyone
foolish enough to underestimate their power and prowess. "We are
proud to help create the next iteration in the franchise and bring
Toy Soldiers to more platforms than ever before," said Chris Early,
vice president of digital publishing, Ubisoft. "Toy Soldiers is a
unique blend of tower defense and strategy, and Toy Soldiers: War
Chest makes the toy box eternal, letting gamers face off against
rival toys and friends to determine which army will reign
victorious. There's something very satisfying about combining
strategy with seriously fun gameplay, like taking out the Kaiser's
troops with a laser-shooting teddy bear." Toy Soldiers War Chest Toy Soldiers: War Chest
is also the most expansive game in the series to date. There are
more missions, more playable armies and more heroes than ever
before. And there are more turrets (along with more ways to upgrade
them), more modes and more ways to play with others - both
competitively and cooperatively. "Partnering with Ubisoft presented
an opportunity to create the Toy Soldiers game we had always
envisioned," said D.R. Albright III, founder of Signal Studios.
"Gamers of all ages can play as and face off against toys familiar
to them from their childhoods to recreate the battles from their
imaginations. Fans will have a great time learning how each army
plays and the individual strengths of their troops and weapons."

Chest, including developer interviews and hands-on impressions.
