A criminally underrated Halo game has dropped to less than £1/$1 for a limited time only, so be sure to claim it now before it’s too late.
As soon as Halo: Combat Evolved was released as a launch title for the debuting Xbox console in November 2001, it instantly became an iconic franchise for Microsoft’s machine, with its story focusing on the charismatic Spartan, John-117, aka the Master Chief.
Halo: Combat Evolved revolutionised how a first-person shooter should be played on console using a control pad. Sure, it wasn’t quite as super slick as a keyboard and mouse, but it was still a huge leap forward for console gamers.
Pick up Halo: Spartan Assault for an Absolute Bargain
Right now, you can pick up Halo: Spartan Assault on the PC platform Steam for just £0.80/$0.80, which is a huge 73% discount. To be fair, even without a discount, it’s still a bargain at just under £3.
How Long Will Halo: Spartan Assault Be Discounted?
It will only be discounted until 26 March 2026, at which point, Halo: Spartan Assault will return to its regular RRP.
How Long Does It Take to Beat Halo: Spartan Assault?
According to the aggregate website, How Long to Beat, on average, it can take anywhere from four to over 16 hours to complete Halo: Spartan Assault, depending on your playstyle.
Wait, There’s Another Halo Bargain for Less Than £1?
Yes, you can also claim the other top-down twin-stick shooter that was released in 2014, Halo: Spartan Strike, for the same price as Halo: Spartan Assault. What’s more, you can claim both games in a bundle for just £1.24. This offer also ends on 26 March 2026.
Halo Is an Icon of the Video Game Industry
Over the years, the Halo series would spawn multiple sequels and prequels for better or worse, with some being much better than others. For every Halo 3, you have the Halo 5: Guardians campaign. Trust me, the less said about the latter, the better.
The Xbox franchise has also had its fair share of quality spin-off titles, such as the awesome Halo: Reach, Halo 3: ODST and the real-time strategy series, Halo Wars. The twin-stick shooters might not be in the upper echelon of the franchise, but they shouldn’t be overlooked, especially at these prices.
Both Halo: Spartan Assault and Halo: Spartan Strike are also available on Xbox, as well as being in Xbox Game Pass at no extra cost.
