Halo wars brings strategy to the series but isn`t as good as you would expect. You start by creating your base and then you can either wait and upgrade your base wait and save up money start a army to defend or attack the enemy. You can play as the covenant or UNSC, which gives you different power ups like the Arbiter can make suicide grunts and the scientist can freeze every thing for a short time. Also to that you can call a hero if your leading the covenant like the Brute Chieftain or the Arbiter which they can use special moves that causes devastating damage on the enemy but if you can get enough money and have enough space you can develop a scarab. But the UNSC can call three spartan to come and fight it which spartan dosen`t take any space away from the limited solider bar. The skulls are also kind of to get now because you have complete a certain task and then find it. And they also added a new collectible, a black box which has no task just have to find in which finding it you unlock more pieces of a time line. Overall this is a good strategy game.
