Toy Soldiers: War Chest is, in a lot of ways, the culmination of Signal Studios' tower defense/shooter series' core idea — what if your childhood make-believe wars took place on a real battlefield? This time around, you can brawl with real toy lines (like GI Joe and Masters of the Universe) and more realistic settings (like a backyard littered with derelict playsets and candy wrappers). Unfortunately, if you want to play with the licensed stuff — and not the knock-off toys like the Star Brite line — you're going to have to pay a premium.
You can watch Justin and I play with some classic toys — like everyone's childhood favorite, Ezio from Assassin's Creed 2 — in the Overview of Toy Soldiers: War Chest above.
