Nudged just a bit is Toy Soldiers HD, from Signal Studios and Accelerate Games. The remaster of the classic strategy title is hitting next month.
Toy box war zone
The game’s gameplay mechanics remain unique. You control one of two armies made up of more than 50 units of miniature WWI toys, set in a diorama of various locations such as a bedroom, library, etc. Like many tower defense games, you strategically build your defenses while plotting your counter offensives.
But unlike other tower defense games, Toy Soldiers HD gives you the ability to experience the battle from both top-down strategic perspective and a first-person POV take the action into your own hands’ perspective. Watch the action unfold or jump feet first into the boots of an infantryman and race across the battlefield dodging artillery while using a flamethrower to burn your enemies to a crisp. Mount your horse and charge the enemy head on with your cavalry. Pilot bombers and drop shells that pockmark the field below or strafe your opponent using biplanes. Go hands-on howitzers and mow down the enemy.

Toy Soldiers HD will open up operations on the PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC (via Steam) on September 9th, 2021.
