Toy Tactics Review

Toy Tactics is an awesome RTS with the unique ability to draw lines for your formation. It has no missable achievements but it will be challenging to unlock them all.

Approximate amount of time to 100%: My guess is around 30 hours or more, it highly depends on your skill level and if you go for the side objectives in your first run of each campaign level.

In Toy Tactics you control an army and have an objective to accomplish. There are many different modes like the campaign mode for different factions, but also skirmish mode, puzzle mode, and mercenaries mode. While playing the campaign you’ll unlock different fractions and their campaign.

What I love about Toy Tactics is that it will help you learn the basics of an RTS game. It starts off quite easy but the difficulty will ramp up quite quickly. What makes Toy Tactics unique is the mechanic to draw lines for each type of unique to decide the formation of your army. However, this also comes with the downside that it isn’t quite as easy to make groups of different types of units and send those to a specific point. You can do this by having overlap on their lines, but this doesn’t seem to always work and I’m unsure why it sometimes works and other times it doesn’t.

I played the campaign the most and had an awesome time. In each campaign level, you have 1 main objective, 2 side objectives, and a chest to find. Keep in mind that when you finish the main objective the level instantly ends, so if you still need to do something for a side objective, do that first. On the level selection map, you can easily see how many of those objectives you have completed on each level. I just loved the extra objectives. They added an extra layer on top of just having to complete the main objective. sometimes the side objectives is using a spell on X amount of units, or don’t use a spell and sometimes it is to do something specific in a level.
With the points from those objectives, you can buy more types of spells for the faction you’re playing with.

None of the achievements for toy Tactics are missable. They are mostly for completing each campaign and all the other modes. There are also achievements for completing all the side objectives and finding the chests. My guess will be that completion takes around or over 30 hours, but this depends on how good you’re in this type of game.
