Throughout the game you’ll find yourself in landscapes carved by war-torn trenches or gritty cobblestone walls, dioramas featuring rainbows, or the glowing blue crystals of an alien planet.
War Chest won’t shock and awe in the aesthetics department, but the varied cast is paired with some amusing themes, and not only for the turrets. Kaiser Wilhelm, who makes a triumphant return from the first Toy Soldiers, is joined by the Rainbow Brite-esque StarBright the pen-and-paper RPG-inspired Dark Lord and the futuristic Phantom–my personal favorite of the bunch. You play through the decent-sized campaign commanding one of several swappable heroes, each supported by an army brandishing a particular motif. You can commandeer a turret at any time, which is a big help when you want to fire at an enemy beyond your own turret’s range.

Killing enemies, who adorably snap back to their action figure poses upon death, is rewarded with currency, which can be used to buy more turrets or to upgrade the ones you currently own by beefing up their attack power or range, or by adding defensive barriers. The march of these persistent, though admittedly charming enemies can only be halted by the use of strategically placed turrets that shred anything that gets close into tiny plastic chunks.
On this battlefield of plastic trees, scattered dice and toppled coffee mugs, you defend against waves of oncoming plastic toys in the form of action figures, armored vehicles, and aircraft. Once again, your task is to keep your toy box out of the hands of enemy forces who march their way across a colourful model diorama set on the floors of bedrooms and parlours. Thankfully though, this is still the Toy Soldiers that so many have come to enjoy. War Chest could have been just that, but its plastic-like sheen is scuffed by issues like microtransactions, content locked behind Uplay, and irritating technical problems. After all, the series’ very premise has revolved around the childhood bliss of combating plastic heroes and villains in small, detailed landscapes.
Joe–is exactly where Toy Soldiers has seemingly been leading from the start. At first blush, the combination of war toys with classic action figures from 1980s cartoons in Toy Soldiers: War Chest–such as He-Man and G.I.
