Army Men: Toys in Space, developed by The 3DO Company and published by 2K, represents one of the more experimental chapters in the long-running Army Men franchise. Released at the tail end of the 1990s and later made available digitally, the game departs from the series’ traditional backyard warzones and pushes its plastic soldiers into a full-blown science fiction conflict. While it retains the franchise’s toy-themed identity and isometric action-strategy gameplay, it layers on alien invasions, spacefaring allies, and a more elaborate narrative structure, resulting in an experience that is both ambitious and uneven.
The story shifts focus away from the familiar Green versus Tan rivalry and introduces extraterrestrial forces into the mix. A crashed alien spacecraft sparks an unlikely alliance between the Tan army and mysterious invaders, escalating the conflict beyond typical toy-soldier skirmishes. Players once again take control of Sarge, the series’ iconic Green Army protagonist, who must now confront not only his longtime plastic adversaries but also advanced alien enemies wielding unfamiliar technology. Along the way, Sarge receives support from the Galactic Army and its commander, Tina Tomorrow, blending pulp sci-fi tropes with the series’ tongue-in-cheek military tone.
Gameplay unfolds from an isometric perspective that combines direct character control with light tactical oversight. Players guide Sarge across varied environments, issuing commands to squadmates while engaging enemies in real-time combat. The control scheme allows for weapon switching, item usage, and limited strategic positioning, though the focus remains firmly on action rather than deep strategy. Compared to earlier entries, Toys in Space expands its arsenal with futuristic weapons, power-ups, and special abilities such as temporary shields and speed boosts. These additions introduce variety into combat encounters, even if the core mechanics remain relatively straightforward.
Mission design attempts to broaden the formula beyond simple elimination objectives. Players undertake escort missions, base defenses, rescue operations, and offensive assaults across diverse settings that range from suburban household environments to alien landscapes and space stations. This environmental variety reinforces the game’s whimsical concept of toy soldiers fighting across everyday spaces and beyond. However, while the objectives diversify the pacing, execution can be inconsistent. Allied AI behavior is frequently unreliable, requiring constant supervision to prevent squadmates from wandering into danger or becoming stuck on terrain.
Visually, the game reflects late-1990s PC design sensibilities. Character models are simple, textures are flat, and environmental detail is modest by modern standards. Yet there is a nostalgic charm in its plastic-soldier aesthetic, with exaggerated proportions and bright coloration maintaining the series’ playful tone. Alien enemies introduce new visual diversity, featuring distinct silhouettes and animated effects that contrast with the more grounded Green and Tan troops. While technical fidelity is dated, the art direction succeeds in preserving the toy-themed identity that defines the franchise.
Sound design complements the campy narrative. Weapon effects and explosions carry a distinct, slightly exaggerated tone befitting plastic warfare, while voice acting leans into melodramatic sci-fi stylings. Dialogue exchanges between characters often embrace light humor, preventing the alien invasion premise from feeling overly serious. The soundtrack, though not especially memorable, supports the action without distracting from gameplay.
Reception over time has been mixed, largely due to the tension between ambition and polish. Many players appreciate the imaginative shift into science fiction and the expanded variety of enemies and missions. Others highlight frustrations with pathfinding, inconsistent AI performance, and repetitive combat scenarios. The balance between direct action and tactical oversight can feel clunky, particularly during missions that demand precise coordination among multiple units.
Despite these shortcomings, Army Men: Toys in Space holds a unique position within the series. Its willingness to experiment with setting and narrative scale distinguishes it from more formulaic installments. By integrating alien factions and galactic allies, it broadens the scope of what a toy soldier conflict can entail, even if the underlying mechanics remain rooted in the franchise’s established structure.
Ultimately, Army Men: Toys in Space is best approached as a product of its era—an ambitious late-90s action-strategy hybrid that values creativity over refinement. For longtime fans of the Army Men franchise or players with nostalgia for classic PC titles, it offers an entertaining and occasionally chaotic journey through plastic warfare in outer space. While its dated mechanics and uneven AI may limit its appeal to modern audiences, its bold thematic shift and enduring toy-soldier charm ensure that it remains a memorable, if imperfect, entry in the series.
Rating: 6/10
Waiting new army men series:
1. Army men air tactic
2. Army men world war
Just like all the other Army Men games on Steam, this one doesn't actually work - though it worked for longer. Keyboard movement doesn't work, mouse quits working after about 8 minutes of play, and graphics are screwy in a big way (even allowing for 20-year old programming). Had to refund every single one of these games and that's a damn shame.
I like Army men toys in space still one of my favourite games
Одно из многочисленных ответвлений серии. Вышла только на Windows, сегодня мало кто помнит ее.
Yes.
Erf, I mean it's alright. Controls are very tanky.

Stupid game that I enjoyed as a kid and wanted to play for nostalgia reasons. Unfortunately, the controls are broken with this version of the game (specifically the mouse freezing), as others have also reported. :(
Mouse controls are broken, they lock up and freeze and it completely breaks how you would play the game, its almost impossible, like playing with a blindfold and a banana as a controller
童年无法通关的游戏在今天通关了，小时候看不懂英文不会用快捷键加上有点难度只玩到过第二关，总体来说在那个时代还是很有趣味性的。
Great little Army Men game! All or at least most of the content seems to be present. Bigger battles and better variety of units compared to the second game. This one is the most challenging in the series. A crunchy classic well worth your time. Give it a try!
Just Mindless Fun
Absolutely wacky, and has no means being as fun and nostalgic as it should be. A great blend of top down shooter and strategy that has yet to be replicated. Quite a challenging game, and maybe its the nostalgia for me, but great fun. The terrain destruction is a real standout and a great level of detail for the time. Give it a go battling tans and ants on a picnic table to see what I mean.
The greatest classic that i played when i was little, now able to relive the times playing this. highly recommended.

A very fun and good game.

2/10
Pure nostalgia, super fun honestly and fantastic!
No support. Filled with crashes. Avoid like the plague.
My generation will never give this a try, but I really found this game nice. It could be really fun if it had multiplayer. It's cheap and, system requirements are low, and I recommend it as an ideal game for oldschool players like me.
Great game. sadly that 3do dont have army men air tactics
People Seem to dislike it but once i got used to controls and realized i can move by holding down right mouse which fixes a lot of the control issue the game became really enjoyable. PS. play on easy
Swag Money
I really wanted to enjoy it but I can't.
The movement is overall fine, it is the mouse that is the problem.
For whatever reason the mouse will just lock up and not let you look around and it happened so often I couldnt even get 20 mins into the game without just being so annoyed with it and quitting.
Every time it would lock up the only way I can reset or continue looking around the map was shooting and then I'd get a second of looking before it locked up again.
Tal cual lo recordaba vagamente en mi infancia.
Pues, tiene ese estilo clasico de los primeros, pero, con la estetica Sci Fi, siempre me dio escalofrios. Sumado a las hormigas y sus chillidos constantes, siempre daban pesadillos.
Hoy que soy grande, pude revivir mi trauma, y me percate. Que no envejecio bien.
Al menos los controles mejoraron un poco, pero sigue siendo muy incomodo y tosco.
SUMADO, a que enemigos te atacan fuera de tu alcanze de vista. Pero, se agradece que puedes rodar, esquivar y atacar a la misma vez. Le da lindo dinamismo.
El Multijugador es rarisimo:
Tiene el clasico Deathmatch, Capture the flag, etc.
Pero, viene el plus, de que, debes armar escuadras, o edificios, con plastico otorgado en un principio. PERO QUE NO PUEDES GANAR.
Por ende, si tu enemigo tiene un soberano ejercito de 100 soldados y con 3k de plastico, y este, determina que debes tener 500. Pues, ahi esta claro quien tiene ventaja.
Pero, dejando de lado eso.
Realmente la pase bien.
8/10
Tried to run the game, crashed my pc and was unable to play the game. Besides that, great nostalgia!
Just bought it for pure nostalgia. 20 some years ago I was a little kid playing this game all day everday having tons of fun, still 20 years later I love it. The entire game is seriously underrated due to the creativity of everything in the game itself. The game is somewhat on the difficult side after starting back up 20 years later, though I am just happy to relive a few old memories.
Bonecos de ação e ALIENS!!!
Sweet yesterday once more
this game is the WORST in the army men series
Best Army Men and one i'm familiar with the most since i grew up with this version. Same gameplay as Army Men II but the controls are much better where you can select an entire group and run with Mouse 2 which locks the camera on your character making combat much more better but you can still play the point and click style if it's your preference. It's basically Army Toys mixed with Aliens so you'll have all the usual Army Men characters with unique Aliens such as ones that have a freeze ray, flame mortar, chaingun and also alien themed vehicles which is a nice change from the usual military army style. It's also satisfying to burn ants with the flamethrower troops aswell as smack them with the fly swatter because they are the only enemy in the game with a weird hitbox so just burn them ASAP, nasty ones.
This version does not have multiplayer but it does have Skirmish which has alot of maps to choose from so that aswell as the campaign is enough to have fun with.

A great game for nostalgia.
unlike army men 2, this was NOWHERE close to good as i remember, even ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ majoras mask wasnt as hard for plyers who finished oot.
i still have a crush on tina tomorrow though
Refunded once. Dunno why I bought this again. Might bc I'm a actual masochist to get more torture out my life.
A real one that needs a remaster but the corps don't a ♥♥♥♥ about it.
Great Game, Always loved these as a Kid.
Waaay harder then i remember as a kid but just as fun!
When I was but a child, when all my peers had a console, I had a tower with XP, and this collection of Army Men games from 3DO. Before I had friends, these little green chumps filled that spot. These games are classic gems to another time. No matter how far we go with tech and the gaming world, I'll always come back to this, time and time again.
I enjoyed army men quite a bit, though, my biggest pet peeve was that in sandbox mode, theres a limit to how many troops you command. The old version didn't have limits. Just absurd numbers. Still good though
6/10
Fair
I Love the Army Men franchise. However this game is so atrocious compared to any other army men game. It tries to mix a RTS with isometric shooter. How is this different than other Army Men games? Everything. Movement control is horrid when it does work. Looks like you can move past an obsticle? nope, you got stuck on who knows what. Different commands for units to use, sure, but completely worthless unless set on def or atk. What about the different guns and abilities you can pick up? Most everything is worthless except grenades for close encounters and mortars for far. everything else is trash. OH they give you all these men to control and use and stratagize with.....and they're gone.....from 1 grenade. Then there is the saving functionality, it all seems well and good, untill you move to the next level, AND YOU HAVE NO MORE ROOM TO SAVE FILES, MAKING YOU RESTART ON THE PREVIOUS LEVEL THAT WAS YOUR LAST SAVE. And that is with using the games saves and overwriting only those. If you love Army Men, dont get this game. It is a horrible experience. Army Men 1 is leagues better than this trash.
All right, this game is going to be a tough review in 2020 but I loved this game as a kid so here you go:
The basic gist of it is that there's a lot of depth and fun to be had here; you could easily reskin this software and sell it as a hardcore tactical action/RTS hybrid game. However, the game was obviously made in the 90s and the controls are extremely clunky. You will need a few hours to become the least bit competent but the game does at least provide a decent enough tutorial to get you started. Unless you bought the three-pack and bothered to try Army Men 1 & 2, you don't even know how lucky you are to have cursor-based movement at all. As stubborn as it is, just imagine having to play this game with WASD like high-level players.
If you own Running With Rifles and have never played this game before, you can go ahead and skip right over this because this game pretty much controls like that, only far worse and with the added ability of directing entire squads at your leisure, rather than one constantly-dying nobody. But something is lost in the modern era; if you do that, you will be losing all the charm of toasting your enemies with giant aerosol can flamethrowers, and playing quaint little skirmishes and deathmatches with the plentiful multiplayer maps and modes to be found here, and flipping a Jeep over a rubber duck and getting little bits of your plastic @ss scattered into a giant bath tub by enemy shrapnel.
This game functions well on paper and gives you more tactical options twenty years ago than Running With Rifles does today: Form and direct custom squads with quick and easy control group mechanics, use a wider way of weapons with mortars, flamethrowers, mines, gun emplacements, powerups both instant and stashable, as well as three semi-permanent upgrades to your rifle, and enjoy greater freedom of movement with the ability to roll while kneeling and prone, and fire most light weapons on the move.
The problem is all those features need buttons to activate them, and you would do well to spend your first few minutes with the game overviewing the controls and tweaking the hotkeys to your preference. I'm not sure if newer generations have the patience for a learning curve like this without the latest graphics and smooth enough controls, but enjoy this game and prove me wrong for six bucks, or whatever the sale price is.
OLD TIME CLASSIC!!!!!!!
controls are confusing and a pain in the ass to use. they should have left it the way Army men 2 was. at least the controls for that game was easy and made the game fun. i do not know why this game has a battle mode and army men 2 does not have it.
so if you want to get stuck on a level for an hour dying left and right and have difficulties working the controls for the game go ahead and waist your money on this game.
[h1]《玩具兵大战3：太空玩具》——三部曲的浪漫收尾[/h1]
[i] BGM: [url=https://music.163.com/song?id=16884107&userid=264719478]This Modern Love[/url] [/i]
[quote] 凡有始，应有终。 [/quote]
如同一切美好的事物一样，宜人的初遇是不期然降临的，煌煌之巅峰是最深受钟爱的，盛大的结束是我们所期许的。玩具兵大战的老三部曲——那时的中士 (Sarge) 还是一脸憨直，没有变成巨石强森——终于迎来了尾声。
只是，有些结束意味着，一个时代的寿终正寝与不可复刻，因此才令人徒生追惜，就像每个人的童年一样。“...But I never want it to end.”
所以即便“第三部”（无论影视界还是游戏界）总是难逃风评不如前作的规律，却依然能比后来者更受宽待和偏爱。[spoiler]才不是因为数三强迫症呢[/spoiler]
[h1]➤ I. 向着银河，全军突击[/h1]
从玩具兵大战2代（评测请戳 [u][url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/xianjian1998/recommended/549170/]传送门[/url][/u] ）到3代“太空玩具”，第一印象是变化似乎不大。
对于热忱的粉丝来说，游戏内容是怎么也不嫌多的，哪怕你把新游戏做成前作的大型DLC也无碍，权当是又更新了许多新关卡，岂不美哉。
对于厂商来说，一套游戏引擎的红利吃久一点再好不过，玩法和风格的大幅变动更是充满风险。但是全无改进又是不行的，不仅会被诟病“技术力不足”，还会吃到“边际效用递减”的市场肘击。
因此，不如做点 [i] 简单的加法[/i]。
[h1]所以3代更强了——[/h1]
[table]
[tr]
[td]军 备 竞 赛[/td]
[td][list]
[*]增加了一些传统武器，比如空中打击从单一的轰炸扩充到三种类型的空袭。[spoiler]迫击炮变成了无争议的版本之子。[/spoiler]
[*]增加了许多人类系武器，譬如倒胶水、钉钉子、棒球砸、喷杀虫剂等。
[*]增加了几种“立即使用”的装备，包括“极速”（肾上腺素）、无敌防护罩、防弹衣（无时限）等。
[/list][/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]新 人 加 入[/td]
[td][list]
[*]盟友的5个新兵种：冰冻枪、手提加特林、火焰迫击炮、冰冻迫击炮、电击机器人。另有2种新车辆。
[*]种类繁多的外星敌人：幼虫、激光枪、独眼章鱼等。
[/list][/td]
[/tr]
[/table]
[h1]所以3代更大了——[/h1]
亦即战场更广阔。2代里面人类世界地图只占三分之一（共4个），3代则倍增至八个，而且其余三个均为外星场景。
[quote] 从摆满三明治的红白野餐布到遍插雪糕棍的沙池，从浴缸湖里的海绵小岛到散落着爆米花的浅蓝厚地毯，英勇的绿军士兵们一路前进，在花园盆栽的茂盛叶子下躲避黄军敌机的轮番轰炸，护送难民卡车穿越马桶底下的密集雷区，与贪食着融化棒棒糖的黑蚂蚁群陷入激战，在危险的吹风机与吸尘器旁边与外星杂种们周旋，还要时刻提防从竹篮与球鞋里倾巢而出的伏兵。 [/quote]
加法做完了，再来点 [i] 迷惑的减法[/i]。2代里面非常好用的“向中士集合”指令被删除了，普通士兵能够升级变强的机制也取消了。
一番操作过后，原汁原味（?）的3代便全新（??）推出了。虽然偶尔会因场景的重复度产生“是不是想象力不足啊”的疑惑，但说真的，奇幻的玩具兵战争加科幻的外星冒险，同时激发了玩家对微观世界与宏观宇宙的幻想热情，[spoiler]两件令少年快乐的事情重合在一起。而这双倍的快乐，又带来更多的快乐，[/spoiler]吸引力实在是更上一个层次了。
从这个角度来说，将3代称之为系列的翘楚也未尝不可。也许这便是笔者一直对本作怀有特殊好感与经久新鲜感的原因之一吧。
[h1]➤ II. 惑 星 上 的 蒸 汽 波 [/h1]
柔和的天蓝色，常伴浅浅笑意的面容，让人不自觉地去亲近；明明有足够强大的火力，却总是散发着温柔的气质，使人联想起异乡的娜美克星人。
来自另一颗行星的奇妙部队，在一位可爱女士的率领下迅速打破了绿军士兵的心防。
"WHO are you?"
"I am Tina. Tina Tomorrow."
神秘、修长而又讨人喜欢，蒂娜·明日的身上有一种令人难忘的魅力：受困被救而不失优雅从容的风度，一袭干练的短裙，让袅娜的身姿愈显迷人；一双长筒靴步履生风，敏锐疾行的脚步声，赋予了队友明快的动力；小巧的佩枪却能扭转乾坤，冰冻镭射每每令敌人无力反击，前方的危机越难以克服，便越显得其格外可靠。
在这样一支可靠盟军的协助下，绿军三番五次地扼杀了大头外星人的阴谋——中士孤身涉险炸翻黄军的一众坦克，蒂娜则负责冷静地破坏掉敌人的发电机；中士带队刺杀掉敌军指挥官的同时，蒂娜也成功盗出了电子版的地图。
在最危急的太空总部保卫战当中，中士指挥外线防御顽强顶住了双面的高压攻势，将浪潮般来袭的敌军无情地烧成熔渣，蒂娜则带领卫队展开严密的内部巡逻，机警地歼灭了一批批空降的敌伞兵与传送潜入的外星章鱼。
当最后的胜利来临之际，这段短暂的并肩历险也悄然走到了终点。
在满天焰火的照耀下，中士与蒂娜安静地对视着，脸上都略过心照不宣的微笑。
想要告诉你，有你在身边是一种幸运。
想要体会你，荡漾出独一色彩的眼睛。
想要接近你，只要在世上一同地存在。
[h1]➤ III. "Your move."[/h1]
如果说新的外星盟军让人爱不释手，那么复古的难度则让笔者重温了智谋上的快感。
玩具兵大战初代（评测请戳 [u][url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/xianjian1998/recommended/549160?snr=1_5_9__402]传送门[/url][/u] ）是一部非常考验背板的作品，因为战争迷雾使玩家难以观察敌军的布置，高智商的AI使随意惊动敌人的代价相当高昂，而脚本触发的各种天降伏兵则更是让玩家防不胜防、应对失措。而2代则难度骤降，战争迷雾取消了，敌兵不怎么追击了，突发事件也变少了，玩家大部分时候就是一路平推就完事了。
>> 而从好的（或者不如说正常的）一方面来讲，3代在2代的基础上做了一些难度的调整：
+ 提高了敌人的伤害和血量，又取消了我方普通士兵升级变强的机制，使得消灭单兵都需要谨慎计划；
+ 在某些关卡中，持续派来的追兵和轰炸机，大大增强了压迫感，迫使玩家保持移动；
+ 大量预设的突发事件，使敌人可能以任何方式出现在意想不到的地方，要求玩家快速反应或者提前做好周密的部署。
以第10关太空总部防御战为最典型栗子。敌军会对两侧城门一齐发动猛攻，或者先后突袭，还会鬼鬼祟祟地往城里不同角落投放强力敌兵。稍不注意，我方就会遭受沉重的打击。
由于笔者的追求是“不损失一个士兵”，所以防御火力怎么布置，怎么提前派人去堵空降的敌军，计划要精确到每一步，每一秒，为此单是这一关就建了15个存档——往往是刚挫败了一轮攻势，便马上存档，等待敌军的下一次行动，仔细观察过后马上读档，以做出完美的应对。
>> 从不如人意的方面来讲， Steam 版本的玩具兵大战3有一个很大的问题，那就是同时控制多个单位会造成游戏运行的不流畅和鼠标的严重卡顿。笔者尝试按照社区的建议，将鼠标灵敏度调低，但依然无济于事，因此很少指挥多个士兵一起行动，往往是采取“独狼模式”。也是因为这个原因，要做出快速及时的反应变得相对更难了，只能更依赖提前的部署。
——这两方面的因素导致玩家需要密切观察留意敌军的动向，据此不断修正自己的行动方案，颇有“兵来将挡水来土掩”的博弈感，实在也是一大乐趣。
[h1]➤ IV. 尾声[/h1]
在3DO公司解散后，《玩具兵大战》系列的版权兜兜转转落入2K手中。也许是因为老三部曲和RTS战略版最有商业价值，所以原装登陆 Steam 的只有这4部作品，未免有些许遗珠之憾。
但笔者仍是感到很庆幸。
因为从初代的守卫绿国，到2代的大人国冒险，再到3代的星空之战，中士 (Sarge) 的历程已经足够完整。自那之后，无论主角身份面貌，抑或率队共同进退的感觉，都不复当初。
但不会变的是那些贵重的回忆，与亲密的陪伴。
最终留下的是那些重拾的心动，与悠游的幻想。

gg old game!
记得之前买的光盘里有好几个版本的，steam上就这么几个？
Best childhood game today... but this version for some reason harder and more buggy than older version
other than that, it's good
A very nice game with toy army :) ..but this time in space :D ...is very nice and cool game from this franchise as it is a bit different from others but still fun and nice to play...have fun and enjoy !!
Classic.
[h1]This game is horrendous.[/h1]
Though it has a kind of interesting premise, the whole game is ruined by some of the worst controls i have ever seen in 25 years of playing video games.
Stay away. Otherwise you'll regret it.
EDIT: This is also true for Army Men I & II. Army Men II however is slightly less awful than Army Men I and Toys in Space, since it is much shorter than the other two so you can go back to playing good games much sooner.
Those games really COULD be fun, if they just had a proper modern control scheme.
__________________________________________________________________________
ARMY MEN TOYS IN SPACE
Genre: Casual Action
Release: Q3 1999
( ) 0/8 Simply one of the worst games ever made. Don't waste any money on this.
(X) 1/8 Bad. Seriously flawed with barely any redeeming qualities. Worth a couple of Cents at best, if at all.
( )2/8 Sub-par. Only for hardcore-fans of respective genre / series. Don't pay more than 5 bucks.
( ) 3/8 Meh-diocre. It‘s okay. Don't pay more than 10 bucks.
( ) 4/8 Decent, but not for everybody. Don't pay more than 15 bucks.
( ) 5/8 Good game, Must-play for genre- / series-fans. Worth 20 to 25 bucks max, if you are not a fan.
( ) 6/8 Great game, universal recommendation. 30 bucks would be a steal for this.
( ) 7/8 Outstanding game, a milestone of it‘s respective genre. Definitely worth its full prize.

童年，补票，好评
Not a perfect game by any means, but still a fun little game to kill some time.
Quirky little game from long time ago. 10/10 would alien girl again
Game crashes all the time, I do remember playing this game when I was 8 though they really should make a remake of it.
Grew up living on the computer playing all these army men games between mowing the lawn and playing with actual plastic army men. I remember Toys In Space being impossibly difficult, and it still is. This is probably the most difficult game in the entire Army Men franchise. Glad it's on Steam, for the price you can't complain. Time to get World War and Air Tactics too on to Steam too!!!!!!!
broken buggy mess dont buy
its sad i have wanted to play this game forever but this version is just crap
[h1]★ ★ ★ ★ -
I now know where my slight interest and appreciation for classical orchestra music came from lol[/h1]
K of course i suggest this game for a fun little 2D over head shooter and the start of the Army Men franchise which lasted through the beginning of PC as a strategy builder like star craft with the 2D shooter, and a few consoles when it changed to more of a 3rd person shoulder shooter, and its cheap so its worth seeing if it will run for you if you played it before.
[b]+General+[/b]
this was the last of the beginning games that are overhead 2d shooters, but also was the 1st one where they finally got the controls down perfect, so you can use the w,s,a,d to move sarge but also the mouse to move or click to shoot in that direction while using the buttons to run and dive, using 1-6 will now select the item in your inventory and you can set F1-F6 to auto select a group of soldiers you group together, and they seemed to have left the Battle Mode / offline / LAN multiplayer in this one! not sure why they took it out of Army Men 2 (-_-)
you can also right click and drag across the screen to highlight a few soldiers or all of them to move together, or the R G T buttons rally them to you or you can select a couple soldiers and hit defend button to tell them to stay somewhere while you move on, so the ability to divide your force now is great, also you can just pick 1 of the other soldiers to play as just like Sarge but the aliens cant dive or roll etc. so you can divide your force and organize them to toggle between using which guys.
but one of the biggest benefits of Toys in Space is you can use items on your other soldiers, so if you select the medic item in your inventory and press Space you will use it on Sarge, but you can also just move the mouse over to the picture of the soldier in your group and heal them, and you can see their stats by selecting them on the field and checking the right panel, also dont forget to put your team into your vehicles like tanks, boats, jeeps etc. or you can even put them in a tank to defend the area while Sarge runs off to do other stuff, so now think of all the other green soldiers as Sarges' to a shorter degree of ability.
the bad thing about these games is the objective isnt always clear, so you may spend time walking around looking at stuff to see if you can do something with it, so make sure to use your objectives menu / map and you can scroll around the map by clicking on it in the top right panel, if you have to run a long distance and you know there isnt any enemies in that area you can just move the screen to that part of the map and click, then wait for sarge to run up to that area, then click on his pic on the left again to go back to his fixed screen and R to re-rally your teammates or just highlight them.
[b]+Issues+[/b]
this game is super old tho as well so it doesnt run great, i havent had many issues with the controls or actually playing like some users mention, but just keep in mind its an old 640x480 game upscaled so [b]Do Not Windows Out,[/b] lol it doesnt like it and you will be Ctrl Alt Deleting your way out
also be ready for loud cutscenes like old games like to cuz the audio control doesnt effect videos etc. so instead of using the in-game volume settings, leave them maxed or adjusted for the right SFX to music and other sounds, then open the Windows Volume Mixer and lower the sound level of this games application input, which will make all sounds coming from the game the same lower level so no more blowing your ears off in cutscenes.
although im guessing this wont be a problem for most users cuz the only ones that may wanna buy it are ppl that played it before as kids lol, i dont see many kids that grew up with the ps2 and on their whole lives wanting to play this.
Sin dudas Army Men: Toys in Space es un gran juego, pero también fue una de las causas por las cuales 3DO se aseguró su bancarrota. Tras haber lanzado en 1998 el Army Men, en 1999 exploto y lanzaron 5 juegos seguidos en diferentes plataformas y probando diferentes entornos, un grave error, mas allá del reciclaje (como hoy en día hacen otras empresas como Ubisoft), Toys in Space podría haber sido un DLC en estos tiempos de Army Men II, pero en esos tiempos no existían los DLC y explotaron a los soldaditos de plástico hasta lo más que pudieron, este fue el anteúltimo juego que respeto la estética y el diseño de los originales, respetando su Real-Time Tactics (Tácticas en tiempo real), luego el ultimo de este tipo que actualmente no está disponible en Steam fue: Army Men: World War (2000), si salió un año después y lanzaron otros 4 juegos más como el año anterior, en cualquier plataforma de cualquier forma y esa fue la última vez que los veríamos tal y como los conocimos.
Volviendo a Army Men: Toys in Space, en su tiempo fue un juego muy criticado, ruvo una recepción negativa y puntuaciones por debajo de la media, era claro, estaban reutilizando.
Este es el único juego que aparece el personaje Tina Tomorrow y sus Tropas Espaciales.
La historia es simple, cae una nave espacial y se hacen aliados de los Tan (Soldados Amarillos), a su vez a esa nave la seguía otra que era la de Tina Tomorrow y sus Tropas nos encontramos con Tina hacemos unos niveles y listo.
This game does not work. I had read other people saying it has issues with newer computers but thought I might not have them. I had them much worse.
I only got to be at the main menu for a few seconds, noticing the terrible mouse input others have noted, before I tabbed out to pause my music since the game broke my pause/play key. Tabbing out instantly broke my entire computer, causing it to do nothing but constantly flash between pure black and pure white extremely quickly. After spending about 10 minutes trying everything to stop this, including turning off the computer, I had eventually just decided to hold the power button.
I have no idea how a product like this is even allowed on the platform, it acted worse than any virus I've ever had.
10/10 my childhood
Its a good game. But the cheat codes do not work for campaign mode, Map 5 mission 1 isn't funtioning. It keeps shelling out to my windows screen everytime. I load the game from my saved games. it says: It had an tech error. Easy feels more like medium or hard difficulty level. But its a lot of fun to play. I played for about after 9 hours. The game stopped working.
People complaining about difficulity how hard this game is. Wake up ppl this is not some ♥♥♥♥♥♥ serial produced cheap crap. If you can't beat a nearly 20 years old game, go play call of duty, fortnite or pubg where is no challenge at all.
Yes this game is a bit challenging, you have to use your brain to work out strategies to complete a level.
If you know this game is hard, why do you even buy it? This is a classic game you should know if you purchase.
Great Game.
I absolutely loved this game as a kid. Tina Tomorrow <3
BUT I can't recommend this version of the game, as the controls don't function. Seems the rest of the Army Men games work well enough on steam, but this one does not yet.
Classic Army Men game with a strange twist.
The first thing I had noticed with this title is that compared to the previous releases the difficulty here had increased a bit but does not take away from the fun; you will not be cruising through these missions.
The controls here feel dated but not obsolete and can be played.
Graphically aged.
Sound engine is okay.
Storyline seems slightly lacking in the sense you are just dropped in with not too much storytelling giving you an idea what you're really doing here and why you're fighting other than the age old fact that the Tan are involved.
This plays well on modern machines with modern OS's.
Get this game only on sale.
Doesn't work on my system. Mouse is unusable (i7 8700k, GTX 1080, 16 GB DDR4, Windows 10). I love this game and used to play it as a kid but cannot recommend it until it is fixed, if ever.
The greatest classic that i played when i was little, now able to relive the times playing this. highly recommended.
Spent too much time on this when I was a kid. The campaign mode requires skill. Battle mode is fun to just kill bots and explore. The big downer is no multiplayer... it would seem easy to integrate too. I fixed the mouse bug by dropping to 400 dpi and 250 polling rate in my Logitech Gaming Software. I think polling rate is the important bit. No other issues so far.
Тот момент, когда я провалился в детство... Простое, чистое зелёное детство. Вспомнился первый отцовский ноутбук. Пентиум 2, 133 МГц. И эта игра. На данный момент игра врядли представляет что-то стоящее для Новой Школы, проще зайти в Company of Heroes или что-то вроде. Это олдскульный тактический шутер в локациях кухни, песочницы, гаража и прочих мест боёв пластиковых войнов. Но этот сборник я купил по той же причине, по которой у меня на полке стоит Sega, NES, SNES, Dreamcast и прочий мусор из прошлого миллениума. Ностальгия.
People whining the weapons are underpowered and the enemies are too powerful. Get gud.
Nostalgia overload. Great port.
pretty cool old classic game but this version has a critical bug
1. mouse doesn't work smoothly every time while play game
2. when you playing this game sometimes escape to window
and flickering forever
Remember play this game as a kid loved every min of it highly recommend!! bring more Army men titles !!!!!
Quick Summary:
- Playable with windows 10. (But there's still a chance that it will not work for some people)
- Gameplay is like Army Men 2, with some adjustment both better and worse.
- This one has offline battle mode.
- The enemies in the campaign are harder to kill than previous game even in easy difficulty which makes the campaign harder and more frustrating.
I played this game when I was young which was about 15 years ago. I finished the game using cheat codes because I was bad at the game. Now I've just finished the game (with easy difficulty), the review will be based on my present view.
Comparing to Army Men 2
Gameplay
Pros:
- Good graphics.
- More unit types. (mortar man, Alien faction, Space men faction).
- Offline battle (with bots).
- Different control scheme (depends on one's preference)
> to stand fire, just left click (no need for holding shift)
> right click to order move/attack
- You can control any unit in your squad individually. (mortar man is OP!!)
- New squad system, you can assign your units to different squads.
- Bigger battles with more unit under your command.
Cons:
- Enemies are hard to kill, even in easy mode.
> enemy infantry will usually go prone and roll around when under fire with makes them difficult to hit (proning is OP in this game).
> enemy somehow take less damage from weapons. For example, even I use flamethrower on a rifle man, it takes long time before I can kill him (takes about 10-20 ammo!).
> weapons have been nerfed. (ie. it takes 4-5 mortar to kill a tank, 10-20 flamethrow ammo to kill a guy, loads of rifle ammo to kill a guy, 1 air strike cannot kill a tank, etc.)
> eventually, it takes time to adapt to the new weapons/game balance.
- AI is bad and annoying. This also causes some missions to be more difficult since some missions are big battles that you cannot win using only Sarge.
> Path finding is terrible. If you order a guy to move to another position far away, he may get stuck, take a long way, go to different locations. This forces you to micro manage or move the guy there yourself.
> friendly AI is bad (especially, space men units). Sometimes they don't shoot the enemy even they are in front of you (with defense or stand fire command). It takes time to learn the AI behavior to command your units effectively.
The Army Men games were some of the first games I ever played as a little kid. Happy to see that they have FINALLY been added to steam.
Gameplay wise, it's obviously older then most of you reading this, so yeah, it's not "ultra pretty real life OMG graphics"
Still a fun game in a series of awesome games ( Except maybe Sarges Heros )
Buy this for the nostalgia.
Army Men I and II are my favorite games. But I don't like this one.
The sense of control is badly. Sarge is too weak, enemies are too strong. You can't kill a single soldier with your rifle in a short time. But he can kill you very quickly.
3代 还是他娘的原版 一点都没重置的感觉
同样 这个版本补上了所有动画和音乐 完整不漏
当然 还是不能改分辨率 评测区那个1080p的鬼佬NMB炸了
可以切屏 但是不能截图 不支持steamworks
可以当做是2代换了个剧情的版本
反正 3DO不存在了
网上一般来说找不到原版3代的完整游戏 所以叙旧/喜加1可以考虑入手
