Game snapshot
Attack on Toys pits tiny plastic combatants against one another in a third-person, real-time shooter experience. Playing as an officer of the Green Army, your objective is to protect your base from the invading Tan forces. The single-player campaign sends increasingly difficult waves of enemies at you, while optional multiplayer lets friends join the fray.
How the action unfolds
The combat blends shooter mechanics with simple squad tactics. You’ll position troops, take control of key firing points, and employ transportation to outmaneuver attackers. Vehicles and gear let you stage ambushes, reinforce weak spots, or evacuate quickly when a breach occurs.
Key vehicle and transport options:
- Planes for quick strikes and air support
- Jeeps for fast ground movement and flanking
- Parachutes for rapid redeployment of units
Enemies and escalating difficulty
Early waves are straightforward and intended to teach basic combat: small ranks of soldiers that can be picked off quickly. As you progress, larger and more dangerous units arrive, forcing you to adapt your tactics and use the environment to your advantage.
Common threats include:
- Mutated insect forces (giant cockroaches and spiders)
- Undead-like zombie soldiers with unpredictable behavior
- Standard plastic infantry in large numbers
- Oversized or heavy units that require focused fire
Tactical notes: elevated sniper positions make short work of initial waves, and the arsenal includes long-range and close-quarters options (sniper perches, ten additional weapon types covering melee and distance).
Setting up multiplayer
Multiplayer is implemented by running a LAN-style session over a VPN service. The developers suggest using Hamachi to create a virtual network or game room that supports a small group of players.
Multiplayer details:
- Recommended: Hamachi VPN for creating a private network
- Session size: typically accommodates three to four participants
- Modes: cooperate to defend the headquarters or compete in player-vs-player skirmishes
Who will enjoy this game
Attack on Toys is ideal for players who like nostalgic themes with fast-paced combat. The toy-soldier aesthetic keeps the tone light, making it accessible to younger audiences, while the variety of weapons, vehicles, and enemy types provides enough depth for tactical play against AI or friends.
