I was disappointed to see that there is no trial in either the Windows Phone or Windows RT versions of Halo: Spartan Assault as I wanted to try both out to see which I like better. As is, I am hoping those who have played either (or, better yet, both) versions of the game can chime in. Here are the pros and cons:
1. Windows Phone version
If I get this one I don't have to pay for it (still have some money from the $25 Nokia Lumia 928 credit), but I worry it will be too hard to play on the smaller screen.
2. Surface RT
I love my Surface RT but I have heard that the Harvest runs sluggishly on it, so I wanted to ensure it could handle Halo. The larger screen seems like a plus, but that's not always a guarantee (for example, I have Rocket Riot on both my Surface and Windows Phone and I actually prefer the Windows Phone version because in this case the smaller screen works better with the touch controls. They're more cumbersome on the Surface RT). The other downside is that I'd have to pay the $7 instead of free on my Windows Phone.
3. Both?
It's my understanding that this has a Skulls-of-the-Shogun-esque 'pick up and play' system across devices where I can start a campaign on the Surface, pause it, and pick up where I left off on Windows Phone (and vice versa). Is that true and has anyone here tried it out? Is it worth it?
