You play as an action figure defending the Hypercore, a power source tied to the memories of beloved toys, from Major Evil and his forces. The campaign places toy-sized fighters in oversized everyday environments such as bedrooms and stores.
Between waves of enemy toys, explore each map for weapons, resources, batteries, and secrets, then spend resources to prepare defenses around the Hypercore. When the attacks begin, fight with a range of weapons and move through the environment to protect your objective.
Play alone with AI bots, or team up in online or local co-op, including split-screen for up to four players. The game also includes player-versus-player modes, a free-roam option, first- and third-person views, and unlockable figure customizations and weapons.
Players who enjoy the game often point to its toy-scale environments, playful nostalgic atmosphere, and the fun of defending objectives with friends, especially in local co-op. Reviewers also appreciate exploring detailed maps and earning character and weapon unlocks. Some players find the wave-based play repetitive or the combat rough, and several mention difficulty finding online matches.
There was once an ancient line of action figures, who created a magical power source that would allow humans to keep their favourite childhood memories of their toys. This ancient power source is known as the Hypercore. Inside the Hypercore are the beloved memories of our favorite toys. If Major Evil destroys it, these memories will disappear forever. Defend it with everything you've got, or see our cherished toys turn into lost treasures of the past!
