The Halo: Spartan Assault mobile game is now up for grabs for all owners of Windows Phone 8 handsets, after being available exclusively on Verizon’s smartphones powered by the mobile platform for the past several weeks.

The title can be downloaded on all Windows Phone devices that pack at least 1GB of RAM, and sports a price tag of $6.99 (€5.25).

The game was designed to bring the Halo universe to mobile devices, plunging users in the action set between the stories of Halo 3 and Halo 4, as PhoneArena notes.

“Halo: Spartan Assault brings the excitement of Halo combat to touch-based devices for the very first time. Battle your way through 25 action-packed missions against the Covenant as you explore the origin of the Spartan Ops program and Halo 4's Spartan Commander, Sarah Palmer,” the game’s description reads.
