Why you might like it
- A quirky third-person shooter where you battle as tiny action-figure characters through a miniature-world setting — school hallways, toy boxes, war-torn towns — rather than a typical human-scale shooter map.
- Free-to-play with a distinctive figure-customization system, letting players build and equip their own toy soldier with different weapons and cosmetics.
- Was well-regarded in its era, ranked MMOSite's Second Most Anticipated MMO of 2010 and named an MMOGames Editor's Choice in 2011.
Things to consider
- This original MicroVolts service shut down permanently on September 9, 2017, and there is no way to play this specific version today.
- The rights were later sold to Masangsoft, who relaunched the game as a separate, currently-active title — 'MicroVolts Recharged' — on Steam in September 2023; if you want the modern version, that's the one to look for on this site.
- Be cautious of unofficial fan revivals like 'Toy Heroes Online,' which players report were unauthorized rather than a legitimate continuation.
