Lots of us have fond memories of the original Halo on Xbox; a game that is now considered 'retro' in some circles given its age and the console generation it launched on. However, what if Halo was even more retro than it is? Well, a developer has successfully 'demade' the first two levels of the game in Halo: Combat Devolved.
Yep, this is one of those cool retro-style demakes you see online every now and then - the console era these are based on does vary, but this Halo one is Game Boy Color themed. Here's a clip of the title in action:
Unfortunately, this isn't a full demake just yet - only the first two levels are playable and it isn't on Xbox or anything like that. However, you can simply play Halo: Combat Devolved on your internet browser, or grab the file for Game Boy Color or a modern-retro console like the Analogue Pocket.
We think this looks awesome, and it really does give you a completely different perspective on Halo and how the series could have looked if Microsoft and Bungie rustled this one up a bit earlier - and on a handheld console for that matter. The good news is that the creator is still working on this, and their intention is to demake the full game eventually.

Would this work on Xbox with Microsoft edge?
@Decimateh I believe it should.
Thank goodness this isn’t a Nintendo IP otherwise they’d be firing up their legal team’s own Halo ring.
I discovered it recently, and I was very delighted about how faithful and cool it is. I hope the maker finish it.
Makes sense to have Halo be on par with level of quality that makes up 95% of Game Pass offerings.
@Yousef- thanks il check it out 🙂
Should’ve been a switch exclusive … would be smart way to put Xbox brands on other consoles so PlayStation will have a different style halo like hades or 1D
That’s pretty damn cool.
the sgt johnson voice line caught me off guard 🤣😂🤣
Ooo, I'm gonna try this on my actual GBC.
Pretty good for a demake, ran into a glitch though where I got stuck inside an enemy and couldn't do anything but take damage till I died.
