The very entertaining side-scrolling, real time strategy game is a bargain of a download at 1000 Wii points (currently right around $10 USD). The game could also have been titled Violence and Vegetables although I doubt it would be downloaded as much. Swords & Soldiers can be found only be found on WiiWare.
However, if the editors at Elder-Geek ever ask me to write or review again, I be fully qualified to write an editorial and title it “Gaming With a 12-Week Old Infant in Your Home: Dont Get Your Hopes Up.” However, after many sessions, I can claim success! First off, it did not take me weeks to finish the game because of its super long play.
I attempted to review it without finishing the game, but it felt kind of dirty and wrong. The original Swords & Soldiers HD is free here for the next day.After many days of playing, I finally feel that I am in a position to accurately review Swords & Soldiers by Ronimo Games (makers of De Blob). Swords & Soldiers 2: Shawarmageddon will be out on PC this autumn, priced at £16/$20. Hopefully the upcoming sequel finds the audience it deserves, as it's apparently a somewhat richer and more complex game than the first and a more confident design overall. Swords and Soldiers 2 was well-received when it launched on the Wii U, but as that particular console never really took off, it didn't reach quite the same scale of audience as the original. Definitely a good place to start if you've ever wanted to dabble. If you're a hardcore RTS veteran that grew up playing Dune 2 and Command & Conquer before graduating to Starcraft's ultra-twitchy systems, you might find Swords & Soldiers' design a bit limiting and simplistic, but there's a lot of folks out there who look at the genre and find the whole thing immediately intimidating.
Build appropriate units to counter incoming forces, secure resources and gradually push your way into enemy territory. Some branch points aside, its battles play out on a side-scrolling 2D plane, with your team on the far left side, the baddies on the far right. If you've never heard of it before, Swords and Soldiers is a cute little lightweight real-time strategy game, arguably for people who are new at the genre or just not feeling up to micromanaging enormously complex armies. Alongside the announcement a PC launch (it's been out on consoles for yonks) for silly side-scrolling strategy game Swords & Soldiers 2: Shawarmageddon, they've made the original Swords and Soldiers HD free to grab on Steam for the next 24 hours and keep forever. That's definitely what Awesomenauts studio Ronimo are doing today. It's quickly becoming A Thing in some circles that when you announce a sequel, you just throw the original at people for free.
