CheatCC says, "It's surprising how few real-time strategy games are currently available on Wii considering the control possibilities of both the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, but perhaps developers will take note of Ronimo's success on WiiWare. Swords & Soldiers definitely hits the mark, in spite of a few missions that overstay their welcome. There's no online component, which is truly sad, since the gameplay is pitch perfect for quick, online "pwnage." That said, you're still getting a whole lot of game for your 1000 Wii Points, and regardless of the lack of competition on Wii, Swords & Soldiers is a great little game that easily stacks up against any other RTS on any system. It's a definite buy for strategy-loving Wii owners."
Switch is quickly becoming the go-to home for indie titles, but it's also receiving a fair amount of remasters of titles from yesteryear. The latest is Swords & Soldiers, an RTS/tower defence from a decade ago. It's not Swords & Soldiers's first foray into the world of Nintendo, with the original appearing on Wii U, back in 2014, followed by a sequel a year later thanks to Kickstarter. Now the original is getting a surprise release on Nintendo hybrid platform.
Today we are going to break out the poison darts and throwing axes for a bit of friendly skull-splitting with Swords & Soldiers for the Nintendo Switch a side-scrolling Real-time strategy game from Two Tribes’ and Ronimo Games. Let's see how this stacks up against the classic ideas of an RTS.
Two Tribes and Ronimo Games have announced that Swords & Soldiers is out now on Nintendo Switch and Swords and Soldiers 2 Shawarmageddon on March 1, 2019.
