Swords & Soldiers has enabled a gateway for people who don't normally venture into the real time strategy genre, to be able to pick up their Wii remote and play. Sure it has lost some of the challenge that comes with PC RTS games, but that isn't much of a big deal when the game is crammed with charm and is a blast to play. If you want to play a RTS that's stress free and doesn't require much of your time, then Swords & Soldiers is perfect for you. It's one of the better titles on the service at the moment and at 1000 points, you really don't have to worry about the recession to buy it. Instead just get out there and find your perfect barbeque sauce, it's a highly amusing experience".

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.
