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.

8.5 sure is a great score for a downloadable title. I hadn't even heard of this game when it was on the Nintendo Wii...
