While I have been raving about the game and yes I do like it, there is just one thing, the price. On top of that, there are side quests and mini games.

Skirmish mode is fun to just pick up and play, multiplayer is a great addition with the second player playing on the game pad too! Along with the ability to have custom armies for your multiplayer skirmishes, needless to say there are a lot of options. The story mode is much the same as the last one, funny lines and fun gameplay move things along well and it is quite enjoyable. My favourites are still the Vikings of course but the other clans add something new and welcome to the fray! I miss the Mayan and the Chinese still, so fingers crossed for downloadable content for them eh? The Scottish sounding Vikings are back of course, you couldn’t have the game with out them of course, but the perfect fit for the game has been added! Demons are like from Lord of The Rings, horrid little goblins lead the charge, but the potential to raise the dead and send out giant ogres makes them great fun to play as! Persians add more mechanics different to the others as well, Genies, large gates, they are completely different in play style to any other factions. The next big difference is the new factions also, both new factions are excellent fun, bringing with them new deep play mechanics. The detail is very good on the big screen especially, but also on the game pad too. The sequel Swords & Soldiers II is the same again, but with the volume turned up on all the good things! Most strikingly the graphics are stunning it’s like playing an Oscar winning French cartoon. Story mode and such added more value and overall I did really love it. I am not really a real time strategy guy too, but the game was fun, the factions were fun, Vikings, Chinese and Mayans all brought their own style and made for an interesting game.

Swords and Soldiers was a rip roaring success on the Wii, I first played it when it came out on the Wii U, I loved it. Do you want a beautiful looking, deep strategy real time game? Do you have a Nintendo Switch? Do you have seventeen pounds? If all your answers are yes, then what are you waiting for? Go buy this game! Well, I wish things could be as cut and dried as above, but nothing quite is! While all my statements are true above, there are always shades of grey to be seen.
