Rewrite history as you take control of the brutal Vikings, the devious Aztecs or the crafty Chinese in their global quest to win the favor of the Gods.
Swords & Soldiers is a side-scrolling strategy game that lets you control an entire army and wield devastating magical abilities. Demolish your enemy’s castle at the end of these two-dimensional battlefields and lead your troops to victory. Featuring hours of single-player campaign game play and challenging skirmishes, the game also offers frantic local multiplayer matches that let you take the fight to your friends. If that still isn’t enough for you, there are several unlockable challenge modes that will test your abilities even further.

This game's make it or break it moment is probably what it offers in multiplayer. Hope for WIFI, but expect at least good splitscreen.

I definitely can't wait for this one. As much as I suck at RTSs, they are incredibly fun! I've never played one in a more 2D style( except Patapon), so it'll definitely be a new experience. I don't really care if it has WiFi or not, so long as it has a good singleplayer, and maybe local multiplayer, I'll be just fine with it.
Edit: I just noticed that there's a ninja star embedded in the title! I'd say that there's a good chance that Ninjas will indeed appear in this game!

I'd be interested in it if it weren't for those cheesey "what I call crappy" graphics... which I disklike for a freaking good reason... because it looks like a poor excuse for one of those stupid adult oriented cartoons... and yes I'm old fashined and like this in a more classy way! give it a more Zelda WW Cel-Shaded look with enemies/characters that look like they came from a fantasy medieval story... not this crap!!!

I now had the honor to actually test the game last Saturday. It doesn't happen often that I play a game that continues to fascinate me all afternoon, but this game certainly did! I think that says enough.
Instant buy people!
25. Objection_Blaster
24 Dec 2008, 02:32 GMT
"I think that says enough." Not even close. Give us all the juicy details. Its not an instant buy just because you played it for ONE afternoon.
26. Xandecs
29 Dec 2008, 14:18 GMT
I can't give you any juicy details, because I'm not aloud to say anything specific about it.
I can say the third faction is also very good and fits perfectly with the other two. Also the storyline is developed very well!
27. darkmagi_82
01 Jan 2009, 19:53 GMT
I'm guessing that the third faction is oriental in origin (hopefully ninja related).
If you look at the Swords and Soldiers logo, you can see an arrow (Aztecs), an axe (Vikings), and a shuriken (???) protruding from the wooden shield.
28. tkubas1
25 Jan 2009, 20:57 GMT
Ninjas is the third a faction. This looks like the it will be the best game on wiiware( yes even beter than the perfection of World of Goo). The graphics look cool and perfect for this type of game.
29. Xandecs
16 Feb 2009, 13:36 GMT
It will be the best game on WiiWare so far. And if it are Ninjas... You will see, I know if it is or isn't.

It's a shame that this will have no online play (according to the interview), but this game will still be fantastic in terms of quality.

Confirmed to be coming soon: "in the next few weeks"

@Crazed: When so many games on the Wii don't have splitscreen, I'll happily take this one with that feature instead of online. It ticks me off that there are so few on the Wii, and yet almost every game on the 360 gets splitscreen >_<

I honestly can't believe some of you guys.
You won't get it just because of Wi-Fi?
What ever happened to getting some pals to come over and play it with them? Why is wi-fi such a big deal? You guys will miss out on a lot of great games that way. I can't wait for this game.

to those who have it/tried it:
i read on the official home page about different modes
-Various challenge modes, such as Survival, Berserker run, and more
can anyone give me more specifics of this one?

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong on this game, but I can't get past level 8 of the first campaign. Any tips, Marcel?
53. Drake
03 Jun 2009, 15:59 BST
Frosthammers and Catapults are your friends in that one, really!
54. Oppuzzor
03 Jun 2009, 20:35 BST
It's one of my favorite games! Just I have a problem to beat 9th level of the second campain. Can anyone tell me what I have to do?
55. Drake
03 Jun 2009, 21:13 BST
That one's pretty tough. I eventually beat it by slowly pushing forward to defeat the vikings (Simple), then throwing rocks as much as possible while pushing forward with Sun Giants.
When the vikings have been defeated, try making your units walk along the bottom path, then switching the sign to the top path and throwing a boulder so it passes by the units on the bottom path with no problem.
56. Homer Simpson
04 Jun 2009, 07:56 BST
Cheers, a Frosthammer/ Catapult/ Axethrower spam worked quite nicely...I'm now up to the final campaign, I think I'm starting to understand this game better now...it's pretty much the first RTS game I've ever played.
Also, I believe on Campaign 2 level 9 if you let the Vikings get very close to your base, frosthamr (I think that's his name...) brings a ton of Viking units to help you out, which makes the battle a lot easier...

I read the review and thought it looked pretty good, but I had no idea. This game is GREAT.

@ grenworthshero: I read the review and thought it looked pretty good, but I had no idea. This game is repetitive. Throughout the entire viking campaign i had lots of fun but once i moved into the aztec campaign the fun factor slowly went down. This happen to anyone else????
59. will.dsi
04 Jul 2009, 14:15 BST
I found this game repetitive and it does get boring very quick.
But there is no denying that this is a good game.
there has been allot worse WiiWare Games.
60. linrek-1
05 Jul 2009, 12:22 BST
I agree 2 very repetitive and the multiplayer mode does not have enough tactics just an endless building until one side falls over....
at first glance it seems like a 9/10 but now maybe a 6/10
61. linrek-1
05 Jul 2009, 12:23 BST
and btw the japanese telekenetics guys seems too strong or is it just me?

This is an awesome game! I've just completed the Aztec campaign and am about to start with the Chinese. We played multiplayer yesterday and it was crazy... our battle lasted over 40 minutes!
