"Swords & Soldiers 3D is just one of many titles CIRCLE Entertainment plans to put out in 2013. Here's a batch of screenshots!"

At first glance the game gave me the feeling of an older side scrolling Warcraft game. After spending some time with it however, I have found that some things are not always as they seem."
TMG: E-shop games are kind of a weird partial frontier at the moment. The 3DS is stuck in a weird place where games should cost more (Luigi’s Mansion is well worth the $40 price of entry), but cell phone and iPad games draw immediate comparison. That line becomes even less clear with budget titles on the E-shop like Swords and Soldiers 3D. There’s a lot of content in the game, but it’s kind of a busted mess in more than a few ways.
"With Swords & Soldiers 3D, we don't need to make guesses as to what could've been. Beginning life as a WiiWare title, the original has since been developed for other platforms, with successive ports and remakes on PSN, PC and mobile platforms getting updates in the form of graphical boosts and the addition of online play. So with that level of market penetration and the exposure it received as an award-winning IP, it's not like a 3DS rendition was needed. Even so, this was an opportunity to extend portable play and friendly competition among friends, both of which the base game lends itself to. Or at least it should've been, in the hands of a capable team." -- Wiiloveit.com
