Two Tribes and Ronimo Games have announced that Swords & Soldiers is out now on Nintendo Switch and Swords and Soldiers 2 Shawarmageddon on March 1, 2019.
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. 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.
TSA writes: "The first Swords & Soldiers game was one of those pleasant surprises I found lurking in the Wii Shop Channel. I’ve always been a sucker for an RTS, and while a side-scrolling RTS sounded pretty odd, the game’s colourful art immediately drew me in. That might not have lasted that long if not for the fact that there turned out to be bags of entertainment in sending your horned helmet-toting Vikings to trundle across the screen fetching things and killing other things. Swords & Soldiers 2 doubles down on the original’s style, but sets out to improve on every facet it possibly can."
Jacob St-Amour from Link-Cable Writes: "Ronimo Games have crafted a series of side-scrolling strategy games like no other with their Swords & Soldiers franchise. From the original title on the Wii and its sequel on the Wii U, both games were as hilarious as they were engaging by offering a rigorous campaign and even more challenging multiplayer and now, with Swords & Soldiers II: Shawarmageddon, only adds to the chaotic fun to an already terrific experience. After spending countless hours playing through its engaging campaign and even more through online matches, it is safe to say that the enhancements made in Swords & Soldiers II: Shawarmageddon deliver one of the most robust and intriguing strategy experiences made available."
