    With all the extra options available, this is a great title for RTS fans, and castle defense fans as well. It has style, substance, and it had me smiling as soon as I turned it on.

    What we like about Swords & Soldiers is how well implemented its control scheme is. [Issue#199, p.103]

    We really felt the lack of a "tower defense" for PlayStation 3, and Swords & Soldiers provides an excellent fix for this gap. Sold at a very affordable price, the game offers three involving, rich and thick single player campaigns, that will keep us busy for a long time, together with an nice multiplayer mode, both locally or online.

    Indeed, with its comic visuals and light-hearted touches at every step, Swords And Soldiers wants to be this year's Plants vs. Zombies, and damn near succeeds.

    In a lot of ways, Swords & Soldiers is like any other satisfying RTS game... just bite-sized.

It DOES feel a little contrived at times, with the formula not changing very much from mission to mission (Get new power. Use it to beat this mission. Cue cutscene). However, the action doesn't ever really feel like it stagnates, and missions can be completed quickly allowing it to be digested in bite-sized chunks, also making it a great mobile choice. It's an interesting spin on the RTS genre, with the 2D perspective.… Expand
