    One of Wiiware's strongest pick-up-and-play titles, with a lengthy story mode, added game types, and even achievements, this ten-dollar download is hard to beat.

    If Ronimo Games' first game on WiiWare has a con, it's its short duration. Campaigns are like that and can only entertain the player for a few hours. Fortunately, there is the multiplayer, giving a bit more durability to the game. Aside from that, Swords & Soldiers is a great way to obtain great amounts of quick fun on Wii.
  3. Multiplayer.it

    Although not very deep and sometimes inclined to chaotic action, Swords and Soldiers is an original and ironical take on the RTS genre. A little short, but still one of the funniest strategic game ever released specifically on console.
  4. Edge Magazine

    Far more than just a quirky and adept multiplayer romp, then, Swords & Soldiers has found a deeply satisfying sweet-spot where chaos and control are almost perfectly balanced, and the result is a game that towers above everything else WiiWare currently has to offer.
  5. DarkZero

    Ronimo Games has created a light hearted take on the RTS genre. Swords & Soldiers has enabled a gateway for people who don’t normally venture into the real time strategy genre, to be able to pick up their Wii remote and play.
  6. Destructoid
    80
    Swords & Soldiers is a cute game with a lot of moments that are really, really fun. It can get pretty intense in later campaign levels and it's satisfying to complete them.
  7. Metro GameCentral
    70
    One of the best looking WiiWare games is also one of the most accessible real-time strategies ever.

TheThis is one of the best WiiWare games available and one of the best console RTS games ever created. It is simple, yet hard to master. The design is terrfic and offers up a lot of strategy and depth even though it is only 2-D. The 3 factions are very different but also very balanced. The controls are perfect on the Wii system. The graphics are fresh and creative. If you love strategy games, you'll love this game. It is just a fun game that you can pick up and play at any time.… Expand

    Swords and Soldiers (WiiWare, $10) - Brief Review. (B+)

    For a inexpensive, fun action game in a fun and silly package, look no further. In a    Swords and Soldiers (WiiWare, $10) - Brief Review. (B+)

    For a inexpensive, fun action game in a fun and silly package, look no further. In a game that can oddly be described as a 2D Side Scrolling Real Time Strategy Game - S&S packs in some fun for a low cost. With the three factions you get plenty of gameplay, plus challenge modes and achievements. If you have younguns, they may like the Versus modes, but for me it was a little too clickfesty - but I didn't play much with this mode. Here's the IGN review, check it out. I give it a solid B+.
