There's a lot of stuff going on and the chaos and multi-tasking make me enthusiastic, just the way a good game in this genre should do. It starts off pretty easy, but it doesn't take long before I realise that this isn't going to be a walk in the park.
Further more, the constant scrolling contributes to the (good) feeling of being really, really busy. Even though the overview can sometimes be a problem it plays solid most of the time, and you will never get annoyed. Playing in 2D like this feels like a good and fresh approach and the game itself has a lot to say in the never-ending debate of whether or not real time strategy games can be played on consoles. You control your armies by pointing and clicking with the Wiimote and scroll your way through the horizontal levels by pointing at the edges of the screen (or you can use the D-pad for a quick transportation). You can also construct heavier units like catapults or golems and simpler constructions like defence towers in wood or lethal Buddha statues.
Just make sure you got enough mana, and that the spell is just not pearls for swine. If you activate Rage they will storm on i a comical cloud of dust, and it's also important to heal your troops. Usually your mission consists of sabotaging your enemies base, and the challenging part is to compose a well-balanced troop and to find the time to aid your attacking guys by throwing spells. The setup is quite original for a real-time strategy game Swords & Soldiers is side scrolling, in 2D and as soon you have trained a unit it will march by itself from your HQ in the left of the level to the right, attacking everything in its way (apart from the aforementioned gold-digger, who only walks between gold mines and your base). The price tag reads 1000 Wii Points, but that's not much to pay for the game's three campaigns, where you get to play as Vikings, Aztec and Chinese. Quite the contrary Swords & Soldiers is anything but exasperating and a very well-made strategy game for Nintendo's online shopping channel and Wiiware. I loooooove gold! Sure, it doesn't take long before you get tired of the chubby, gold-digging Viking lady's Aretha Franklin way of stating that she loves the metal in question, but luckily you won't get tired of the game she is walking about in.
