    While not offering more than sharper and beautiful visuals, Swords & Soldiers formula is quite attractive, especially for those who are not particular fans of strategy games with isometric view.

    Swords & Soldiers requires no introduction, this real-time strategy title is now reaching the Wii U and brings along some very appreciated GamePad controls. Sadly, the absence of an online multiplayer mode is unexplainable and a rather dull rhythm settles in after playing for longer time periods, making this an acceptable but far from essential title.

    Swords & Soldiers is one of those games that does exactly what it sets out to do and nothing more. The type of game that you can't beSwords & Soldiers is one of those games that does exactly what it sets out to do and nothing more. The type of game that you can't be disappointed in, but at the same time doesn't give that little bit extra. This game is essentially a stripped-down CastleStorm, which is justified by its very low price tag. Some of the challenges are quite hard, and the different modes give it a little more replay-ability, which is nice. The dialogue is quite humorous, too. Ultimately, Swords & Soldiers is a great cheap title to pick up if you're bored, especially if you're a fan of the tower-defense genre.… Full Review »
