    It may not be the most refined of strategy games, but it's an entertaining, accessible and outstandingly polished example of its type. [July 2015, p.108]

    This game offers the same addictive strategy gameplay as its predecessor, but this time the graphics are a lot better and there is a story instead of missions. However, it is a disappointment to discover Ronimo did not include an online multiplayer.

    Swords and Soldiers II is an amusing and humourous strategy game that doesn't take itself too seriously as far as strategic planning is concerned. Local multiplayer is fun enough to entertain well beyond the lack of replay value of its single player campaign.

    Swords and Soldiers II is a direct commitment to the humor, the Vikings and strategy in a casual and fun game that may be a bit shallow.

    Whilst the game is fun in short doses, the lack of online multiplayer could leave players wanting more than the title can provide.

    If you’ve got a few hours to kill, its campaign provides great strategic opportunities. And if you’ve got a friend nearby, you could be skirmishing for a long time to come.

    Although there is a quality campaign to be enjoyed, it is little more than a way to unlock all the factions, units, abilities, and spells to be used in the skirmish modes, because the skirmishing is where Swords & Soldiers II really shines.

    Handholding aside, and beyond failing to offer something truly above and beyond its predecessor, the multiplayer offerings are superb, and Swords & Soldiers 2 is good, reliable fun. It won't likely be a game you'll remember a decade from now, but as a weekend buster, you could do far worse than this one.

    If only it lasted a little bit longer.

It does not disappoint. S&S 2 shakes up it's format to ensure fans of the original return feeling like they know nothing and providing them with plenty of challenge.
    The visuals are extremely well crafted and the games retains its silly sense of humour in a way that adds charm to this brilliant e-shop title.
