A menu bar across the top of the screen displays which units are available. The vikings have an interesting set of women who mine their gold-rather endowed and seem happy to carry tons of gold home to their men! (Who WOULDNT want one of them?) But, I digress. All of the gold collectors in the game are women characters. You mine/collect gold, which can be used to create a variety of different units depending on your faction. The game’s controls and interface are incredibly easy and intuitive. In fact, even though the game is rated for 10+, some of the humor may be lost unless you are an elder geek. How can you go wrong with a game that thanks zombies!?! You can’t. Elder geeks may especially enjoy the end credits where such things as Raiders of the Lost Ark and zombies are thanked and credited. The dialog between the warring factions is actually quite funny, with humor present throughout the game, right up until the end credits. You play as one of three factions: Viking, Aztec or the Chinese. The very entertaining side-scrolling, real time strategy game is a bargain of a download at 1000 Wii points (currently right around $10 USD). The game could also have been titled Violence and Vegetables although I doubt it would be downloaded as much. Swords & Soldiers can be found only be found on WiiWare. However, if the editors at Elder-Geek ever ask me to write or review again, I be fully qualified to write an editorial and title it “Gaming With a 12-Week Old Infant in Your Home: Dont Get Your Hopes Up.” However, after many sessions, I can claim success! First off, it did not take me weeks to finish the game because of its super long play. I attempted to review it without finishing the game, but it felt kind of dirty and wrong.
After many days of playing, I finally feel that I am in a position to accurately review Swords & Soldiers by Ronimo Games (makers of De Blob).
