Description game :
“Did we really need another game of the X genre?” A lot of reviewers seem to ask that question. Usually it’s a rhetorical one, and the implied answer is no. Personally, I like to give explanations that are a little more open. So, if someone was to ask me whether we needed another tower defense game, I would say that we absolutely do not…unless the game is fun to play, pretty, humorous, and not set in World War II. Speaking of such games, I was lucky enough to score a copy of Swords & Soldiers for PC, which I played from start to finish and am now ready to pass judgment and share my cynical pronouncements with anyone who will listen, which should be everyone.
Swords & Soldiers is a 2D side-scroller, which takes place in a world where Vikings wage war over a barbecue, Aztecs grow giant vegetables for a contest, and the Chinese are ruled by a child emperor who cares for nothing but toys. All of these complex relationships and motivations lead you on a journey across the finest moments of these civilizations, a path wrought in glory and triumph as well as the very depths of human tragedy and despair. Basically, you build soldiers and they go forward and hit things. The going forward part is done on a single path in most cases, although at times it forks, only to re-converge moments later.
Despite the obvious fact that the PC version was more of an afterthought than anything else, my enjoyment of the game was not ruined. I’d like some changes to the controls, sure, but whether they ever come or not I can honestly say that I had a lot of fun with this cute, humorous, and often challenging game. Being an indie title it is very reasonably priced, and I don’t have to think twice about recommending it. Whether you play on PC or consoles, whether you are a casual or a hardcore gamer, Swords & Soldiers, much like Plants vs. Zombies, is a game that everyone will love.
