Swords & Soldiers HD
SCORE: 63
Swords & Soldiers HD is a 2D side scrolling RTS video game on the Wii
U. Think of Castlestorm without the castles. Swords & Soldiers HD adds
in resource collection in the form of gold. Certain people in your army
will go to the gold mines and collect the gold.
The gold in Swords & Soldiers HD is used to purchase upgrades, troops,
and towers. There is also magic spells in Swords & Soldiers HD that the
player can use to help their troops and decimate the enemy troops. There
are three main groups in Swords & Soldiers HD. They are the Viking,
Aztecs, and Chinese.
Swords & Soldiers HD contains all kinds of off the cuff humor. Some of
it may make little to no sense. Don't worry if you do not always get the
quirky humor in this Wii U download only video game. Different
characters have different sound effects.
There is plenty of death in Swords & Soldiers HD. Certain troops can
raise the dead and have them fight for your side. There is also a puppet
master spell that can turn any troop to your side. These require a fair
amount of mana, and take time to recharge.
The Chinese use buddah looking status as towers. The Aztecs use statues
that may have a religious context. I am not sure one way or the other on
the Aztecs. The Vikings call upon thor to send lightning down to attack
their enemies. A fair amount of religious content is found within this
downloadable only home console video game.
Off screen TV play, and multiplayer are a part of Swords & Soldiers HD.
As well as Skirmish mode which can add to the replay value. Swords &
Soldiers HD can be fun for a short time. Once you learn how to build
your resources, defenses, and send out troops Swords & Soldiers HD can
become repetitive. Thankfully there are different levels here and there
to keep players honest.
