A strategy game that anyone can get into and enjoy, Swords & Soldiers is the best WiiWare game of the year so far.

90 - Nintendo Life

A delightfully light-hearted take on the strategy genre.

87 - IGN

There is nothing else like this on WiiWare, and the production values are much higher than most other games on the service. Strategy fans should find their fix here – just don't expect as deep an experience as some of the better-known real-time strategy games on PC.

85 - Vandal Online

There is very few to say against this fantastic strategy game which would undoubtedly please genre fans.

85 - Meristation

One of the best Wii Ware games we've tried so far, that's basically everything that we can say about Swords and Soldiers. If you're looking for a funny, strange and interesting Real Time Strategy game, don't think it twice, just go and buy it. If you don't, give it a try, it's a very good game despite not having an online feature. Still, it's worth to play against any friend. You won't regret it.

Swords and Soldiers is an engaging, goofy romp that takes out the complexity of other real-time strategy games but leaves in all the fun.

80 - Eurogamer

As with PopCap's best titles, Swords and Soldiers reworks the weary conventions of its tradition to compelling effect. Its deliberately restricted perspective is unlikely to sate the appetites of hardcore RTS fans, but the move to 2D acts as a concentration of the genre's charms, not a dilution, and is perfectly suited to WiiWare.

Keep an eye on Ronimo Games. Without any notice they released an RTS game with a new and fresh perspective. This approach does have it disadvantages in the form of difficult camera positions, but in the end Swords & Soldiers is all about have a blast. With special thanks to the original gameplay, good graphics and great humour.

80 - Edge Magazine

Far more than just a quirky and adept multiplayer romp, then, Swords & Soldiers has found a deeply satisfying sweet-spot where chaos and control are almost perfectly balanced, and the result is a game that towers above everything else WiiWare currently has to offer.

80 - Cubed3

It successfully compresses the real-time strategy formula into a two-dimensional, side-scrolling game without losing so much strategic depth that it becomes a simple action game.

One of the best looking WiiWare games is also one of the most accessible real-time strategies ever.

I was gonna buy it today, but I only have 700 points on my account and sadly you can't buy just 300 points.  Looking right now actually for something else to buy with Wii Points then I will load up with 20 and get two games.
