Swords and Soldiers 2 Shawarmageddon

Sword and soldiers 2 Shawarmageddon does a great job of pulling together all of the things that made the original great while adding in new elements. Having just played through the first game, the sequel added enough changes that it never felt repetitive, solidifying itself as its own game. Players who enjoyed Swords and Soldiers should certainly give the second a try.

Despite an obvious need to mix things up and curate a more vibrant online audience, Sword and Soldiers 2: Shwarmageddon has plenty that is good about it. The fundamental game mode is solid and Romio Games has clearly learned a great deal from their previous console experience. The core game is frantic without ever feeling overwhelming while controls and unit AI is satisfying in its simplicity.

The real-time strategy genre is one that doesn’t have very much representation on the Switch eShop now, but Swords and Soldiers II shows how it can be done well on the platform. Deep, but not confusing gameplay, great multiplayer, plenty of challenge, and a silly premise make this one an easy recommendation for anybody that’s looking for more of a thinking man’s game for their Switch.
