As Real Time Strategy games go, there are lots of options available today. There are quite a few of these fun games on the new Wii U system. Today we are looking at one such game that takes the familiar real time gaming style and adds a 2D art direction. This art direction also leaks out into a 2D way of playing a classic 3D game style. Is that enough Ds for you?
Swords and Soldiers 2 picks up where the first leaves off, with an army of unique characters going after another army of unique characters who move toward your opponent until either the enemy loses or you do. The game play sounds simple, but as your characters start to pile up and strategy start to rear its head in the from of different units with different abilities (such as flight) the game starts to shine.
The player can also use magic to help their army win, and by doing so you get a macro effect of magic- IE you directly effect the battle instead of creating a soldier who will do your dirty work.
Swords and Soldiers 2 is available for Nintendo Wii U and retails for $19.99. Available from the eShop.
