And what is the real goal of Swords & Soldiers? Most of the time, you must eliminate all your enemies and if not, your chief will tell you what to do.  The control is relatively easy and if you are afraid you can read the tutorial which explains everything, even during the game if you need a new function. So you use almost all of the buttons on your controller even the analog and Left and Right buttons.

I admit that during the fighting you can panic and push the wrong buttons but no matter,  you have time to repair your fault. And If I can use it, everyone can.

What you need to understand in the game is: no money no honey , here more precisely money is gold  which you need to buy everything , your soldiers, upgrades, structures. This gold is brought by the women ( for vikings and Aztecs so I advise every feminist playing it ). To use your upgrades and power you need mana; and this regenerates with time. Without mana you can use only your own physical strength (bad news for the Aztec and the Chinese).

The music is perfect to the game, no too loud, during the presentation and during the tutorial you have nothing so you can concentrate completely on the game. You also have from time to time some sounds effects which make you smile.

Swords & Soldiers is really a big game, youll have fun playing it alone and even more if you have the possibility to play with a friend. Have you been born with a soldier’s soul, orhave a warrior is sleeping awaiting to be awakened? Buy this game and let your strength and power be your master.

Note: There are obvious some caricatures of different peoples, races and their cultures in the game. GDN does not believe that the game makers did this maliciously and while those that are extremely sensitive about the various cultures portrayed in the game may be offended, it is unwarranted. Lighten up and enjoy the game.

 Our Rating for Swords and Soldiers Review (PS3)
8.0
Replay
you will play until you finish all campaigns in the hardest difficulty and find the best strategy to destroy all your enemies faster.
8.0
Graphics
Funny caricatured characters which make you smile during all the game . Nice environments and animations as well.
8.0
Sound
nothing to say except really successful sounds and music. Very well done.
8.0
Gameplay
Easy to control and understand, so you can use all your concentration to determine the best strategy to kill everybody.
6.0
Multiplayer
As in every multiplayer mode, you love the side to play with your friends but here a big one negative point not the same strong between the people. Vikings in particular seem overpowered.
7.5
Overall
An original fight-strategy game, where you can replay the Vikings conquest though the whole world in a nicely presented game visually and audibly. Just some minor game balance issues in multiplayer.
