Description

Swords & Soldiers II Shawarmageddon is the PS4, Nintendo Switch and Steam re-release of the original action strategy game Swords & Soldiers II, which was first released for Nintendo WiiU.

The whole game has seen tweaks and improvements. New maps and achievements have been added and the entire campaign has received extensive gameplay tweaks and edits. Redbeard makes a return from the original, and meets up with Al'Yucaneet to follow a mysterious trail of missing sheep.

On top of all that, this re-release comes with the exciting addition of online multiplayer. Swords & Soldiers has always been conceived as multiplayer game that dishes out quick and satisfying strategic battles. And as such it has always played best without opportunity for screen cheats.

With Swords & Soldiers II Shawarmageddon, Ronimo Games has yet again pushed what is possible when it comes to blending action and strategy. Players will have to make hard decisions about spending their hard-earned resources on upgrades, more workers or new units.

History

Swords & Soldiers II was originally released for the Nintendo Wii U as a timed exclusive in 2015, after a development time of three years. It greatly expanded upon the original Swords & Soldiers by completely overhauling the art style, presenting a completely new campaign and adding over 30 new units and spells.
