Swords & Soldiers 3D

Swords & Soldiers 3D is a side-scrolling real-time strategy game originally released on WiiWare developed by Romino Games (with the title Swords & Soldiers) and has been ported to other platforms. This page will be about the 3DS port that was handled by CIRCLE Entertainment.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) Because the action takes place on the top screen, the control takes place on the touch screen. This is a problem because when you want to pick a command, you have to look at the bottom screen and then look at the top screen to select where you want to use that command. By the time you done so, your units may not have survived or moved somewhere else on the map.
 * 2) The frame rate is awful which causes a delay to the controls which contribute to the problems mentioned in reason 1. Turning off the 3D makes the frame rate somewhat better but still unacceptable.
 * 3) No multiplayer like on all other versions.
 * 4) Dialogue boxes pop up on the top screen during gameplay and can really mess with what you want to do with commands.

Reception
CGR Undertow says that the 3DS port is "somewhere between disappointing and well, at times, almost unplayable". Nintendo life gave the game a 3 out of 10 expressing their disappointment on the port after reviewing the original WiiWare version and scoring it a 9 out of 10.
