Fans of DOTA (Defence of the Ancients) and LoL (League of Legends) will instantly be familiar with this game. You face your enemy at the opposite sides of several lanes. In between you have defence towers, the map evenly split between you. Using your heroes and constantly spawning autonomous minions, you must try to push through these lanes and destroy the enemy's "heart" at the opposite end of the lane. The enemy heroes and minions will be doing the same.

You control up to three heroes single handedly, giving them orders and using their skills wisely. Whenever you are busy controlling one hero, the AI takes over the other two. So you'll find yourself doing a lot of micro managing, jumping from one hero to the next. Why? Because the AI that controls your heroes for you is somehow incredibly, incredibly stupid. The problem doesnt seem as prevalent for the enemy team.

Another problem is the freemium model. The game is free and comes with 4 characters. You need to buy the other characts. Money also gives you in game power ups to use against the enemy. While (if you are a seasoned LoL / DOTA player) you don't really need those power ups and CAN defeat the enemy AI with preserverance, with the game intending to go multiplayer, it is worrysome what this "pay to win" concept will do. One hopes that these pay to win items cannot be used in multiplayer.

Additionally it is worth mentioning that there is no equips to purchase for your character.

The game shines and plays best on the tablet. And wih it being free, is certainly worth a try, especially for fans of this gameply.

Game Review

An angry bird clone, but with a twist, instead of flipping your birds to the other side, u will be in control of a princess where u will need to adjust your trajectory and kick your minions (yes,kick) to the other side to fight the monsters scattered around the stages. Different types of minions will be able to use different types of skill (ranging from fighters/archers/mages etc). In order to use those skill, u will need to tap of the screen whenever your minion is flying across the screen. Perfect timing and usage of the skill is required in order for you to defeat your enemies easily. Some stages will also have special bosses where u need to hit their weakness in a specific place in order for u to defeat them. Your minions will also be able to equip different types of weapon where each weapon is unique and have their own types of skill. A rather enjoyable game with funny cartoon graphics and tight controls. The game is also available fully in English

At first glance, Swords and Soldiers looks like a kids game, and after you play the first few missions, you’ll probably still be thinking as much. However, the more you delve into the game, the less you think like this. This is a game you can boot up to play for a couple of minutes, but I played it for 2 hours solid and that’s the best thing about it. You can get hopelessly lost in challenge modes or the campaign, despite it having one of the most preposterous stories, another reason why people may think that this might be kids game.

Ah i see, forced ratings and advertising.

Oh well, back to Wesnoth, Wesnoth is actually a ported PC game to both Android and the Apple system. It has insane depth and strategy, and makes games like GLWG childish and more attrition based in comparison. Wesnoth has an insane amount of unit types due to several factions, and each faction has several types of units. And i mean really distinct units, not mirror units with different graphics.

Terrain plays an important role in your strategy, like Elves are harder to hit in the forests while Cavalry get bonuses in the plains.

Your units can level up as they kill enemy units as well, and when they do they even have specific jobs that they can specialise in, each giving new abilities and attack strengths.

It has a great skirmish mode, exceptional AI, multiplayer, and wonderful campaign mode that will keep you entertained for days. The only con i can think of is the text can be a little small and hard to see on the handphone device, though it has no such issues on tablets.

In a nutshell :

SEVERAL FACTIONS

Each Faction has several DISTINCT units. NO MIRROR UNITS.

Each unit can level up, and have different job trees for u to choose and specialise.

Terrain plays an important strategic role and can win/lose you the game

Great AI

Great skirmish mode

Multiplayer

Great campaign with good storyline and script writing

A MUST HAVE FOR ALL turn based strategy fans.

Do yourself a favour and get this game. A wonderfully underrated strategy game
