Topic: Dark Lord or Swords & Soldiers?

I would get both but I must do myself a favor and get The After Years as well with my 2000 points card. BIG Final Fantasy IV fan here.

So, which one is better in your opinion, My Life As A Dark Lord or Swords & Soldiers, and why?

I don't have Dark Lord, but Swords & Soldiers is awesome. It takes a while to get a feel of how things work, but it really pays off in the end.

I haven't played either of them, but I would get swords and soldiers.

I enjoyed Swords & Soldiers much more than Dark Lord (which I haven't finished yet, but I'm pretty close). S&S isn't as deep as Dark Lord is, but it's just so much more fun, and it has more content with it's multiplayer (split screen only if you didn't know) and skirmish mode. There are achievements as well as some other game modes rewarded to you after completing certain campaigns and they're pretty fun (and difficult) as well.

S&S
Pros:
Funny dialogue
Skirmish mode
Easier to understand
Varying and balanced civilizations
Fun unlockables
Cons:
Somewhat short (all 3 campaigns can run you about 10 hours, but that's assuming you win every match the first time)

Dark Lord
Pros:
Incredibly deep
Great design
Interesting spin on Tower Defense
Cons:
Story is just meh
It's mostly just testing out a set up and trying a different one once it fails (which will happen a lot)

Both are great games. Choosing between the both is a really tough choice. If at all possible, get both at one point or another but if you're wondering which to get first, get S&S since FFCC: Darklord is a deeper experience.

im havin a blast with dark lord. But its essentially a tower defence game, S&S more of an RTS. if you dig tower defenses get dark lord.

Get Swords and Soldiers!!

Get dark lord

Swords and Soldiers. Its about to fall off the chart in NA, and if you want more from Romino then you should totaly buy. Plus, with your next card you can get Darklord as well as additional DLC.

Swords & Soldiers has more content and variety than Darklord with all DLC, so Swords & Soldiers is the better game.

I have both and FFCC:MLAAD is deeper but S&S is funnier and more addicting so:
GET S&S!

Hey thanks for all the replies guys (and hello SKTTR, my old friend)! I decided on Swords & Soldiers and played about forty minutes into it. I'm on level 10 of the Viking campaign now. Pretty fun stuff. ^_

Next points card I'll be getting My Life As A Dark Lord and all four DLC's for Final Fantasy IV: The After Years... Unless something really awesome comes out and throws this plan off course.

Nice decision. You couldn't go wrong with either one, really! They're both must-haves if you ask me.

Darklord by a landslide,but i have Swords & Soilders and it's great too.I'd download both they are awesome games..
