Looks cool, can't wait to play it (hopefully soon)!
Looks awesome - definitely one of the WiiWare releases I'll get in 2009.
That looks excellent. I'm not too surprised, seeing as how it's made by the designers of the original De Blob.
Nice, this one is diferent from most PC strategy games, I'll give it a try when I can.
If I get some Wii points for Christmas, I'm saving them for this.
always thought this looks pretty good although just not sure how much depth it might have! dont think it has online does it? if it did it would be a good buy.
Hmmm... nice, as I expected.
Looks quite good, although I am disappointed that this particular title lacks online multiplayer support. Looking forward to playing it early next year.
I'm definitely getting this one.
Not a fan of strategy, so not sure on this. Looks alright though.
To me it looks alot like bowmaster, except without the bow, and perhaps a little more control of the armies.
this game could be very repetitive. i hope its good though. we need different genres to succeed on the wiiware.
I love RTS games.
Swords and Soldiers is at the top of my “most want” list for sure!
right next to Gradius Rebirth and Cave Story!
"Saucy"?
I almost completely forgot about this game, now I have 3 things on Wiiware wishlist, along with Gradius and Cave Story.
From quotes from Sun Tzu, Cicero, and Plato to a snow-zombie chieftain gleefully exclaiming "Ha! The dead fight for ME!!!" in three seconds?
Color me intrigued.

Looking good. Definitely a purchase for me next year.
Really Good News!
This game are like really cool!
Now THIS is the kind of thing WiiWare needs more of (quality, I mean)! It looks much better than 90% of WiiWare to date (fun wise, not just visuals). I add it to Cave Story to have a list of TWO upcoming games I want!
Wow this would be something else while high.
It seems more slow-paced than I thought it would be, but this is still one of my most anticipated Wiiware games.
Any word on price point? My guess is 1000-1500. Either way, it looks damn good.
Strategy game, nice, and gasp!! Something other than a puzzle game too! Though I had heard of this earlier. It will be nice to be able download something different from the usual for a change.
I'm pretty sure I'm getting this one. Now if we can get more games that have some depth and story to them and not so many puzzlers, it'd be great.
I really hope it's not 1500 though.

Don't worry, on S&S's site it says that they are aiming for 1000 points or less.
one of the few games I want from WiiWare.
This looks terribad.
Why are the adjectives like epic and legendary in parentheses? Seems like a bad sign.
