If you've been paying close attention to Swords & Soldiers you should know that the game is one of the few WiiWare titles to feature achievements, for those hardcore players who like to do some extra challenges.
A while back, Ronimo Games announced that if you collected all 25 achievements, a secret code would appear on the achievements list. The first three people that would send this code to Ronimo Games would get a special Swords & Soldiers goodie bag, of which the contents are still a mystery.
The game's been out for over five days now, so logically a few people have already achieved this impressive feat. Ronimo Games has announced that not just the first three, but the first four people will be getting a prize - The third and fourth players submitted their codes so quickly after each other that they thought it would be a bit disappointing not to give the fourth one a goodie bag as well.
Naturally, they have also revealed the winners so that people can praise their amazing gaming skills for generations to come. One of the names seems strangely familiar, who could it be:
- 1. Henryk Huhn, Germany
- 2. Jesse Hartog, Netherlands
- 3. Marcel van Duyn, Netherlands
- 4. Denis Tessier, France
If you're still a few achievements a way and are sad you didn't make it in time don't be too worried - Every month, Ronimo Games will pick a bunch of random people to get a goodie bag as well. You'll need a bit more luck, but you've still got a chance!
North American players don't have to worry either - Naturally, it would be unfair if you couldn't win a prize just because you get the game later. Once the game is out in North America, the first 3 North American players to submit their code will win a prize as well.

Sweet. I gotta get this game on the day it releases, then, so I can aim for the prize!
Nice job, Marcel. Be sure to divulge details on this mysterious "goodie bag". Heh.
Every month, huh? For how long?
Haha! Nice work Drake!
That sounds cool, but it'll probably push me to finish it as quick as I can, and I don't like that...
Wow, congrats man!
Ah, didn't even try it, having too much fun with the game as is, I should finish the Chinese campaign tonight. I will keep a very watchful eye on Romino's next games. Congrats to the four winners.
PS: Make sure you watch the game credits, it has a ton of fun "Thank Yous" down there.
Nicely done! So what's in that goodie bag then ;D?
@ Shiryu: Indeed, any game with B.A. Baracus under Special Thanks is awesome
@ Mik: I'll tell you when I get it
Yay, a German won...maybe I should've downloaded it and have come on top instead of that guy. ^^
Alright Drake!
None of the names are familiar to me...
Go go Dutchies!
Nice going Drake. I can't wait to go for it when it comes out here. At the least someone on N-L has to win it for that contest too!
You're a machine Drake!
At least a reason to get achievements (I've never understood the point of them; bragging rights I don't really need, but free swag is always nice!).
Very cool. Maybe once they release this game here sigh, I'll give it a shot myself.
Nice job Drake. You're must be one of the best gamers in the Netherlands to get that.By the way, are you gonna say the goodies here or in another topic?
How can I get these Achivements?
I tried 2-3 but theres only 1 that i got(I just tried the Aztecs level 8 theres an achivement that says don't use that rock) i did it and got no achivement.
Is it possible that you have to get them on 1.run=before you complete the level on in a other way?(I allready completed the Vikings Campaigne on level 10 but no achivement
wow this fast i was hoping the achievements would be a little harder but good job to the winners maybe they are that good
Congrats Drake on winning your goodie bag! When you get it tell us whats inside!
@2: You won't have to finish it quick, they will start picking at random.
Right on Drake! Rep that NL L337N355
Nice, Marcel! It would be insane if these were the Mega Man 9 challenges (not that I've actually played the game.)
WOW, one of the four best in all EU, Congratulations Drake!
Five days?
Dudes it's been lovely outside all weekend, go get some air, visit friends.
Way to go Drake! You must have worked really hard to get those achievments! I really hope you enjoy that goodie bag because you definitely earned it!
@18. killer6370
Are u sure u have your gamespeed on normal or higher. Cause u dont get achievements on gamespeed slow. Let me know if it helps.
Good job marcel!
Thanks @ gijs thats the problem finally i can get achievements
Wow,congratulations Drake!
Wow Drake ur a beast, how long did it take u to get it??? I cant wait till it comes in NA
3. Marcel van Duyn, Netherlands
I should've seen this one coming. I mean, just look at Drake's steam records!
@Drake- Wow, I don't know what's more impressive. That you got one of the goodie bags, or that if you would have sent the code 5 minutes later, you wouldn't have recieved it. Talk about a close call... This is just more incentive to get the game as soon as possible. Can't wait to get it!
