Sharpen your weapons: "Swords & Soldiers" is coming!

Ronimo Games announces their studio and the first competitive strategy game for Wii Ware: Swords & Soldiers.

UTRECHT, THE NETHERLANDS – August 15, 2008 – The developers of the original version of "de Blob" announce their new game studio Ronimo Games and their first title: Swords & Soldiers.

Ronimo Games is founded by seven developers in Utrecht, the Netherlands. As students the team was responsible for the original pc game "de Blob". Being an innovative and fun game, "de Blob" became popular on the internet and was eventually picked up by THQ. The publisher bought the IP and will soon release the new version of "de Blob" for Nintendo Wii.
Fabian Akker, one of the co-founders: "de Blob was the eye opener for us, that we can make cool games and function as a good team. The game definitely gave us the opportunity to start our own company".

The team is developing a new game for Wii Ware: Swords & Soldiers. Swords & Soldiers is a sidescrolling real time strategy game, in which three distinct factions battle for the powers of the gods. The game will feature a single player campaign and a competitive splitscreen multiplayer mode as well as several other game modes. Three screenshots are included with this press release.
Akker: "We always dreamed of designing an RTS and when Wii Ware came out we immediately figured that this was our chance."

Swords & Soldiers will be the first competitive strategy game on Wii Ware and is scheduled for European, Australian and American release in Q4 2008.

Of curse, I'm trying to get enough to buy "the world ends with you".

Don't buy it. Rent it instead. You can easily beat it in a week. It's amazing but short.

Off topic: Buy TWEWY. It's actually a pretty lengthy game if you take your time and smell the roses. I finished it in 35 hours my first time. Also, there's a ton of secrets and hidden story related things to gain on your second playthrough and ultimately a secret ending to unlock.

On topic: I wonder how many unit types there will be and if they have any skills. If it's deep enough, multiplayer would be really great.

I must agree with TWEWY being a great game, but how does 35 hours constitute as lengthy?
