Ronimo on the Swords & Soldiers II Pricing

Ronimo Games has discussed the pricing for upcoming Wii U eShop exclusive, Swords & Soldiers II.

The game, coming exclusively to Nintendo's home console, will be available to download from 21st May at a price of $19.99 / €18.99 / £16.99 - a fair bit higher than the standard crop of eShop titles. However Ronimo feels that the various different features, additions and the fact that the title is tailored to the Wii U setup justifies the reasoning behind the pricing scheme.

Swords & Soldiers II is a self-funded passion project, created with a lot of care and craftsmanship in over 3 years of development. The whole game has been built from the ground up to support the new and amazing hand animated art style and kickass new gameplay features, such as:

• Two completely new factions and one upgraded classic faction, adding lots of new units, spells and buildings.
• the Custom Army feature, allowing players to build their own army out of over 45 elements.
• Multiplayer mode where each player has their own screen, fully utilizing the Wii U GamePad.
• Epic and ridiculous narrated storyline with sidequests and minigames and over 40 challenging bonus objectives to complete.
• There should be room for bigger, better and higher quality indie games. We feel Swords & Soldiers II is such a game and the price is a reflection of that.
