GN Version 5.0

Swords and Soldiers II is going to cost $20 and some people have been pretty angry about that decision. Ronimo has decided to step forward and explain how they arrived at that price point.

Swords & Soldiers II is a self-funded passion project, created with a lot of care and craftmanship 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.
