De Blob creator doing WiiWare game

By Robert Purchese Published 18 August, 2008

It's a side-scrolling cartoon RTS.

Original PC de Blob creator Ronimo Games has plans to release a new WiiWare game before the end of the year.

Titled Swords & Soldiers, it's a side-scrolling RTS that reminds us a bit of Asterix - given the cartoon-style presentation and wacky helmets on display. The idea is that three factions battle to gain the power of the gods.

The game has single-player and split-screen multiplayer, and a host of other modes besides.

It's due out in Q4. No other details have been released, but we're interested nonetheless.

Head over to our Swords & Soldiers gallery for the first shots.

    Looks good. I can't help instantly thinking about Castle Crashers though when I see those screenshots.

    Finally maybe another decent Wiiware game!

    Lost Winds is about the only good thing we've had so far, and I wasn't taken massively with it. WW is capable of great new, 16/32 bit style-games. Here's hoping!
