The original game has snuck onto the eShop to whet fans’ appetites for the impending sequel, Swords & Soldiers 2: Shawarmageddon, which launches on Switch on 1 March. Check out the trailer below to see Swords & Soldiers in action on Ninty’s hybrid console, including at look at the game’s rather innovative take on split-screen multiplayer.

Players can go head-to-head against each other in what Ronimo is describing as an “improved” version of the game’s local multiplayer, with two people able to share one touch screen for matches.

Swords & Soldiers features four factions, a single-player campaign, mini-games and local multiplayer. It also comes with Super Saucy Sausage Fest DLC.

In celebration of the game’s arrival on Switch, it’s currently discounted to just €4.94 (or regional equivalent).
