Experience again the nifty war strategy game that defined the childhood of many players in the golden age of gaming. The game was originally developed by Hungarian StormRegion and published by Fishtank Interactive in 2001. Nearly 18 years later, Kite Games, in cooperation with the original developers and some enthusiastic fans, redesigned the game in high resolution and reignited the original S.W.I.N.E. warfare feeling. In this unique, real-time strategy game, the player chooses to lead to victory either the brutal pigs or the peace-loving rabbits.

About S.W.I.N.E.
This funny strategy war game, which was first released in 2001, allows you to fight leading the aggressive pigs or the peace-loving rabbits to victory in several battles. As most strategy games, S.W.I.N.E. focuses on the strategic aspect of the battles. You don’t have to construct buildings or collect resources. Instead, the player needs to capitalize on the strategy points and use them to expand and develop their army.

18 years later, we can relive the iconic slogans and the legendary fights. The remastered version of the game brings a new appearance and new content as well. Camera movements were modified (extended zoom range) and a more detailed battlefield was developed. Units also received a better texture and the vehicles’ undercarriages also move.

The official online multi-player mode will become available again, and you can also enjoy the LAN parties soon.

BREAKING NEWS!
A military coup was carried out in the Republic of the Pigs! Does this mean the end of the republic? On July 26, General Iron Tusk took over the country with a military coup and after eradicating the remaining republican pig forces, he turned his attention to the neighboring Carrotland...

WAR!
On August 3, the National Pig Army crossed the border with Carrotland without any prior warning and launched a brutal and devastating military campaign against the rabbits. In less than two weeks, the pigs burned the whole country to the ground. The capital is under siege at the moment. The rabbit army has lost 90% of the soldiers under the great pressure. Cities and villages were demolished. The unrelenting defense of the small army wasn’t enough to deter the pig hoards.

JOIN!
The government and the staff made the following decision in their despair: as Iron Tusk’s war machine cannot be defeated with a frontal attack, they need to resort to deception. The remaining forces need to be transformed into a powerful team that is able to get behind enemy lines without great losses and cut off the army from all possible supply routes and military buildings. Now they need to find a young and talented commander who can implement this plan.

Not sure who asked for this. Hopefully it's fun but it's certainly not some legendary title I'd expect demand for a la Starcraft or Warcraft 3 remaster. I like games people don't ask for these days myself, like Warhammer: Dark Omen, I'd totally like a remaster of that and its prequel, but not completely faithful, not without changes like larger maps, more involving strategies and ditching the button mashing bonus (only on console maybe, not sure), but everything else was great.
