In the 14th century a quarrel over English succession to the French throne escalated into what history would call the Hundred Years' War. This ongoing war had exhausted the standing armies of both sides and there was a growing dependence on mercenary soldiers. An innovative action style enables you to command whole units and defeat countless numbers of soldiers with one cleverly chosen attack command. Outwit your opponents and overwhelm them with dominating force to be the last one standing when the dust settles on one of history's greatest conflicts.

 Rating:  - Great way to take up time!I first heard of this game through the demo on the PSN and enjoyed it. I purchased it, trusting that being from KOEI, whos games I have played before that it would be a fun way to take up time. The general idea behind game play is much like the Dynasty Warriors series, however shifting from one sole character to your character controlling a squad of troops of your choice. It is a nice feature to be able to switch from different kinds of squads on the fly (that is if they are with in ... Read More Rating:  - Repetitive? Yes. However, if you like strategy games, you'll want to play thisFrom a critic point of view, this game would get 5 out of 10 stars. The game is very repetitive, if you played 1 week, the rest of the game is about the same. But hey, I'm not a critic, yes, it's repetitive, but playing something I love again and again is perfectly fine. It feels great to be in control of an army, the graphics are decent, sound is decent, nothing spetacular, but if you like war games, you have to play it. This is defenitely not for everyone, probably ...

Koei is famous for games that take liberties with historical events (see also the Dynasty Warriors and Kessen games), and now they've turned their attention to the Hundred Years War. Despite the questionable accuracy of the history involved, Bladestorm is nonetheless a fun, solid game that introduces a lot of unique game mechanics different than any of Koei's other games. As indicated by the name, Bladestorm takes place during ... Read More Rating:  - Competent but in Need of ImprovementThe game is, at its core, an able action-tactics piece set in a little-used (for games, anyway) historical period that nicely compliments the playstyle. The 'sensation' of combat in the Hundred Years' War--if not always the details--is spot on, and it gives a very good sense of leading troops of men into pitched melees, constantly ordering different types of soldiers to execute tactical maneuvers to counter the enemy's own. An example of this in play would be charging into battle at the ... Read More |
