Video Game Reviews of Bladestorm: The Hundred Years War

Customer Review: Great way to take up time!
Summary: 4 Stars

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 your area) from a swords man who is weak against horses to a spear man who is strong against mounted foes.

The story line does get a little repetitive but that is expected as how the gameplay works. There is a large amount of play time so it is worth the money if you can find it used. Fun for the people who enjoy action games but also like a little bit of strategy.

Description of Bladestorm: The Hundred Years War

When you consider Heavy Metal, you can imagine what a field of war was like in medieval times. Imagine a war that spanned a century! This is history. 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. Relive Medieval history- Outwit your opponents or overwhelm them with dominating force. The fate of two countries is yours to decide.
