• Summary: Bladestorm heralds a break from the tradition of basing games on Japanese and Chinese history by being set within the Hundred Years' War. This famous European conflict between the English and French provides the setting in which hundreds upon hundreds of soldiers clash on the battlefield. If you thought the massively populated battles in the Dynasty Warriors games were huge, think again. [KOEI] Expand

  1. The mixture of real-time action and strategy is a joy to play, and a nice departure from what is fast becoming a stale play mechanic.
  2. Bladestorm does provide and incredibly well structured action-strategy game, and it juggles depth and accessibility with panache.
  3. With all these hiccups, I'm shocked this war lasted one year, let alone 100. [Dec 2007, p.109]

    This game is great, I can't get over it, I love every part of it, but it froze on me twice, annoying but cool game.

    This game is really fun and addicting. There are though many reasons why critics hate this game for example: 1) Many critics don't even know how to play the game 2) The minimap is too small 3) Occassional but rare freezing There is also the fact that many people can't even play strategy whatsoever. Its a great blend of strategy and action. Expand
