    These Koei games (the others being the Warriors franchises) cater to a specific audience. I rate this game about 7/10 as an overall game, however it gets a solid 10/10 for this tiny genre.

For that reason, I lean towards the higher end of the scores.… Full Review »

"Blade storm" is a breath of fresh air - gone is the button mashing. Instead of being a super warrior you need your troops to win combats.

Of course there's the Koei micromanagment of troops and all that good stuff as well. The graphics are nice, what a Koei game should look like on the latest gen. It's really impressive to see large units of troops in combat with no lag or ugliness. I'm looking forward to picking this up.… Full Review »
