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. And you are there! Fight to the death or try to overcome with strategic thinking. Relive Medieval history- Outwit your opponents or overwhelm them with dominating force. The fate of two countries is yours to decide

I am a Dynasty Warriors/Samurai Warriors fan and thought this would be very similar, but was surprised at how unique it is to anything I've ever played before. I have played a lot of games categorized as strategy that involved very little real strategy. This game truly is a strategy game! It is a cross between Dynasty Warriors and Total War (PC).
There are many different units you can lead in a battle. Some have advantages over others and are at a disadvantage when facing other units. It is like a rock, paper, scissors set-up. Yet there are helpful things on the game screen that allow you to see whether or not you will have an advantage or a disadvantage over an enemy. This keeps you from having to have a whole advantage chart memorized. One thing I really liked is your character gains experience only with the types of units he has commanded during a battle. In that way, you get good at leading certain types of...Read more 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful:  Bladestorm a very pleasant surprise, By Heirnymous Bosch (Massachussetts) - See all my reviews = Fun: This review is from: Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War (Video Game) I like this game. Most of the games that I play are of the PC strategy type, i.e. Civilization, Total War etc. I also like RPG's like Morrowind and Oblivion. I see this game as sort of a hybrid of the two types. Bladestorm feels more "light hearted" and just fun. It's totally open ended. You don't have to create units and build castles etc. you just use what's already there. I was very pleased to find that you can go into options and change camera view to inverse. I think the graphics are excellent. It's really rich and beautiful on a wide screen HDTV. The voice acting and music is pretty rediculous, but doesn't detract too much from the gameplay. What this game has, that really makes it different is the "first person" relation to what's going on on the battlefield. You can't get that "bird's eye view" that you get in Total War. You see the battlefield the way a participant would. There's till plenty of opportunity to employ...Read more 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful:  Great Game with outstanding replay value!, By Paul (Michigan United States) - See all my reviews = Fun: This review is from: Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War (Video Game) I've owned this game for about a month and have played it regularly. I would best descibe it as playing one of the soldiers in a Total War game because there is a large scale battle going on while you control one character or unit to complete the objectives and win the battle.
Pros: Great grapics; the in-game graphics are great and very detailed. The individual soldiers within a unit are somewhat unique looking and are not 20 copies running around. Also, the lighting as the time of day progresses is very good and impressive. The artwork and design are also great, giving a Japenese styled image to European soldiers and characters. The story/plot is interesting but not consuming. Short conversations and cut-scenes between battles provide plot while keeping the emphasis on gameplay. The voice acting was also impressive. Gameplay is great and a lot of fun, you can take your character anywhere on the battlefield and...Read more |
