Bladestorm is made by Koei, the creators of the Dynasty Warriors series. With that said, there are going to be massive battles in this game. Now if you hated the Dynasty Warriors hack ‘n slash don’t give up just yet. Bladestorm introduces an element of strategy into the fold. As a commander you do very little fighting on your own in the game, you have units you command and fight for you. The switching of units adds more to the game and allows for some planning. (IE Knights should not run into a group of spears, but they can run right over archers.) Bladestorm is a unique game but many people will probably only give it a single playthrough.
This game is absolutely brilliant. 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 troops based on your experience at leading those troops.I am in love with this game. The learning curve is really not that steep, though at first it might seem to be. This is definitely a unique game when compared to everything else currently out there, and might set the standard for a new style of real time strategy. A definite must play for fans of strategy games!
A great game, both alone or with friends. The measured,10 minute matches are ideal for hotseat gameplay. An absolute masterpiece of an RTS game, especially at max level with each player picking a side (English or French).
You all know the name Koei. “Dynasty Warriors”, “Samurai Warriors”, “Warriors Orochi” “Dynasty Warriors Gundam” and all the sequels and alternate versions that go with them. All great action/strategy games, but that is an easy achievment because they are all EXACTLY THE SAME GAME! Before “Warriors” there were a dozen or so “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” games which were pure turn-based strategy. I was a fan, but again, where’s the creativity; where’s the diversity? So, making historical fiction fun: Koei’s strong point. Innovation: not so much. “Bladestorm” marks an ever-so-slight deviation from the “Warriors” games by focusing on a rock-paper-scissors style of stategic combat rather than a one-against-1000 button mashing festival. The setting has changed from feudal Asia to feudal Europe so no more Lu Bu and Cao Cao; now we’ve got Joan of Arc and Edward the Black Prince to contend with. You create your own mercenary and proceed to fight in the legendary 100 Year War alongside the French and British forces as historical events unfold around you.You may choose your battles and fight them as you see fit: either going straight for your objective and a quick payout or capturing extra bases and defeating commanders to gain fame. Gameplay consists of you commandeering a unit (assuming you’ve obtained the proper battle manual for that unit type) and leading the charge to defeat the enemy forces and achieve the objective(s) set before you, which is usually capturing and/or.
The game is worth the money and it is a challenging game compared to Koei’s other games like Dynasty Warriors, because you can’t button mesh and be a one-man army. This game is good for people who love to command squads. I love this game and the graphics in my opinion are excellent.The game got to me in a very timely matter and it was in mint condition.Travis N.
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 choose to complete the mission objectives or make your own path. Character/unit development keeps the game interesting as your charater develops new skills that allow you to control different units. Cons: Gameplay can be pretty repetive, a lot of time can be spent performing the same actions again and again. But I say the game has great replay value because you can choose to focus on different units as you play through the game which gives it a different style and feel. For example, if you focus on cavalry the entire game you might get tired of running y.
Finally something original is made though surpisingly, it comes form KOEI, a company that has developed 6 games called Dynasty Warriors. KOEI innovates on a new concept. You are a mercenary in the Hundred Year War between France and England and must accept contracts from both countries. At the end of each contract, one receives a monetary reward.The whole games revolves around the battles which are the contracts. Outside of these, one finds himself in a “tavern”, which is little more than a useful menu where one organizes his mercenary’s business. In the battles, you are a simple soldier who has the ability to take control of different types of units all of whom have different capabilities and to seemingly switch from these.Meeting historical figures such as Edward the Black prince and Joan of Arc, one quickly finds himself immersed into this original game.the only con was that after 15 hours of gameplay, it gets a tad repetitive, but as other reviewers have put it, theres always different ways of playing the game for a new experience.Hopefully KOEI will continue their streak of spawning multiple sequels, for this game that is.
KOEI gets a bad rap in my opinion. Sure they tend to produce button mashers that are a little weak on story or they simply try to repackage concepts over and over, but that can be good at times. Bladestorm doesn’t really fit that mold. Set during the Hundred years war, this is a game that is long and takes a little bit to get into. The controls are different and take some getting used to and after awhile you end up either liberating or ransacking the same cities multiple (and I do mean multiple) times. But, once you get into the game it is pretty fun. It involves some strategy, but not in the tradtional “you move then I move” sense. Worth the time. Just don’t expect to finish it in a week. Maybe not even in a month.
The game came undamaged. The disc looked near perfect. Package came very fast to me. The game is very fun.
this game is great. its basically an RPG. you are a mercenary for hire. a war between the french and the english, you can fight for either side, the 100 years war, you cant modify your “character’s traits or anything like that”. you modify these “books”, each “book” is a different group that you group up with. for instance “sword”. you group up with this group that has a sword and you use this group to attack the enemy with. after attacking the enemy for awhile you start leveling up. then at the end of the battle you can add points into slots according to how much experience you gained for that round “according to the book you were attacking with, for example, sword, if you were gaining levels in sword usage, you will be able to put points into the book: sword. you only gain experience when you increase in level. there are are about 10 different “books” that you can choose from. from spear, sword, bow and arrow. crossbow. lance on horseback, pike, bow on horseback, magic, mace, and many others. each battle are different stages.the main point of the game is to capture different territories while youre on the battlefield. you have a time limit for each battle. and your objective varies. every objective is to basically capture a certain territory. the game is alot of fun. if you like the middle ages, midieval type games. this game will be alot of fun for you. i have owned it for about a year now. and i still play it. the game is always exciting. there is no change in difficulty.
