Video Game Reviews of Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' WarCustomer Review: This game will require a time committment Summary: 5 StarsKOEI 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.
