Game Overview

One of three initial PlayStation 3 games produced by the acclaimed Omega Force team. The new title is designed by the development team of Dynasty Warriors, and is a new franchised designed to line up along side Omega Force's previous works.

The Good

Easy-to-use controls for commanding companies of troops, Great idea to blend arcade action with squad combat.

The Bad

Campaign just recycles the same style of battles over and over again, No strategic depth or arcade satisfaction, Ineffective artificial intelligence, Dated visuals and sound.

The Bottom Line

Bladestorm: The Hundred Years War brings to life the intensity and drama of a war-torn Medieval Europe featuring a rich tapestry of legendary characters including Joan of Arc and Prince Edward, the Black Prince.

Utilizing a next-generation game engine, the game's armies collide on the battlefield at an unprecedented scale. Countless numbers of men consumed with ferocious intensity converge on screen, where tactics and cunning combine with valor and might to determine who is left standing at the end of the day. The game puts players in the role of a rogue commander and gives them direct control of mercenary units in fierce clashes with English and French forces. You must adjust strategies as skirmishes evolve, and then deploy the unit best-suited to handle the challenge. Game progression is wholly dependent on a player's decisions and accomplishments on the battlefield.
