BLADESTORM: THE HUNDRED YEARS' WAR puts gamers in the role of a rogue commander and gives them direct control of mercenary units in fierce clashes with English and French forces. The game's unique style of action thrusts players into dynamic and ever-changing conflicts. Players must adjust their strategies as skirmishes evolve, and then deploy the unit best-suited to handle the challenge. At a player's command is a broad array of troops including infantry, archers, and cavalry, as well as a variety of specialized units such as elephant units, cannoniers, and castle siege specialists. While each unit is comprised of autonomous soldiers, each warrior will contribute to the assigned objective.
I wouldn't recommend buying this game, but it's a fun rental for a weekend or two. Plot line doesn't exist and the missions are basically all the same, so it gets old fast, but it is fun for the first while.
