On the whole, Bladestorm is truly a game that is all things to all people, but unfortunately not in the best sense of the phrase. from Darkzero.co.uk I'm glad Koei is experimenting with a few different themes and gameplay formulas. Bladestorm is very unique, using a blend of single and squad-based character control, and a sort of hybrid between realtime strategy and arcade action. from Amazon.com 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". from Amazon.com While dusting, I came across this on my room mates shelf. Being a fan of omega's games and a fair strategy nut, I popped it in, expecting to slog through a small cities population while barely staining my mail hauberk. However, bladestorm takes an interesting middle ground between the 3-rd person slaughterfest of Dynasty Warriors and the nearly completely hands off approach of Rot3K. Bladestorm puts you in the role of mercenary officer No. from Amazon.com 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. from Amazon.com 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. from Amazon.com I like this game. Most of the games that I play are of the PC strategy type, i.e. Civilization, Total War etc. from Amazon.com Bladestorm is not just Dynasty Warriors in Europe with a attempt to be a hybrid of third person action and real-time strategy, but perhaps it would be better if it was... It looks like Dynasty Warriors and you control a central figure who leads the troops into battle, but from there the two series diverge somewhat. from Amazon.com 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. from Amazon.com 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. from Amazon.com
