    Just noticed that Bladestorm: Nightmare is once again at a decent price - only for the next 35h though. Possibly my favourite 6/10 game of all time. The last of Koei's Kessen series, but mangling European history. Think Dynasty Warriors but you're controlling several regiments instead of one guy.

    Bladestorm is on sale again! A rare event. One of my all-time favourite 6/10 games. An action strategy game that does for the Hundred Years War what Dynasty Warriors did for Chinese history: Completely mangle it. Heavily expanded over the original 360 version. www.humblebundle.com/store/blades...

    Just putting this one slightly aside from the rest of my sales recommendations Bladestorm is a game of questionable quality. It's a so-so PC port of an expanded PS4 re-release of an obscure PS3 game. You need to mod Xbox/PS button prompts in I also find it WILDLY compelling. Pure gaming junk food.

    In many ways, Bladestorm Nightmare feels like the last PS2 game, an action-strategy game filled with peak Koei cruft and an increasingly unhinged fantasy story in Nightmare mode. If you miss 6/10 genre experiments that are arguably more interesting when they don’t work, I can’t recommend it enough.

    Taking a break from the list with a real sicko's pick - Bladestorm: Nightmare. One of Koei's wierdest games. A regiment-level action-strategy game (think Dynasty Warriors but you control 30 guys at once) set in a gloriously mangled version of the Hundred Years War. Usually overpriced. $15 for now.

    Speaking of weird decade+ old games that only go on sale rarely, Bladestorm: Nightmare is going cheap, and is a guilty pleasure favourite of mine. Arguably the final game in Koei's action-strategy Kessen series. A remarkably intricate but meatheaded Japanese interpretation of the Hundred Years War.

    There's really no other game like Bladestorm. It experiments a lot with the old Kessen formula, and Koei haven't done anything like it in over a decade since. It's a remarkably deep action-strategy-RPG hybrid, more sandboxy than structured. Not very hard, but with room to challenge yourself.

    If you were to buy all 24 of the games in this thread, it would cost you a total of... £72.53 And just £60 (around the price of one new AAA console game) if you drop Bladestorm, which is just my personal sicko's pick. And I'm confident you'd get more fun out of that mountain than, say, Spider-Man 2

    I drew Anka, she's a character I created like 20 years ago in a game called "Bladestorm". She's a mercenary from the middle east(ish). I've drawn her in Kogal style but I'm working on one of her in more active gear atm.

    There's Bladestorm if you want a Hundred Year War game with Musou energy (but not Musou gameplay), but that's the only time Koei have really done that sort of thing for western history.

    4) BladeStorm: The Hundred Years War I’m convinced that I fucking hallucinated this game because it was the GREATEST CONCEPT EVER, Dynasty Warriors but as an RTS set during the Hundred Years War. But I have never, in my life, talked to anyone else who knows of it.

    Bladestorm is a wild time and a game a lot of folks slept on (or missed entirely). A squad based sorta musuo adjacent Warriors game. Fluffy has been having good fun with it, so if you want to see Bishonen Black Prince Edward get yourself on over.

    Over the weekend I started playing Bladestorm: Nightmare, a remake of a ridiculous PS2 game where you take a squad of medieval European warriors, or anachronistic folk like ninjas or Romans, and rampage around the battlefields of the Hundred Years War

    there was a short period of time where Koei was trying to make musou games for time periods besides Three Kingdoms China and Sengoku Japan, with Warriors of Troy and Bladestorm, and I kinda wish they did more of those imagine a musou game about, idk, Babylon or something

    I kinda think Waterloo would be more interesting because they already did a Hundred Years War thing with Bladestorm: The Hundred Years War. It doesn't HAVE to specifically be a musou style game so much as "Dramatized version of historical events filtered thru Japan."

    OMG Bladestorm??? That game is a nostalgia landmark for me lol. Played the demo when I was a kid, then bought the Nightmare re-release on PS4, but never really dove into it. Perhaps its time to finally check it out for reals 👀

    I mean this dumb and honest, you're in the one game ive always shouted about, Bladestorm, and im happy it's a dumb series i can still cheer on. I just want to ask and hope nothing bad happened with th at, because ive been working audio enough to ask and hope it was a good team to work with.

    I picked up Bladestorm: Nightmare on a whim and I can't stop playing lol. Super weird, never played anything else like it, like a RTS game with short missions and you only command one unit at a time Graphics are trash, mechanics are unusual but it's charming as hell

    Bladestorm crit build. It's pretty lazy but still viable even in late game raids. Unless you wanna be a caster, in which case I suggest arcane for reliability and consistent DPS.

    Does anyone remember the game Bladestorm: THYW? I absolutely adored that game back in the day, despite how drastically different it was to a lot of Koei Tecmo's games at the time. It definitely wasnt the most popular of titles for them, but I liked it all the same.

    For people who don't know what im talking about. Koei made a game called Bladestorm. It's based on the 100 year war, and is frankly the most unhinged historical game ive ever played in that you can run from one side of france to the other, and it takes 30 minutes+, just to kill Joan D'arc.

    9. Iamarl from Bladestorm: The Hundred Years War. Too few people played this game and I get it but you are missing out on Iamarl and she'll always be precious to me, even if so few get to meet her.
