If you've always thought that history should be different and that the French and English wars were done wrong, then Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War will give you the chance to (sort of) do something about it.
One of the latest offerings from Koei for the PS3, Bladestorm will allow players to take on the role of mercenaries, and from there, they can then decide whether they wish to give their support to either England or France. As commander, they will have various units at their disposal, and it will be up to them to effectively wield their troops of infantry, cavalry, and archers.
Developed by Omega Force, Bladestorm: The Hundred Years War is set to be released by Q2 of this year.

AWESOMEoutof10's Fraser Brown proposes that anachronisms in video games can be a good thing. From the anything in history goes attitude of the Civilization series, to the use of swords in modern settings. It's all part of games offering players freedom and the keys to the toy box.
But at the end of the day, the game simply wasn't received well enough for Tecmo Koei to feel the need for a sequel. It's a pity, because this kind of game is a niche that isn't really being filled right now.
I loved this game, but I only play it every so often, the combat can get rather boring very fast.
good, but not great. And by great, I don't meant to say that this was so under appreciated that it was great (only some deserve it).
an amazing game, just wish i had completed it, got to last battle and it broke. typical
...along with Fatal Inertia.
nothing special at this point
