Excerpt:
For Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War, Koei chose a bloody and acrimonious - yet epochal - time for its introduction to Europe's past. When players instruct a contingent to attack, the answer comes in a chorus of enthusiastic shouts. Armies meet in confused, lurching throngs; clangs and yells veritable in every way that warmaking is understood. What sophistication was kept from Bladestorm is instead found in - for lack of a better word - heart.
