Review: Bladestorm: Nightmare (Sony Playstation 4)
Back in 2007, Koei released the original Bladestorm , titled, "The Hundred Years' War". An interesting, albeit futile, attempt at combining the massive scale of their traditional Musou formula with the popular RTS genre.

Coming to the PS3 and PS4 in digital form is chaos-absolute chaos-in the form of Bladestorm Nightmare. I don't have a lot of experience with the Bladestorm franchise or it's Eastern brother, Dynasty Warriors (besides that one DW Gundam game I reviewed several years ago), so Bladestorm Nightmare is...

I know I've spent a lot of time pointing out all the negatives in Bladestorm: Nightmare , but it gives the fans exactly what they wanted: a Dynasty Warriors -like game set in Europe. The Hundred Years' War is a very intriguing period of history, and the original story set in it does still hold up.
Pros:
- Fans of the genre will get exactly what they are looking for
Cons:
- Listless combat
- too much downtime during battles
- sub-par narrative

Bladestorm: Nightmare Review – Nightmare Realized (PS4)
The title says it all.

A tale of souls and swords, eternally dull.
Somewhere in the world, there's a 14-year-old in an interminable high school history class who, just to stay awake, is probably imagining a scenario that looks a lot like Bladestorm: Nightmare.
Pros:
- Fun ideas in story and gameplay
- Wide array of customization options
Cons:
- RTS elements work against
- not with
- the Musou formula
- Very little variation in stages
- Laughably terrible voice acting
- Most selectable options have no consequence

Bladestorm: Nightmare (PS4) - Review
Bladestorm: Nightmare is theoretically a good idea on paper. Take 2007's Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War - the hack ‘n' slash-meets-RTS cult adaptation of the historical conflict of the same name - and update it for the new generation of consoles while also including a new "Nightmare" campaign,...

Bladestorm: Nightmare Review – Sure, it's Not a Nightmare, but it's Far From Dreamy
When you think about the Hundred Years War, chances are it's mostly a foggy recollection of something from history class long gone in the hazy past. Ironically, outside of a few highlights, that's pretty much all there is to remember from that time.

Bladestorm: Nightmare
A barely-improved version of a seven-year-old game with a fantastical bonus campaign, Bladestorm: Nightmare remains an anomaly, for better and worse.
