War may be hell, but it sure looked a bit more flashy and legendary during the good old days when everyone was wearing suits of armor and waving swords around. It's the same here in Koei's latest Dynasty Warriors-esque title, BladeStorm: The Hundred Years' War (Xbox 360, PS3) that takes place in early Europe rather than the oriental settings we've been used to. And this video update - featuring good old-fashioned war in its most epic form - shows just that.

Clank clank clank, smash, neigh, slash, cue death scream. While Koei has always been known to churn out great-looking titles that render gajillions of enemy soldiers getting killed onscreen, it's to note that BladeStorm: The Hundred Years' War not only looks the part of you being in a war, but also sounds like it. There's a lot of ambient noise that makes you feel that you're actually in the war, where a lot of things are happening at once.

The embed's below, you know what to do. Charge!

I got a 91 hit combo, but nothing higher. I love the game. With my 20-30 troops, I annihilated an enemy base...around 180 soldiers total. Only getting hit 5 times. I'm SO buying Bladestorm..

I'm sick of these games that are supposed to be "EPIC."
In actuality, they're just big open fields, with hundreds of the most stupid soldiers in the world that don't even really try to kill you. And shouldn't Koei be able to make a game with decent collision detection yet? When you run into someone in a game... They shouldn't slide around as if on ice. Where's the friction? Also, if a company is going to make a "war" game, they might as well have blood. Why should killing be okay if there's no blood?
Why am I so bitter?
