Dynasty Warriors-esque action that's visibly in a more epic and grander scale (as well as being set in a completely different continent) in this video update of Koei's Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

We get you up to speed faster than a whole contingent of enemy knights getting slaughtered by a single swipe of a hero unit's sword. In this video, we see massive armies of armor-clad knights being led into a brutal war, with the game's cinematics telling a story of a country torn apart by strife.

The gameplay bits are decidedly awesome, with the synchronized movements of your own battalion highly-reminiscent of the group dynamics yours truly has only seen with Leonidas and his 300 Spartans. The voice acting, while a bit hammy, does its job pretty well - it's certainly not the worst we've heard.

Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War may be sharing a lot of Dynasty Warriors' game mechanics, but if this trailer is anything to go by, it definitely stands out on its own as a title of its own right. Updates as we get them, so enjoy the video!
