Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War challenges players to take control of a mercenary for hire during the legendary English/French conflict. Lead soldiers, warriors and other swords for hire into battle on horseback or on foot, fighting alongside Joan of Arc or the King of England as you strive to become the Mercenary Champion and win the fame and fortune in these dark times.
The gameplay takes place in a 3rd person perspective and takes the form of an action / RPG of sorts. The game's 'central hub' is a local bar where the player attempts to find jobs that will increase their wealth and reputation, as well as dealers that will allow them to change weaponry or buy more troops to fight by his side. This central area also serves as a meeting place for characters from the game world and the player can get information about overheard gossip which will help them later in the game. Talking to the bartender inside will present you with a list of available missions , the duration of that particular campaign, and the reward for success - these can take place on the English or French side (you cannot ally with just one faction). Selecting one of these missions will take you to the battlefield.
The main game itself is split into what first appears to be some sort of strategy game where the player sees which territories they need to take to complete the mission - however, any strategic element ends here. They can then select the "home base" from which to start. Once this is chosen, they are presented with a battlefield (similar to Dynasty Warriors). The main objective is to get to the castle/village to be taken and successfully seize it from the occupying troops. fight with any enemy troops they encounter along the way.
The player can command a number of different types of fighters, from archers to infantry to horseback riding, and later camel and elephant riders in the game. Battles are a simple hack and slash affair, the player attempting to clear the area of enemy troops. Once this has been achieved, a base commander will appear at the besieged base. Defeat this commander and the player will have seized the territory and completed the mission. Additional Renown can be earned by defeating in battle VIP enemies found throughout the mission. This will also produce treasures for the player, some of which are collectible throughout the game.
As such, Bladestorm has no end - the player will continue to fight battles as they progress (it's after the whole Hundred Years War!), but there is an arc of in-game story to complete, and the number of missions - although very similar, it can give players plenty of game content to keep them happy.
