We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Action players who want to command multiple troop squads during large battles
- History-themed game fans who want missions from both English and French viewpoints
- Players seeking a medieval action game with a monster-focused alternate mode
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want a tightly focused character-action game rather than directing squads and switching between battlefield groups
- Players seeking a purely historical campaign may bounce off when Nightmare mode introduces dragons and cyclops
- Players without a Windows PC may not be able to use this version
Our take on BLADESTORM: Nightmare
The bounce point arrives when battlefield control expands beyond a single fighter. Players must switch among as many as four squads and coordinate forces of up to 200 troops, while those seeking a strictly historical campaign encounter dragons and cyclops in Nightmare mode.
