I really enjoyed this but it won't be for everyone. I was entertained by the rather random Japanese interpretation of the Hundred Years War, and the basic gameplay loop is good fun - although you seem to rapidly become significantly more powerful than most enemies you face. It was good mindless fun during a period when I was very sleep deprived and not up to much else. Also, just to note, £50 for a game this old is a joke - I picked it up on sale. I wouldn't recommend it at full price.
I love this game. It has unique squad control mechanics that give it a special charm. I love the Dynasty Warriors Empires games, but this game gives me the tactical and strategic feel i wish those games had. If you go into a mission as France and conquer 90% of the mission map, your English missions will have to deal with your pervious actions there. It may not be for everyone, especially people that like hack and slash. You're not a one man army, your the strongest mercenary that can lead almost any unit type and squad. You can unlock more playable mercenary slots that add more strategy and control over the map and missions with the hot swap mechanic. I really hope Koei Tecmo make another game in this vein. It is not a Hack and Slash like the Dynasty Warriors games. Positives: More Strategic gameplay. Units have advantages and disadvantages against other units, you'll have to swap squads unless you over-leveled like crazy. Customization Heavy. Game still holds up. Interesting Setting. And a Break from the normal formula. It is not a Hack and Slash like the Dynasty Warriors games. Oddly immersive world and cutscenes. Negatives: Very simple controls, hold down button auto-fight simple. Combat is also janky, like you have to position yourself properly and hope the enemy doesn't move too much as you're locked into swinging. According to other reviews it's a bad port, but i didn't play the original to confirm that. The gameplay gets repetitive, which is historically accurate for this conflict. Movement can be slow if not a mounted unit. Easy to over-level the one unit that makes the game boring and easy. IMPORTANT* It is not a Hack and Slash like the Dynasty Warriors games.
This game and Ogre Battle 64 are two games that I really "love". Sadly if there are things that might exist that actually match these two, I never found them... Though I will say a number of things do get one part of what I want done really well but my interest is not peaked by the other parts that are different. Nostalgia ....such a loaded word...
The game is basically the 100 years war but with asian self inserts and a terrible leveling system which makes you an unkillable god 10 hours in. Like other ppl have said, get this game cheap like $10. I've loved the barkeep with a speech impediment since I was 15 playing this on my xbox 360.
