Evaluation
BLADESTORM: Nightmare launched on Steam on May 28, 2015 as an enhanced re-release of the 2007 original. The developer issued two bug-fix patches in the weeks following launch — one on June 3, 2015 (fixing a graphics issue with AMD cards) and one on June 11, 2015 (fixing missing voice audio in Nightmare Mode). After June 11, 2015, there have been no further developer communications of any kind. There is no DLC listed for the game, no roadmap, no announced future content, and no post-launch content updates beyond those early bug fixes. The store description markets the game as a complete product featuring both the Hundred Years' War campaign and the Nightmare mode together, with no mention of planned expansions or additional content. This game launched as a finished, self-contained package and received only minor technical polish shortly after release. There is no evidence of any planned or ongoing content development.

About this game
After 7 years, BLADESTORM: Nightmare has returned and makes its debut on Windows!
Experience the ultimate expression of the series with “Direct X”!
[Features of the Windows version]
One feature of the Windows version is the ability to set detailed graphic settings, like number of characters displayed, draw distance, and so on, based on your PC’s specs.
For those using high spec PCs, using the highest settings optimizes DirectX11’s capabilities, allowing for improved battlefield graphics and amazingly smooth gameplay at a high frame rate.
Also, since it is possible to customize the controls, you can create a control scheme that you enjoy for the best game play experience.
[Features of BLADESTORM: Nightmare]
◆A new type of Action Game! Lead squads to drive the enemy into oblivion!
Players become mercenaries in the Hundred Years War and lead squads of fighters, made up of anything from footmen, bowmen, and horsemen to elephant troops, cannon troops, and siege weapons, across dynamically changing battlefield on a mission to guide his side to victory.
Players control squads of men, using unique Actions to devastate the enemy for an innovative and thrilling experience. With each trooper, both enemy and ally, guided by its own AI, the savage clash between large forces are painted in breath-taking intensity and shocking reality.
◆The Thrill and Strategy of controlling 4 squads of up to 200 Troops!
Players can switch between up to 4 squads. Switching between squads allow them to act over a wider area. Also, combining squads into an army of up to 200 men allow players to make powerful concerted attacks and combos based on the attacking squad, all for an exciting new game-play experience that combines the thrill of action and the depth of strategy.
