Bladestorm: Nightmare (Xbox One) in Kenya

A battlefield action game for Xbox One players who like commanding troops, not just swinging a sword.

Bladestorm: Nightmare is a large-scale action strategy game from Omega Force for Xbox One in which you play a mercenary who leads squads of soldiers across the battlefields of the Hundred Years War, with an extra Nightmare mode that adds fantasy creatures. Available in Kenya from City Gadgets Kenya, this page is for shoppers searching "Bladestorm Nightmare Xbox One", "Bladestorm Nightmare Kenya", "Omega Force Xbox One games", "battlefield action game Xbox One", "buy Xbox One games Nairobi", "Hundred Years War game" or "Xbox One games Kenya".

If you have played Dynasty Warriors, this game will feel familiar and different at the same time. You still fight crowds of enemies, but you do it by commanding squads, switching between them, and deciding where a battle will be won.

Key specs at a glance

What's in the box

What Bladestorm: Nightmare is

Bladestorm: Nightmare is a battlefield action game made by Omega Force, the studio known for the Dynasty Warriors series, and released for the Xbox One in 2015. It combines two things: the Hundred Years War campaign that the original Bladestorm game was built around, and a new Nightmare mode in which the war is invaded by fantasy monsters and mythical figures. People who search for "Bladestorm Nightmare Xbox One" or "battlefield action game Xbox One" are usually fans of this style of large-scale fighting.

In both modes you play a mercenary captain who sells their services to either side of a historical war. You are not a lone hero who cuts down hundreds of soldiers on your own. Instead you lead squads, and the squads do the fighting while you steer. This is the key difference from many similar games, and it is the reason the game feels more like commanding a battle than like running through one.

How the battles work

At the start of a mission you choose from a roster of squad types. Some are swordsmen, some spearmen, some archers, some cavalry, and there are other specialists. Each squad type has its own strengths, and you can switch between squads during the battle by moving to another group and taking control. The skill is knowing when to change, because a squad of archers is poor at close combat but excellent at picking off an enemy leader from a distance.

Battles are large. Hundreds of soldiers appear on the field, and objectives change as the fight unfolds. You might defend a point, capture a fort, rescue an ally or break an enemy line. Because you can see the whole picture, you can decide where your attention is needed most, rather than only pressing attack buttons.

The Hundred Years War campaign

The campaign follows the story of the Hundred Years War between England and France. You choose a side for each battle, so you can fight for either army and see the war from both perspectives. The history is presented in a game-friendly way, so it is not a textbook, but it gives the battles context and purpose.

Fans of historical games will enjoy the sense of occupying a real conflict, while players who just want action will find that the story does not get in the way of the fighting.

What the Nightmare mode adds

The Nightmare mode is the reason for the name. In this mode the same war is twisted by fantasy elements. Mythical creatures and unusual enemies appear, and the tone becomes darker and stranger. It is a way to enjoy the same battlefield system with a different flavour, and it suits players who find a purely historical war too restrained.

If you like the idea of fantasy monsters on a medieval battlefield, this mode is a strong selling point. If you prefer historical settings only, you can focus on the Hundred Years War campaign.

Playing with a friend

The game supports online co-op for two players. There is no local co-op, so each player needs their own Xbox and account, and an online subscription is generally required for online play. If your friend lives in another part of Nairobi or in another town, this still works, provided both connections are stable.

Playing together makes the battles more tactical, because you can split roles. One player can lead cavalry on a flank while the other holds the centre. If you mostly play alone, the offline campaign is complete by itself.

Controls and learning curve

The controls are less complicated than those of many strategy games, because you control one squad at a time and use buttons for attacks and special abilities. The learning comes from understanding squad types and knowing when to use each one. In the first hours, expect to lose a few battles while you work this out. Experiment with different squads, read the descriptions and watch how the enemy reacts.

Players who enjoy leveling up will like the progression. As your squads fight, they earn experience, and you unlock stronger versions and new abilities. This gives a long-term reason to keep playing.

Is it suitable for children?

The game features battles and combat, and it carries an age rating on the case. Check the rating and use Xbox family settings if younger players will use the console. The violence is of the battlefield kind and the themes are war and fantasy, so it suits teenagers and adults more than young children.

Playing it on your Xbox

This is an Xbox One game. It runs on the Xbox One family and normally on Series X and Series S through backward compatibility. A Series S has no disc drive, so ask us for a digital option if you own one. Check your free storage before you install, and allow time for an update download. Plug the console into a surge-protected extension, since a power cut during a long battle can lose unsaved progress.

Getting started: your first battles

Begin with the tutorial missions and keep your first squads simple. Use a sword or spear squad to learn movement and attacks, then add an archer or cavalry squad once you understand the rhythm. Watch the mini-map, because it shows where the fighting is heaviest and where an ally needs help. Do not chase every enemy. Look for the objective and move to it.

Pay attention to your squad's health. A weakened squad can retreat and recover, and a fresh one can take over. Switching at the right moment is often the difference between a narrow win and a loss. When you lose, read the result screen, which often shows what went wrong.

Common questions before buying

Is it like Dynasty Warriors? It comes from the same studio and has large crowds, but you command squads instead of one hero, so it plays differently.

Can I play split-screen with a friend? No. Co-op is online only and supports two players.

Do I need Xbox online for co-op? Online co-op generally needs an online subscription.

Is it a long game? The campaign and the Nightmare mode give many hours of play, and progression keeps going.

Is it a disc or a digital code? We confirm this for the specific unit before you pay.

Does it work on a Series S? A digital copy can run on a Series S through backward compatibility, but a disc cannot, because the Series S has no disc drive.

Questions we hear often about Xbox games in Kenya

• Is it safe to buy a game from a shop in town? It is safe if you buy from a seller who shows you the item, gives you a receipt and explains the terms. We tell you whether the stock is a disc or a digital code, and which edition, before you pay.

• Will this game work on my Xbox? That depends on your console and on the edition. Tell us whether you own an Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One X, Series X or Series S, and we will confirm. A Series S has no disc drive, so a disc will not play on it.

• Do you deliver in Nairobi and outside? Yes. Orders confirmed before 3pm are delivered the same day in Nairobi, and outside Nairobi we deliver by courier, typically 1 to 3 business days after dispatch. The delivery charge is confirmed before you pay, and M-Pesa is accepted.

• Is the game new? We list new items and show you the sealed pack. If a pack looks opened or damaged, tell us before you pay.

• Can you recommend what else I need? Tell us your console, your storage space and your budget. We would rather recommend one good game than sell you several you will not finish.

Looking after long sessions

Battles in this game can run for a while, so plan your evening. Take a short break between missions, stretch your hands and rest your eyes. Keep a drink nearby, but away from the console and the controller, because spills and electronics do not mix. If your household shares the TV, agree on a time so that a mission is not interrupted halfway.

Ordering from City Gadgets Kenya

Tell us your console and whether you want a disc or a digital copy, and we will confirm what is in stock. We can arrange same-day delivery in Nairobi for orders confirmed before 3pm, and M-Pesa is accepted.

Final buying notes

Before you order Bladestorm: Nightmare (Xbox One), take a minute to think about whether you prefer commanding squads or controlling one hero. If you are unsure, call or WhatsApp our sales team on 0745 575 931 with the model of your Xbox and what you like to play, and we will tell you honestly whether this game suits you.

We would rather lose a sale than sell you something that does not suit your setup. We let you inspect the pack, and we confirm any detail that is not published, such as the format and the edition, before you pay.

You can visit the shop at New Alnoor Exhibition, Shop 7, Second Floor, Taveta Road, Nairobi CBD, or we can arrange same-day delivery in Nairobi for orders confirmed before 3pm.

Playing Xbox games in a Kenyan home

Most Xbox owners in Kenya play on a console in a sitting room or bedroom, often shared by family members of different ages. A few practical habits make the experience better. Plug the console into a surge-protected extension, because Kenya's power can spike when it returns after an outage, and keep the console where air can flow around it, never in a closed cabinet. Dust is a constant, so wipe the console and controller with a dry cloth and keep discs in their cases.

Games take space. Many modern games are tens of gigabytes, and an older game can still receive large updates. If your console is almost full, delete finished games and keep only those you play. A game you delete can be installed again later, as long as you have the disc or the licence, and your saved progress is kept on the console or in the cloud when you are signed in to your Xbox account.

Which Xbox does this game play on?

Xbox games are made for particular generations of console, and it helps to know yours. The Xbox One family includes the original Xbox One, the Xbox One S and the Xbox One X. The Xbox Series family includes the Series X, which has a disc drive, and the Series S, which has no disc drive. Many Xbox One games also run on the Series consoles through backward compatibility, and some run better there. Games made for the Xbox 360 and the original Xbox are a separate matter, and only some of them run on newer consoles.

The most important practical point is the disc drive. A Series S cannot read discs at all, so a disc version of a game is useless on a Series S, and you would need a digital version instead. If you own a Series S, tell us before you buy. If you own a Series X, an Xbox One S or an original Xbox One, discs work, subject to the compatibility listed on this page.

We list each game for the platform named on its page. Whether the item in stock is a disc or a digital code, and which edition, is confirmed per unit, so ask us before you pay and we will tell you plainly.

Online play, updates and your Xbox account

Some features need an internet connection. Online multiplayer on Xbox normally needs an Xbox account and, for most online multiplayer games, an active Xbox online subscription. Updates and patches download over your home connection. In Kenya, a fixed home fibre or a stable router connection is better than mobile data for large downloads, and you should check your data bundle before you start a large update.

Keep your account details private. Never share your password with a seller or a stranger. We do not need your account password to sell you a game, and you should be cautious about anyone who asks for it.

Age ratings and family settings

Games carry age ratings, such as ESRB and PEGI ratings, which guide whether a game suits a child. A rating is a general guide and does not replace a parent's judgement. Xbox has family settings that let a parent set age limits for games, set screen-time limits and manage spending. If children play on your console, take ten minutes to set up a child account, and talk with them about online safety, including not sharing personal details and what to do if a stranger is rude.

How to check your game when it is delivered

1. Inspect the packaging for damage before you sign. A disc game should be in a clean case with an unscratched disc.
2. Check that the title, the platform logo and the edition match what we confirmed with you.
3. If it is a disc, look at the disc surface for scratches, and check that the case includes the disc and any inserts we confirmed.
4. If it is a digital code, check that the code arrives intact and has not been used, and redeem it on your own account as soon as you can.
5. Install the game on your console and play for a few minutes, so that any problem shows up while you can still tell us.
6. Contact our Customer Relations team on 0794 488 806 straight away if anything is wrong.

How to avoid fake or unsuitable games

Game discs and codes can be copied or sold in the wrong region. Watch for these signs.

• Check the packaging and the print. Blurry artwork, spelling mistakes, a missing platform logo or a missing rating label are warnings.
• Check the disc. A genuine disc has sharp printing and consistent markings. A hand-written or blank disc is not genuine.
• Check the region and language. Some versions may be locked to a region or lack a language you want, so ask us.
• Watch the price. A price far below the market for a recent game is a reason to ask why.
• Be wary of shared accounts. Be careful of any offer to share an account instead of selling you a game of your own, because accounts can be recovered by their owners and you may lose access.
• Buy from a seller with an address. Choose a seller who gives a receipt and explains the warranty, and avoid paying a stranger before you have seen the product.

Warranty and stock

Warranty and return terms for games depend on the format and the seller, and opened games and redeemed codes are generally not returnable unless they are faulty. We confirm the format, the platform and the exact terms in writing for the specific item before you pay, and Customer Relations on 0794 488 806 handles questions after purchase. Keep your receipt and the case.

• Fans of Dynasty Warriors and similar crowd-battle games
• Players who like commanding troops
• Anyone who enjoys the idea of fantasy creatures in a historic war

Compare before you buy

Compared with Dynasty Warriors. Dynasty Warriors puts you in the role of a single powerful hero. Bladestorm gives you squads to command, so it is more tactical.

Compared with a strategy game. A pure strategy game keeps you above the field. Bladestorm keeps you inside the fight, so it is more action-focused.
