Mascom International stocks Bladestorm Nightmare at KSh 4,500, sold brand new and sealed as an Xbox One physical disc at our Nairobi CBD store. Made by Koei Tecmo, Bladestorm Nightmare is a large-scale battle game in which you lead a band of mercenaries through the Hundred Years War between England and France. You command up to four units with as many as 200 troopers between them, switching control as the fight shifts. Collect your copy at the Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street, or order it for pay-on-arrival delivery to your county.
Built for strategy fans, history students and gamers who like planning as much as fighting, Bladestorm Nightmare puts tactics ahead of reflexes. Many action games hand you one hero and a crowd to cut down, and the fun fades once the moves are learned. Here you choose which squad to lead, whether spearmen to stop a cavalry charge or archers to thin a line before it reaches you. Office workers in Upper Hill and Industrial Area can take on a battle or two after a long matatu ride home, which makes Bladestorm Nightmare easy to fit into a working week.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops carry only the latest releases, Mascom International keeps proven titles such as Bladestorm Nightmare sealed and on the shelf. Customers who enjoy tactical games tell us the Nightmare campaign, with dragons and cyclops joining the war, gives the history a fresh twist. The disc runs on every Xbox One and on the disc version of the Xbox Series X. Drop by Kimathi Street to see the sealed copy, or order Bladestorm Nightmare on WhatsApp and pay with M-Pesa or cash when it arrives.
Common Questions About Bladestorm Nightmare
How much does Bladestorm Nightmare cost for Xbox in Kenya?
Bladestorm Nightmare costs KSh 4,500 brand new and sealed for Xbox One at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. For that amount you get the physical disc in its retail case, a 6-month warranty against disc defects and pay-on-arrival delivery to any county. Both story campaigns play offline at no extra charge. Online co-op with a second player needs a paid Xbox Game Pass subscription from the Essential tier upward, paid to Microsoft. One Piece Burning Blood on Xbox sells at the same KSh 4,500 at Mascom International.
Does Bladestorm Nightmare include the original Hundred Years War campaign?
Yes, Bladestorm Nightmare contains the full Hundred Years War campaign from the 2007 original, rebuilt for Xbox One. You hire out your mercenary band to England or France, fighting beside historical figures such as Joan of Arc and Edward the Black Prince. On top of that sits the Nightmare campaign, a fantasy story in which monsters such as dragons and cyclops enter the war. Owners of the older game still get new content, and newcomers get both stories on one disc.
Should I choose Bladestorm Nightmare or Dynasty Warriors 9?
Bladestorm Nightmare suits players who want to command armies, while Dynasty Warriors 9 suits players who want to fight as a single hero. Both come from Koei Tecmo's Omega Force studio. In Bladestorm Nightmare you lead squads and win by picking the right unit for each clash. Dynasty Warriors 9 sets you loose on an open map of ancient China, cutting through crowds with flashy combos. Choose Bladestorm Nightmare for planning and tactics, and Dynasty Warriors 9 for fast, direct action with famous Three Kingdoms officers.
Can I play Bladestorm Nightmare co-op with a friend in another Kenyan town?
Yes, Bladestorm Nightmare supports online co-op for two players, so a friend in Nakuru can fight beside you in Nairobi. Each player needs an Xbox console, a copy of the game and a paid Xbox Game Pass subscription. A steady Safaricom or Airtel home fibre line keeps the shared battle smooth, while mobile hotspots can stutter during busy evening hours. Plug the console into the router with a cable if you can, since Wi-Fi through thick stone walls weakens the signal.
How does squad command work in Bladestorm Nightmare?
Bladestorm Nightmare lets you control up to four units with as many as 200 troopers in total, switching between them during battle. Your mercenary leads one squad directly, while the others follow the orders you set. You can merge squads into a larger army for a mass attack on a base or a strong enemy group. Each squad type has strengths, so spearmen hold firm against horses and archers strike from range. Squads grow stronger the more you use them, so practice with one style pays off.
Will Bladestorm Nightmare play on my Xbox Series X or Series S?
Bladestorm Nightmare plays on an Xbox Series X with a disc drive, running as a backward-compatible Xbox One game. Insert it, wait for the install, and it launches from your games list. The Xbox Series S cannot run it, because that model has no disc drive at all. The same applies to the all-digital Series X edition. Every Xbox One model, including the One S and One X, reads the disc directly. If you are unsure which console you own, send a photo to Mascom International on WhatsApp first.
Who should buy Bladestorm Nightmare, and who should skip it?
Bladestorm Nightmare is for players who enjoy medieval warfare, unit tactics and slow-building progress across long campaigns. It also fits pairs of friends who want to plan battles together online. Skip it if you want sharp modern graphics, because it is a 2015 remaster of a 2007 game and looks its age. Players after quick head-to-head fights will be happier with One Piece Burning Blood, which Mascom International also stocks on Xbox disc. Xbox Series S owners should skip every disc release, this one included.
Is Bladestorm Nightmare worth it for history and strategy fans in Kenya?
Bladestorm Nightmare is worth KSh 4,500 for Kenyan history and strategy fans who want battles shaped by choices rather than reflexes. The Hundred Years War setting draws on real rulers, commanders and battlefields across France. Students reading history at Moi University or USIU can see a period they study turned into playable conflicts. The detailed character creator lets you build your own mercenary leader, and the Nightmare campaign adds a second story once the historical one is done. At Mascom International, we're seeing steady interest from tactics fans.
