Created during the Dreamcast era, Hundred Swords was the first of its kind, a japanese made RTS, that started in arcades, later into a home version (which in US, never came sadly) and finally to PC, for the mere price of 20$. A game that I followed ever since I saw a preview of it in Next Generation mag. when I heard the news that it was canned for a US release, I really cried :cry2: it looked so cool. Besides the fact that is another RTS, Hundred Swords however, sports some interesting characters and story, and the gameplay is common, but with twists. I guess Im still hyped with the idea that someday Sega might create a sequel, and give it to GameCube, or perhaps Revolution, in the meantime, I'll have to stick with WarCraft3 and C&C: Generals, anyone heard about the game? anyone still looking for it?

Hundred Sword was a squed attempt in making a Dragon force with pc twists..

The fact of the matter is DRAGON FORCE 1 and 2 where far more amazing and involved more stradegy. If you ever layed both you would understand why it didn't sell will but dragon force did. That Sega Saturn game(s) are true gems and reason enough to own the system...

If you liked that I would suggest you play dragon force... (rumor has it they are making a full sequal to that game)

Trust me...this is better... Though I did like Hundred Swords...
