  • The game offers a deep and varied gameplay experience, combining RPG elements with strategic gameplay, allowing players to engage in unique storylines and alter historical events.
  • It features a complex relationship system that encourages player interaction with historical figures, enhancing the role-playing aspect and providing a sense of immersion.
  • Despite being in early access, the game is already functional and enjoyable, with many players praising its potential and the effort put in by the developers.
  • The game lacks an official English translation, which can make it difficult for non-Chinese speakers to fully enjoy the experience, although fan-made mods are available.
  • There are significant balance issues, particularly with character progression and event difficulty, which can lead to frustrating gameplay experiences.
  • The AI and combat mechanics are underdeveloped, resulting in a lack of strategic depth and making battles feel less engaging.
  • gameplay
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of the game is a mixed bag, featuring officer-based mechanics and a blend of various genres, including strategy management, card battling, and cultivation simulation. While some players appreciate the nostalgic elements reminiscent of classic Koei games, others criticize the lack of focus and depth in its mechanics, leading to a convoluted experience that can feel slow and overwhelming. Overall, the game shows potential but requires more refinement to fully realize its ambitious concept.

    • “This is the ultimate Three Kingdoms game, especially for officer-based gameplay.”
    • “Gameplay and mechanics are actually pretty good.”
    • “First, it's a refreshing feel of familiar gameplay from Koei games; no doubt the devs themselves play those games.”
    • “The game has potential, but the mechanics need to be better fleshed out; it's like a jack of all trades, master of none.”
    • “It doesn't really have any focus or identity, juggling a dozen barebones mechanics ranging from basic (and extremely annoying) strategy management to card battler RPG to cultivation simulator, all at an absolutely glacial pace.”
    • “Gameplay feels wonky.”
  • story
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is heavily focused on player choices and events, allowing for significant divergence in outcomes based on faction alignment and character survival. However, players often find themselves waiting for specific conditions to engage in major story events, which can be frustrating when AI actions disrupt the narrative flow. While the game offers intriguing mini storylines and opportunities to alter historical fates, some players feel that the overall storyline is limited and can be inconsistent.

    • “If you fulfill conditions to participate in an event by being in the correct faction and the characters are alive, you will have story with dialogue where you can change how the events play out.”
    • “You can change fate and the story diverges quite drastically, for example taking over the Yellow Turban Rebellion while secretly being on the side of the corrupt eunuchs in the capital.”
    • “Mini storylines where you can alter historical fates (e.g. I had the opportunity to help Cai Yan by saving Cai Yong from the prison).”
    • “The game is decent; I don't regret buying it or playing it, but this game is very story-oriented, and for the most part, you are waiting for the correct date and conditions to participate in the next major event.”
    • “Sadly, if there is this big story event where the coalition army is attacking Dong Zhou, and you are some random mercenary, you won't be able to participate and influence how the battle goes.”
    • “Wanted to do at least a single full run, but the AI happens to blob way too aggressively and fast with no blocks in place, which bricks half of the story events - in my case, Tao Qian having lost a city to Cao Cao that I can't even conquer back for him because diplomacy doesn't have that option, nor much at all for that matter.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    While the game offers a variety of activities, many players feel that its replayability is limited, as the core gameplay remains largely repetitive regardless of the player's role or choices.

    • “Despite the wide range of activities, the game doesn't have much replayability, as whether you're a monarch or a random murderhobo, you'll still be doing most of the same things over and over again.”
    • “The lack of meaningful choices means that once you've played through the game, there's little incentive to go back and experience it again.”
    • “While the game offers various paths, they ultimately lead to similar outcomes, making replaying feel more like a chore than an adventure.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game primarily features copyrighted tracks, which has garnered mixed reactions from users; some appreciate the familiar tunes, while others express concerns about the potential for licensing issues and the impact on the game's originality.

    • “The game relies heavily on using copyrighted music, which detracts from the overall experience.”
    • “I found the music selection to be uninspired and repetitive.”
    • “The background music feels out of place and doesn't match the game's atmosphere.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find that the grinding required for building affection in the game is excessively time-consuming, as AI factions are able to recruit characters at a much quicker pace than players can establish bonds.

    • “Affection grinding takes too long — AI factions recruit people faster than you can bond with them.”
    • “The grind feels endless and repetitive, making it hard to stay engaged with the game.”
    • “I find myself spending hours on grinding without any meaningful progress, which is frustrating.”
  • graphics
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics have been criticized for their low quality, resembling indie-level visuals, with particularly negative feedback on the AI-generated sprites and character designs, which often feature exaggerated proportions. Overall, the 3D models and CG graphics are considered basic and unrefined.

    • “Ugly graphics, especially the AI-generated sprites (almost all the female characters have exaggerated features) and CGs.”
    • “The graphics are indie-level — heavily reliant on AI art, and the 3D models are basic.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is noted to be significantly superior to that found in Koei titles, suggesting a more engaging and entertaining experience for players.

  • character development
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviewers feel that the character development in the game requires significant improvement, particularly in terms of visual design and depth, suggesting that a larger budget could enhance the overall quality and seriousness of the characters.

    • “Still needs a lot of polishing and hopefully a full visual rework with more serious character designs when the studio gets a larger budget.”
