If you are a first timer to the Romance series or strategy games in general, this may overwhelm you as it did for me. Intro/Story score: 4/5 For the first time diving face first into a Romance game, let alone a strategy game, I found the story well done. Read on more to find out what I mean by this.
One major key is a strategy game of this depth is, for a better term, very unique. As I dove more into this game, I realized a few things about myself and this franchise. Read Each game has the same story loosely while following the novel and text in its retelling. Characters are numerically characterized by their leadership abilities, melee prowess, intellects and loyalty, as well as special traits or even magical abilities that can be called upon whether during wartime, diplomacy or domestic affairs.Įach game has the same story loosely while following the novel and text in its retelling. A city is described by statistics such as stored grain supplies, vulnerability to disasters such as floods and earthquakes, treasury funds, domestic affairs and populace loyalty. Gameplay revolves around managing numerical statistics, each representing an attribute of a city or a character. The storyline takes place during the Han Dynasty in China with many warring factions that included the Shu Han, Cao Wei and Eastern Wu kingdoms. The story of this game I believe is the following: I figured I would give this a go since it includes the characters from that series and is based on the main game that it spun off from. I played several of the side games including the Warriors (or musou) games which is one of my franchises.
This is the first time I dipped into a strategy game, let alone a Romance of The Three Kings game. Each game follows this format from what I gathered. It will be out of 10 instead of 30.*įrom my understanding, Romance of The Three Kings is based off the Romance of the Three Kingdoms novel and the historical text Records of the Three Kingdoms. *In this review, my scoring system changed due to feedback.
