![]() ![]() The idea of managing cities whilst also fighting is very interesting, and crafting RPG style relationships between commanders is vastly different from other kinds of RTS. There are interesting ideas here, in spite of my own lack of enjoyment. Which was a lot of time sitting around and waiting. In one mission I had to recruit a new general, who took 141 DAYS to recruit. And even if you do the right thing, finding out how to do it immediately can be infuriatingly hard. It is jumbled, forcing you to go through confusing menus to reach some unclear objective. It lacks the clean look of a Civilization or even Total War game. There is no nuance, and complexity serves to detract from the game rather than to improve it. Combat is linear, and tends to be just sending men in to kill one another until one of you is left standing. The way the game functions is just tedious.

You meet him, and say hi, and he says you look like a strong warrior, and that he will introduce you to Guan Yu. In the first mission you must talk to Zhang Fei in order to make Guan Yu’s acquaintance.

There are two modes, Hero Mode and Main Mode. Not because it is hard, but because it is dull. To be honest, I struggled to play through this game. However, I found this excitement to quickly be misplaced. As someone who played Dynasty Warriors as a kid, I was very excited to be re-immersed in this compelling world. The game is based on a Chinese book of the same name, and has spawned video-game spinoffs before, with Dynasty Warriors being the most famous example. Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII is a military strategy game released by Koei. ![]()
