Get Chuǎngguān Shā II for PC

Chuǎngguān Shā II combines turn-based tactics with card play. You choose a lord, recruit generals and set out through a series of stages. On the board, you move to suitable locations and play cards; randomized elements in battle shape your strategy.

Generals and their skills

The game includes more than 30 generals from the Three Kingdoms period. Generals share upgrade options based on their roles—leadership, attack, defense, strategy and mobility—and each has 3–4 exclusive skills to upgrade. There are more than 100 skills in total. Generals are not divided into rarity tiers such as SSR or R; their abilities are balanced around combinations of skills between them.

Battles and stages

Stages use roguelike elements, with enemies generated randomly. You can upgrade arrow towers, obstacles, reinforcements and villages to help withstand enemy attacks. Maps may also feature random hazards such as fire, miasma and storms, requiring you to direct your forces accordingly.

Side missions and bosses

Alongside the main stages, you can take on designed side missions whose difficulty does not rely simply on raising enemy stats. Their objectives include “Speed Is Essential,” “Attacked from Both Sides,” “Rescue the Lord Alone” and “Save the Villagers.” Boss stages are guarded by the divine beasts Zhuque, Xuanwu and Baihu; defeating each boss requires understanding its characteristics.

Troops and cards

Each general can lead one troop type. The game has close to 50 types, each with different abilities that can bring out a general’s strengths. More than 50 cards are divided into basic, strategy and equipment cards, each with its own use. Their value depends on playing them in the right place and at the right time.
