Heroes of Three Kingdoms is a story-driven, single-player strategy game set during the Three Kingdoms period. Its current campaign follows the history of Shu Han, beginning at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when political disorder, border troubles, natural disasters and rising taxes leave the people suffering. The story opens with a marriage in a small village. Planned biographies include Shu, Wei, Wu and Lv Bu; the Shu Han story follows a historical direction, while the planned biography of Lv Bu takes a mythological direction.

Campaign and progression

The campaign has a script of millions of words, draws on classical books and features individually designed levels. You can use the traditional war-chess save-and-load method or return to any level to play it again. As the story progresses, you obtain generals, equipment and items. You can replay story levels at different difficulty settings, and dynamic levels let you take on challenges without restarting the game.

Develop your generals

The game features more than 100 generals. Combat earns experience and lets you improve their abilities through a growth system that gives you control over each general’s development. General transfers, talents and strategies distinguish their roles and support different team combinations. Famous generals have unique finishing moves and passive effects, with their skills reflecting their historical characteristics.

Tactical battles

Terrain affects heroes’ combat abilities, and weather can change them as well; some heroes can even alter the weather. Battles use many attack types, including physical and magical attacks, counters, follow-up attacks, guided attacks and combinations. More than 200 effects include hate, armor-breaking, wind, killing, first-strike, flanking and anger attacks. The AI uses more than 50 segments and a large behavior tree to choose actions in response to the battlefield. Higher difficulty can demand precise planning, while a simple mode is available for newcomers.

Art and presentation

Generals’ 3D models are rendered into 2D images in a classic painting style. Each general has an individually configured voice, and soldiers have their own voices too. The game includes interior and exterior scenes at resolutions up to 1920 × 1080, along with animations, particles and other visual effects. Characters also have animations for actions such as entering a door and crossing its threshold.
