Magic Tower: Cao Cao

Magic Tower: Cao Cao is a linear scenario with multiple choices and endings, set in an alternate historical background. You play as the father of Jiang Wei, the protagonist of the next-generation Jiang Wei's Campaign, and face Cao Cao as the final boss. The game is the inaugural title in the Magic Tower: Three Kingdoms Series, following Magic Tower: Three Kingdoms: Swallow the Earth; Cao Cao's Campaign precedes Jiang Wei's Campaign and is a pre-predecessor to Chaos Across Time.

Progress through the stages

You must defeat each stage's boss to advance, beginning with the Village Chief in the starter village. A maze before the main city makes exploration more difficult because low-cost HP recovery is unavailable there.

Recruit generals

Chests in the starting area contain initial supplies and General Tokens for recruiting generals as soon as you leave. After that, recruitment requires the specified quantities of different tiers of General Tokens. The type and amount needed depend on a general's attribute values and abilities; you can find more tokens in later quests and chests.

Combat

The combat system has no acceleration or speed-up function.
