The Nerd Stash: 9.5 / 10 by Julio La Pine

Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake is the ultimate way to experience this legendary historical simulation series. With a lot of player agency, over 1,000 officers to play as, and many scenarios to explore, this is the only strategy game you'll need in the foreseeable future.

Full Review

DualShockers: 5 / 10 by Austin Conrad

Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake very much feels like a 2000s game, which has been respectfully updated with improved presentation. Unfortunately, its gameplay has not withstood the test of time. Built upon an engaging turn-based gameplay loop, this game quickly becomes repetitive—even tedious—because it plays the same scenes over and over. Compared to the variety of events in modern grand strategy games, it's difficult to recommend this one. However, if you're a history enthusiast or a Dynasty Warriors fan curious about the strategy genre, this game may be for you.

Reno Gazette-Journal: 7.5 / 10 by Jason Hidalgo

Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake is a faithful re-imagining of the classic game with several new bells and whistles to make it more interesting for modern audiences. The remake might be faithful to a fault as some of the mechanics can feel dated at this point. The AI for battles could also use some improvement. With more than 1,000 playable officers and a plethora of roles for players to assume, however, ROTK 8 Remake boasts plenty of replayability. If you loved the original or are pining for some classic ROTK gameplay, this is one romance that isn’t bad at all.
