The remake of a popular 2003 turn-based strategy by Koei Tecmo. Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake has us playing as the leader of a dynasty, warring against others to unite China under their rule.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake is a new version of a popular 2003 strategy game for the PlayStation 2. Just like the original game, it was developed and published by Koei Tecmo, the same company responsible for the entire ROTTK series. It was released on the PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch and the PC, directed by Kou Shibusawa.
The game is set in ancient China, where three dynasties - Wu, Wei and Shu - fight for political and military dominance. We play as one of the leaders desiring to unite the land under their rule. Our choices will determine whether we'll achieve this goal.
The game includes various scenarios, some fictional, some based on actual Chinese history. We'll learn about real events that influenced the nation's development or embark on a completely new path, creating an alternate timeline.
The remake includes not only the content from the base game and the Power Up Kit version, but also some entirely new features. The game is turn-based, each turn being an in-game month, during which we take actions to strengthen our military and economic position. We can expand our army, send our spies or grant gifts to other rulers.
The new release includes many different scenarios, each with a different beginning, economic situation and city locations. The game features over 700 characters with differing ranks, abilities and political views, from which we can choose our officers.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake features colorful visuals, combining 2D and 3D elements.

Game Ratings for Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake Video Game.
TheSixthAxis: 8 / 10 by Jim Hargreaves
Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake presents the series at its very peak. Despite turning back the clock more than 20 years, the end product feels like an evolution of ROTK's grand strategy format thanks to smart gameplay upgrades and its beautiful presentation.
GamingBolt: 8 / 10 by Matthew Carmosino
Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 is lovingly remade with much-needed convenience features, making this perhaps the best in the entire series. The worst thing about it is the omission of multiplayer. If you don't mind that, you have a meaty strategy game with over 1,000 playable officers and more scenarios than you can possibly ever want.
Rectify Gaming: 6 / 10
Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake is undeniably a labor of love, rich with features that make the story of ancient China’s political turbulence feel personal and dynamic. For those who adore the era’s history and don’t mind a slightly theatrical spin, the game’s “infinite drama” will be an immersive experience. But while the remake is packed with enhancements, it doesn’t entirely transcend its original. The gameplay and story, while deep and engaging, may not fully justify a remake for a game that wasn’t heavily demanded by fans. Instead, it stands as a tribute to a beloved entry – one that celebrates the theater of war and the complex drama of its officers but might have left fans wondering if a truly new Romance of the Three Kingdoms experience would have been the better gift.
