Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake

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.

Plot

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.

Mechanics

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.

Technical aspects

Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake features colorful visuals, combining 2D and 3D elements.
