Released on Steam on May 23, 2019, Total War: Three Kingdoms takes place in ancient China, where your goal is to conquer and unify the realm. To do so, you’ll need to rely on armies, heroes, diplomacy, and good strategy.
Set in 190, you'll have to build your empire through force and diplomacy and become the new emperor of China. That's what Total War: Three Kingdoms, currently available for $11.99 following a 70% discount, is all about.
To unify China and shape its future, you’ll choose from 12 legendary warlords. Take on the role of a warrior or a statesman, recruit troops and heroes, and lead your army into battle.
According to the developers at Creative Assembly, each hero has their own personality, and the relationships between them will help shape China's future. The actions you take during battles will also have consequences, fostering both friendships and rivalries.
As in other games in the Total War series, conquering settlements is key. To do so, use your armies and war machines to expand your territory and defeat your rivals. Diplomacy can also help you forge powerful alliances or turn a situation to your advantage.
