Total War: THREE KINGDOMS is the first in the multi award-winning strategy series to recreate epic conflict across ancient China. Combining a gripping turn-based campaign game of empire-building, statecraft and conquest with stunning real-time battles, Total War: THREE KINGDOMS redefines the series in an age of heroes and legends.



China in 190CE

Welcome to a new era of legendary conquest.

This beautiful but fractured land calls out for a new emperor and a new way of life. Unite China under your rule, forge the next great dynasty, and build a legacy that will last through the ages.
Choose from a cast of 12 legendary Warlords and conquer the realm. Recruit heroic characters to aide your cause and dominate your enemies on military, technological, political, and economic fronts.

Will you build powerful friendships, form brotherly alliances, and earn the respect of your many foes? Or would you rather commit acts of treachery, inflict heart-wrenching betrayals, and become a master of grand political intrigue?

Your legend is yet to be written, but one thing is certain: glorious conquest awaits.

ANCIENT CHINA RECREATED





Discover Three Kingdoms China, a land of breath-taking natural beauty. Battle across lush subtropics, arid deserts and snow-capped mountains. Marvel at legendary landmarks like the Great Wall of China and the Yangtze River. Explore the length and breadth of ancient China as you restore harmony to its embattled landscape.

CHINA’S GREATEST LEGENDS





Forge a new empire as one of 12 legendary Warlords drawn from China’s celebrated historical epic, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Peerless commanders, powerful warriors and eminent statesmen, these characters each have a unique playstyle and objectives. Recruit an epic supporting cast of heroes to command your armies, govern your provinces and strengthen your growing empire. Characters are the beating heart of the game, and China’s very future will be shaped by its champions.

GUANXI SYSTEM





Modelled on Guanxi, the Chinese concept of dynamic inter-relationships, Total War: THREE KINGDOMS takes a paradigm-shifting approach to character agency, with iconic, larger-than-life heroes and their relationships defining the future of ancient China. Each of these characters is brought to life with their own unique personality, motivations, and likes/dislikes. They also form their own deep relationships with each other, both positive and negative, that shape how your story plays out.

ARTISTIC PURITY





With stunning visuals and flamboyant Wushu combat, THREE KINGDOMS is the art of war. With beautiful UI, vibrant vistas and authentic Chinese-inspired artwork, this reimagining of ancient China is a visual feast.

REAL-TIME & TURN-BASED HARMONY





The turn-based campaign and real-time battles of Total War: THREE KINGDOMS are more interconnected than ever before. Actions in battle now have much greater consequences, affecting your Heroes’ relationship towards you, as well as the friendships and rivalries they develop with other characters. In a world where powerful allies are one of the keys to success, this adds a brand-new element to how victory is achieved.

This is the game that fully brought me into the total war franchise. Since then, I have played hundereds of hours of this game and always enjoy it. Even after playing many other total war games, this is still my favoite one.

The diplomatie and spying systems are incredible and very ingaging, the battles are of epic proportion, the emphisis has been put on the leaders and characters to make them unique (plus the duels are awsom), the music is awsome and immersive, the map is huge and beautiful...

One thing I like very much is the atention to detail (soldiers planting the flags before fighting or realesing flying lanterns in night battles for example).

So far, I have played Total war thrones of Britania, Rome 2, Napoleon and athila and Three kingdoms is my favorit by far. I'm planning on playing Warhammer 3 and maybe two after I've played that one for a bit. We'll see if it stays as my top 1 after these two, but it would be a high bar to reach.
  • best diplomatic system so far in a Total War game
  • importance of generals and their amazing duels
  • breath taking visuals and graphics
  • not many different units to choose from
  • CA abandoned support of this game too soon

[88 hours play atm] Three kingdoms takes Total War to the next level is some aspects, while it does not succeed on everything it is definitely worth buying.

It took me a total of 48 hours to conquer China with an absolute military victory.
Three Kingdoms brings another iteration in diplomacy, and it is really appreciated, this time they got it right lads, you can see what the other party wants and how much of it they want, making diplomacy and relations with other factions essential if you want to succeed on your conquest.

Heroes are a nice addition, although some times they are extremely resilient (especially on legendary) they are very satisfactory to play with; their huge tree of abilities and the 4 different types of heroes bring something to the mix that is unique and fresh. This TW is very focused on relations and your champions.

Buildings and cities are also very tactical, providing a huuuuge tree of buildings from the very beginning, you have to take in account what are your available resources, what are the provinces ups and downs and how to take max profit from it. (Although military buildings have 0 to none use in this one)

Technologies are now reforms and they appear on a tree, which I may add, is super beautiful and blossoms in the direction of your chosen reform. Unlocking units are also included in this tree.

Agents are now gone and they are substituted by Champions and Spies. You can hire spies and build undercover networks in enemy factions and becoming a general or even being hired as a noble in their court, they are very useful for military actions. Characters (Champions) can also do actions such as assignments or being administrator, which provide bonuses to your provinces or debuffs to enemy provinces.

Combat is really good, only complaint is the archer AI, which is pretty buggy in close range, other than that everything works perfectly and manually aiming trebuchets is the most gratifying thing I have ever done on a total war.

I don't think I am leaving anything out, all in all it is a very complex game that will require you to learn a lot during the first turns, if you are an all time fan of TW you should buy it.
  • Mindblowing art
  • Champions
  • Diplomacy is no longer random and it works neat
  • A lot of factions to play in base game
  • Relations with characters and factions have an actual purpose
  • Archer AI
  • Not beginner friendly
  • Micromanagement becomes tedious when your faction is big
  • No agents

  • good diplomatic systems
  • auto delegation boat battles suck

I would not say that this is the best total war released because it's not. It's not bad, but it could be better. I like it, the new Romance mode is fun, but the game itself lacks content, so it becomes boring after a short while compared to the other total war titles. I love the new diplomatic system, it's amazing, and the new "Research" tree is great as well. :) But it really needs more content!

I kind of bought this game only because it's a Total War game and I wanted to check in how good the series currently is. I expected nearly nothing except a extreme DLC policy (it is better than other games currently but its never too late for DLCs we know).

When I played it for a couple of hours i really got into it and started liking the game, the battles are amazing, graphics are good, I personally feel like Shogun 2 was more authentic in battles and other games had a better economy game on the campaign map but all in all it's a good game and i enjoy playing it
  • good graphics
  • nice unit design, different units play different
  • innovative Army design with more Hero based play style
  • You may choose weather you want Hero or Army based gameplay
  • auto battle for siege looses less man than any player can manage
  • Cities in trading are cheap

I really like strategic games, but this total war has always been my best strategy game. There were also weaker parts, but the first and second part of the warhammer was a big deal, until it came to three kingdoms total war! This is best for every strategy game. The outstanding role of martial arts, politics, economy, and heroes all works great. You have to think about tactics, which is great. It's a real challenge, because it's hard, but it makes the game play even with a friend. Very good fun with a friend. I can only recommend the game!
  • Nice graphics
  • realistic game
  • very exciting story and characters
  • very exciting game, but playing with a friend is even better
  • Best Strategy Game

A surprisingly solid game in the Total war series. Usually, new Total wars are plagued with bugs but not this time. After two games I am yet to encounter a single problem. The diplomacy is improved, combat is... nothing awesome, but it works. The generals are quite unique in Romance mode.

This newest addition to the Total War series is the smoothest running release in the series history. With a multitude of content, and a series amount of style, this entry in the series is an absolute must have, and at the best price!

Best total war! I really like total war games because it can provide a strategy and story that is not much of a game. Best strategy game for total war. You have to think a lot about it and make every decision. It is more advisable to have a friend than alone, because the game takes a lot of time and you should not spend that time alone. Warhammer liked it too, but it is amazingly good. I can only recommend it to everyone. I love it!

Free DLC!
I wrote for a instant gaming support and sent a DLC code! Thanks! No one should cry for a DLC so that you don't get a writing to be adjacent! The DLC was not offered on our web site. Please be careful reading the description of the product on our website.
  • Best of strategy game
  • very nice graphics
  • Heroes are important
  • The voice and the world are impressive
