In 182 AD, the imperial court is plagued by deep-seated corruption, and the common folk suffer through endless hardships. Hampered by factionalism, officials fail to take action, leaving the people to endure their struggles. You can play as either an original character or a historical warlord, striving to build your military forces and connections before chaos unfolds. You have the choice to roam as a lone wolf or use your knowledge of history to recruit numerous famous generals to your cause. The game's worldview draws from the authentic historical records of "Records of the Three Kingdoms," romanticized narratives from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," and popular modern literary works (featuring characters like Wang Yue and Tong Yuan). If you are interested in East Asian historical games and enjoy the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" series or the "Taiko Risshi" series, this game is a must-play.

Eliminate bandits, collect bounties, ambush merchant caravans, resist foreign invaders, and restore order to the court—the game features all conceivable missions. Strive to recreate the vibe of ancient cold weapon warfare, starting with the enjoyment of small-scale battles for early growth. Later, experience the epic sensation of larger-scale army combat. The game begins with a relatively high difficulty level, so players unfamiliar with survival or strategy games should proceed with caution. Players who are not familiar with the warlords of the Three Kingdoms may find it hard to immerse themselves, but they can gradually uncover the secrets of this world. The game does not feature flashy combat visuals, so those who prefer spectacular action scenes should be wary.
