Description:
Based on the beloved novel of the same name, Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII has been developed in celebration of the franchise's 30th anniversary. The game uses the tale of a collapsing dynasty and the power-hungry emerging factions to set a complex chessboard on which players can follow and influence the fateful events leading to the unification of 2nd century China.
Fans of strategy games will find this exceptionally detailed title to be a challenging and rewarding blend of deep strategy and historically accurate warfare, regardless of their familiarity with the rich story of the Three Kingdoms era of Chinese history. Cities can be built and developed; alliances can be fostered or broken; armies can be mustered and deployed. Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII prides itself on offering a wide selection of options for conflict resolution, the most impressive of which are the armies. A wide variety of army units can be recruited and trained, including foot soldiers, cavalry, artillery, and navy, while special care has been taken to incorporate diplomacy and personal relationships, giving the player an extra incentive to build a stable and loyal network of friends and allies.
This comprehensive and exceptionally detailed strategy title features two compelling gameplay experiences: the Campaign mode, which stays true to the most profound of strategy games by allowing players the freedom to choose a starting year and customize the board to their liking before attempting to beat the game, and the Hero mode, which acts an in-depth tutorial, closely following historical events while teaching players all of the game's mechanics. In Hero mode, players familiar with characters from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms series can also enjoy an alternative way to relive the exciting lives and adventures of those heroes before proceeding to leave their own mark on history!
In Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII players have near endless customisation choices, as they can take on the mantle of one of 700 historical characters (including such fan- favourites as Zhao Yun, Liu Bei, Cao Cao and more), or create their own unique character and try to climb the proverbial leadership ladder.
Features:
Human Drama - From the lowest officer to the ruler of an entire kingdom, select your favorite character from more than 700 officers within the game, a new high for the series. With a Chart that depicts the relationships and importance of your character and other officers, and the Bonds between them that influence your domestic and military commands, you can see the complex factors that served as the basis for the drama of the age.
Additionally, the Hero Mode allows you to clear stages one at a time, letting you experience the fascinating stories of these heroes for yourself.
Spectacular Battles - Experience the action in full 3D and in real-time as massive armies clash on the battlefield. From a "Strategy" that can turn the tide of battle, to thrilling one-on-one duels, the warfare that defined the period has been faithfully recreated within the game.
In addition to having an eye for strategy for the various situations that present themselves in each battle, you will need to utilize the unique characteristics of each officer in order to lead your forces to victory.
Dynamism - Plains, rivers, mountains, and deserts... Witness the vast splendor of the Chinese continent as you take in more than 60 cities in all, the most ever in the series. Enjoy seamless transitions into the cities themselves, and watch as they develop before your very eyes.
