“Get this game for the turn based experience. The only legit reason to get this over 13 This version even with puk is still too barebone compared to 13. The highlight is the design is based on turn based chess game This…”
“Another game if I listen to the reviews I wouldn't buy it, but I am actually enjoying my time with it. The game is no where near perfect, but it's a fun strategy game about the world of Romance of The Three Kingdoms,…”

“I think that, when on sale and with its DLC, this is really worth the price! I think you can find a lot of different ways to have fun with it. Creating custom officers is really neat, the new gems system in the DLC adds…”

— a player, Steam review · 232 hrs played“I do not recommend this game, especially the Power Up Kit expansion. I won’t get into the debate about whether a remake should include a Power Up Kit at all, but the expansion itself simply doesn’t work. The original game was already filled with repetitive, meaningless dialogue…”
— a player, Steam review · 117 hrs played“Not sure if its skill issue or not, I have not been able to win ANY war.
