Summary
Romance of the Three Kingdoms VIII is the latest in the historical simulation series set in the famous Three Kingdoms period of ancient China. Koei has drawn upon the best features of previous games in the series and has improved upon them to create the very best game of its kind.
Romance VIII is set in a period that spans the second and third centuries AD, during which three heroes emerged from the chaos of the Chinese Han Dynasty to form their own separate kingdoms. Select a scenario from a timeline that stretches from the Yellow Turban Rebellion of 184 to the Three Kingdoms period when Wu, Wei and Shu forced vied with each other for control of China.
Romance VIII retains a popular feature of the previous title in the series - the ability to play as any Officer. New aspects include personal relationships between characters, such as "Marriage" and "Sworn Brother", which bring each officer vividly to life. A multitude of events means the game can be played again an again with little repetition with regards to the story - even when playing as the same officer.
It's the eighth in the series and it probably wont be the last.
