Possibly the best title of this great sim/strategy series
Romance games are known for kingdom management and stategic battles. RTK X focuses more on the life of officers during that time. Unlike the previous games where you play kingdoms and their leaders, this game allows you to play any officer of any rank. You can be a free officer, doing deeds for the people (or against the people), be employed by the kindoms and progress the ranks, or be a kingdom leader your self.Confrontations come in different sorts,1) Turn-based battle where you attack an enemy city or army.2) Large scale campaign where you attack a whole region with several armies (turn-based).3) One-on-one duels4) Debates (for officers with low WAR but high INTELIGENCE).The new debate mini-game makes it even fun to play officers who are not good in fighting as battles can be won by wits. My best description of debating: The game is like ‘Trump Card’ where you have a hand of balls of different numbers. Higher numbers defeat the enemy’s played balls and damages the enemy. The balls are then palced on a board based on the played numbers. Like Bingo, you can form lines and you can deal greater damage to the enemy when this happens. So even if you lose out in Trump Cards, you might win in Bingo. It all depends on strategy. Characters with higher intelligence have more powerful counter moves.The game has a lot of features and I don’t want to make this review too long so here’s my summary.Pros:Limitless replay valueLots of roles to playLots of ways to play the gameGood b.
The thing about Romance of The Three Kingdoms games is that they can seem complex, confusing, and intimidatingly alien to a newcomer. In fact, it’s bizarre seeing such an odd bird on a console rather than a PC. However with the popularity of the spinoff Dynasty Warrior action games many of the characters and much of the Romance story is a familiar thing these days. There are certainly much more complicated strategy games on the PC for that matter and few of them have half as functional an interface for managing all the information about the game’s world.Romance is a strategy game for roleplayers. It allows you to create a character, or step into the shoes of any one of hundreds of historical and fictional officers, or his entire family and try to unify China under one ruler. How you go about that or whether you even decide to pursue that end is up to you. Other possible goals for a given run-through of a campaign might be collecting items like treasures, tomes or weapons, winning debates, battles or duels. Certain conditions unlock special events, locked gallery content, or new portrait art for custom characters.The sheer variety of things to do in RoTK assures that it never feels the same twice. In my first game I played as Zhou Yu, a Lancelot sort, and ended up spending a goodly amount of free time after the Yellow Turbans were defeated just accomplishing private missions and exploring the map. My Liege was allied with most of the other powers and so peace remained.
I miss romance strategy games. Wish they would make one for PS4
I’ve played the game before I was excited to get it hadn’t played it for a few years now I’m happy I did
Ever since Romance of the 3 Kingdoms first came out on the Nintendo I have been addicted to the series. While many kids my age at the time were playing Mario and Zelda, I was sitting in front of my TV trying to conquer China with historical figures such as Cao Cao, and Liu Bei. Needless to say, my friends didn’t exactly encourage me to bring the game with me when I came over. You would think a series such as this would struggle, especially on consoles. While it doesn’t set sales records by any means, it does have a hardcore following. Enough in fact that many years later we now have eleven versions of the game. The tenth version of the game on the ps2 may be the most complex and rewarding, yet it does have a few flaws which annoy at times. Romance X is similar to VII, and VIII in the respect that rpg elements are included. You can still play as a ruler if you so desire, but the ability to play as an officer is also available. This version is much more in depth in terms of rpg play. You can choose to be a free officer roaming the land and helping the peasants and nobles who ask you for help. You can build a rogue army and attack bandits or even weakly defended cities. Perhaps being a vassal to a certain ruler is more to your liking. Help your ruler well, and you will gain fame, money and titles. If you do well enough, he may make you one of his most trusted generals. Or perhaps he will make you governor of a city, or even his most trusted advisor. Or maybe you.
Came to retrolio to replace my original copy after I wore it out. This is an in depth strategy game where the object is to unite China during the Three Kingdoms era. You must develop your hero, your cities, and your prefectures, and you must recruit new heros to help you in your quest. I have tried some of the other games in the Three Kingdoms series, but this is my favorite. It has the best mix of peacetime development strategy and hands-on combat. it reminds me very much of Bandit Kings of Ancient China for the old Nintendo system. The downside of this game is the historical mode. I don’t care for the rigid structure or the campaign style of warfare, but I am certain there are those who do like them, and for me the fictional mode is so worth the price I paid it twice. I also enjoy the ability to create your own characters and add them to the cast. you can make them your main hero, have them work for you, or just let them loose in the world. It’s pretty cool to walk into a bar in ancient China and Chen Zhen or Fa Mulan.
Turn based strategy, as the name implies, let’s you work at your own pace. I can easily spend 10 hours on the game without feeling the time passing by. I use the game as a time killer, reference for an unclear part in the “Three Kingdoms” novel and of course, the thrill of living the life/being an officer of the Three Kingdoms.If you’ve never played Romance before, you will not fully enjoy/understand the game unless you are familiare with the charecters, politics and scenarios of the Three Kingdoms. You can do that through the “Three Kingdoms” novel, or for a faster and easier way, a Dynasty Warriors game.

Where’s the multplayer? All of the games in the series had it except this one. Granted Romance 7 didn’t either but there was an easy to figure out cheat code that let you add more players. Not only does it not have a multiplayer mode but it says it does on the back of the box. False advertising! Boo! Baaooooo!But on to the positive, this is the best games in the series as far as a single player experience is concerned. It is much more focused on character development than the previous game, Romance IX(it’s even more hardcore than romance 7 in some respects). Unlike the other games there are no ‘turns’. Time flows smoothly, day by day instead of the usual ‘do a bunch of stuff, click the done button and the month is over’ routine. That is cool and it makes the game feel more natural. Historical events are integrated smoothly and the games has a very storylike quality. One of the best additions is the art of debate where you outtalk you opponent instead of the usual head bashing. Even though it is pretty much just a card game, draw the best number and your guy will say something piffy and your opponent will stagger back under the wieght of your words. I would have to say that for those who enjoyed Romance 7 and 8 then this will be the best game you have ever played but if you are more interested in strategy and battles than chopping down tress for some old peasant(or if you want to play with some buds) then you would be better off with sticking to the other games i.
