Romance of the Three Kingdoms 14-based SRPG announces beta test

The game is a hybrid of SRPG and SLG mechanics, developed by the team behind 三國志 真戦. It focuses on strategic depth, allowing players to form custom units, utilize battlefield environments, and engage in large-scale alliance warfare. The core gameplay revolves around turn-based tactical battles on a grid-based map, where players command five generals. Unlike traditional SLGs where outcomes are determined solely by numerical stats, this title emphasizes player decision-making, including general traits, unit compatibility, positioning, and skill timing.

Players take on the role of a ruler aiming to conquer the chaotic era of the Three Kingdoms. The game features a vast map with historically significant locations such as Wusuo, Wuzhangyuan, Changbanqiao, and Zhuge Lu. These areas are designed to be explored freely, with random encounter events that reveal historical anecdotes and interactions with famous generals. Key historical battles, including the Battle of Chibi, the Battle of Guandu, and the Battle of Changbanpo, are recreated for players to experience through their own strategic choices.

Alliance warfare is a central feature, supporting real-time battles ranging from 1v1 and 3v3 skirmishes to massive 50v50 and 100v100 engagements. Players can employ tactics such as bridge blockades, fire attacks, and flanking maneuvers, leveraging terrain and weather conditions. The game removes the traditional preparation phase of securing supply lines, allowing for faster deployment and dynamic combat.

General combinations are highly customizable, with tactics based on historical records and character lore. Players can build diverse combat styles, such as high-damage formations using the Five Tiger Generals of Shu, sustained damage tactics utilizing the fire strategies of Wu, or defensive formations centered around Cao Ren of Wei. The beta test details, including participation methods and schedule, will be announced on the official X account. The platform also plans to host special campaigns, including giveaways for beta access and Amazon gift cards.
