Amidst the abundance of Three Kingdoms-themed games in the market today, the craving for premium historical immersion among players intensifies, as the sheer volume of games often leads to mixed quality. Thankfully, this particular desire has now been alleviated.
A recent new strategy game called "Three Kingdoms: Watching the Divine Land" has received high praise from players, especially for allowing them to genuinely play as Cao Cao and Liu Bei. It has been highly praised by history game enthusiasts. This is evident from the strong feelings of reluctance and anticipation in the player community following the game's last closed beta before its public release, showing just how many are eager to enjoy this new game.
According to player reports, "Three Kingdoms: Watching the Divine Land" features a unique art style that does not follow the modern aesthetics common in similar games. Instead, it portrays characters using traditional Chinese classical painting styles, with scenes, maps, and storyline CGs all rendered in classical ink wash art.
The UI animations incorporate elements of brush calligraphy and shadow puppetry. From activating battle tactics to one-on-one duels between generals, the battlefield animations present 3D effects on a traditional Chinese cultural foundation, combining power and impact. The game pays homage to Chinese traditional culture at every turn, especially with its high standard of story design!
When players experience Cao Cao’s storyline “Wei Wu Whip,” they witness a detailed depiction of his internal struggle after the failed coalition against Dong Zhuo. Entering Liu Bei’s storyline “Restoring the Han,” players can follow Liu Xuande’s journey from humble beginnings to defeating the Yellow Turbans. The dual storylines offer different perspectives on the same events, providing players with fresh experiences. More storylines will be added in the future, allowing Three Kingdoms fans to switch and enjoy their favorite narratives anytime.
Regarding gameplay, as a strategy chess game, "Three Kingdoms: Watching the Divine Land" excels in both freedom and tactical depth. Players can personally take on the roles of Cao Cao or Liu Bei, leading their favorite generals across the Three Kingdoms battlefield. Each character is distinctively designed, combined with skill, tactics, and troop development elements. Additionally, the base-building system lets players upgrade structures to gather resources, offering more possibilities for overall strategic planning.
In battles, the "Bravery, Cunning, Discipline" three-color troop counter system, teammate chain combos, and other strategic and engaging elements stand out. Functional buildings on the map like rolling logs and arrow towers can be utilized by players. Although the “Stratagem” system has limited uses, choosing the right moment to deploy it can turn the tide of battle.
Especially for veteran players, "Three Kingdoms: Watching the Divine Land" offers hardcore challenges, such as IF storylines where players can attempt to rewrite fate in classic battles. The game’s rich and entertaining content is why it has won the affection of many testers.
Leaks from previous tests indicate that "Three Kingdoms: Watching the Divine Land" has a high level of completion. It is expected to officially launch its public beta soon. Players interested in this game are encouraged to visit the official website to pre-register for the public beta and receive numerous reservation rewards prepared by the developers, allowing them to dive into the game world as soon as it goes live!
