About Total War: THREE KINGDOMS

About this game

12 Legendary Warlords, 3 kingdoms, 1 epic strategy game

Glorious conquest awaits in Creative Assembly’s latest action strategy Steam PC game Total War: THREE KINGDOMS. With this Steam PC key, players will experience the first in the multi-award-winning strategy series to recreate epic conflict across ancient China. Embark on a gripping turn-based campaign game of empire-building, statecraft and conquest with stunning real-time battles.

UNITE OR GO IT ALONE
Redefining the series in an age of heroes and legends, THREE KINGDOMS takes place in 190CE China, featuring beautiful but fractured lands that are calling out for a new emperor, and a new way of life. Forge the next great dynasty, and build a legacy that will last through the ages.

Players can build powerful friendships, form brotherly alliances, and earn the respect of your many foes. Build strong relationships as a united nation - or commit acts of treachery, inflict heart-wrenching betrayals, and become a master of grand political intrigue.

12 LORDS ARE LURKING
Choose from 12 legendary Warlords and prepare to conquer the realm. Recruit heroic characters to aide your cause and dominate your enemies on military, technological, political, and economic fronts.

Select powerful commanders, warriors and eminent statesmen – each with their own unique playstyle and objectives – and recruit a cast of heroes to command your armies, govern your provinces and strengthen your growing empire.

ANCIENT CHINA BROUGHT TO LIFE
The breathtaking natural beauty of ancient China is brought back to life with Creative Assembly’s powerful game engine. Battle across lush subtropics, arid deserts and snow-capped mountains - and marvel at legendary landmarks like the Great Wall of China and the Yangtze River.

GUANXI SYSTEM
Modeled on Guanxi, the Chinese concept of dynamic inter-relationships, Total War: THREE KINGDOMS takes a paradigm-shifting approach to character agency, with iconic, larger-than-life heroes and their relationships defining the future of ancient China. Each of these characters is brought to life with their own unique personality, motivations, and likes/dislikes. They also form their own deep relationships with each other, both positive and negative, that shape how your story plays out.

ARTISTIC PURITY
With stunning visuals and flamboyant Wushu combat, THREE KINGDOMS is the art of war. Experience beautiful UI, vibrant vistas and authentic Chinese-inspired artwork, this reimagining of ancient China is a visual feast.

REAL-TIME & TURN-BASED HARMONY
Witness the most interconnected campaigns and battles that Total War has than ever before. Actions in battle now have much greater consequences, affecting your Heroes’ relationship towards you, as well as the friendships and rivalries they develop with other characters.

In a world where powerful allies are one of the keys to success, this adds a brand-new element to how victory is achieved.

YOUR OFFICIAL TOTAL WAR: THREE KINGDOMS STEAM KEY GIVES YOU:

  • Large-scale historical battles
  • Stunning visuals in an ancient China setting
  • Latest turn-based action strategy in the multi-award-winning Total War series

While CA did abandon the game, it is not dead or a buggy mess thanks to the amazing modding community. You will need to get Alex Zhao's bug fix mod.

Staff Review
Creative Assembly's latest installment in the award-winning Total War franchise sees players head to ancient China to battle for supremacy across the three kingdoms. You'll be in awe of the beautiful landscapes and landmarks, and equally impressed by the game's interconnecting turn-based campaign and brutal real-time battles.

A wonderful mix of Total War and the classic Romance of the Three Kingdoms series, this game blends a great strategy series with a role-playing-lite mechanic which brings the RTK heroes and stories to life. This helps to elevate it in a way that evokes the feel of the larger than life characters captured in the traditional novels.
