Total War: THREE KINGDOMS Reviews

This game is underrated the best total war variant so far. The diplomacy in this game is the best I seen in any game I have played so far. It literally decides the fight.

its honestly so much fun, really poor move by CA to not see this one through to the end. Mods will fix most of the issues and deficiencies.

Never played other Total War games aside from this one. I picked this up on sale since it was in the Three Kingdoms era and I really loved it. Spent hours playing campaigns with different playstyles, sometimes going to war with everyone or convincing everyone to become my vassal through diplomacy. Plus once you get tired of the unique characters and units the game normally offers, you can get mods to add more or overhaul the game. I do have a few complaints about the game though, sometimes the game gets softlocked on a diplomacy screen during an AI's turn, so you gotta go back to the autosave at the end of your turn. also tabbing out while the game is loading gets me stuck with a black screen unless I play windowed. Though this last issue mainly happens cause I sit in discord calls chatting while playing this game. Recommend this to anyone who likes Three Kingdoms or RTS, can't say much about 4x cause this is the only 4x strategy game I have put this much time into.

Great game if you're willing to watch the empire you spent a month building come crashing down in one turn because your main army got obliterated in an ambush.

Easily the most stable and enjoyable total war title. Also has a blend of fantasy to realism depending on whether you play records or romance. I'm sad this got dropped as quickly as it did, but this title deserves a lot more recognition and love then it gets. If your looking for a genuinely enjoyable total war with a stable modding and base game experience then look no further. Maybe we'll see the day we get another gem like this total war title.

pretty fun although i think the bandit factions need a rework they kind of suck

Game has a bit of a learning curve as I've never played a total war game before. The was overall very fun and hard for me to put down and stop playing. Would definitely recommend especially if your a fan of the three kingdoms era.

An inferior Total War: Shogun with blobby combat and unresponsive units - Which is par for the course for modern total war. Something strange happened to the Total War franchise after the engine change i Total War Rome 2. Suddenly every combat encounter is a bunch of segmented blobs with no coherency. Nothing is different in Total War Three Kingdoms. This means you can pretty much segment Total War into the good games before the engine change and the bad ones after. The unit and faction variety is about the same as in Total War Shogun, with the addition of 'Hero Characters' like in Total War Warhammer. These hero characters are overpowered and add to the problem of just blobbing everything together. Supposedly this game has the best diplomacy of any Total War and with a proper 'End Game'. This seems to be a lie. The end game is the same as every other Total War in that a 'Realm Divide' happens which makes every faction hate you. If you're someone who likes modern Total War this game is more of the same but now with chinese people. If you're used to quality and have played the older games, then this is an inferior product.

what shame it is really good game but the DLCs dev messed up so bad, imagine you are a jeweller you are surrounded by gold silver diamonds and everything that is precious that could make humans spend money on, yet you decided yo give them rocks. but whats more even worse is CA deciding to kill the game when it is the best selling game(guys i also thought total war wh3 was NO.1 but i checked the Chinese Total 3K is massive there). the only reason the game is getting Neg reviews is because of the DLCs and some people dont know how to play.

I love everything Total War, yet I have no interest in ancient chinese history or stories from history. I still played a lot of hours in Three Kingdoms which should be a glowing positive for the game. Each faction has a different mechanics and some quests during the conquest of China which makes the gameplay for each faction always fun and fresh. Yeah the setting is probably the least interesting for me among all Total War games but I still had decent amount of fun to recommend this one.
