Game description

A tactical role-playing take on the Three Kingdoms, following Cao Cao's campaigns across scripted battles.

Curated guide

Why this version

This is a Chinese-developed Famicom title built in the style of Koei's tactical Three Kingdoms games rather than an official Koei release.

How to approach it

Plan for longer sittings. Turn-based campaigns move slowly, so save in-game after each battle or turn cycle and avoid clearing site data between sessions.

This Famicom tactical role-playing game follows Cao Cao's campaigns through a series of grid-based battles. Officers gain experience between engagements, so unit preservation matters more than in a pure strategy game.
