Romance of The Three Kingdoms XIV

"The grand historical strategy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms has had a rocky history. At its best, it is a dramatic, frantic, and tense strategy game that can compete with the best. At its worst, it focuses on dull …"

"The best word to describe this? Lacking."

"If you like games like Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia then you will most likely enjoy Romance of the Three Kingdoms, if you are a fan of the previous versions then this may well tickle your fancy."

"It would not be fair to harp on a series for sticking to a formula that works; however Romance of Three Kingdoms XIV seems to eschew innovations in its own series for stagnant and cumbersome gameplay effectively for no reason …"

"A grand turn-based strategy that seeks to find the Goldilocks zone but misses the mark"

"Eschewing role-playing aspects, depth, and fan-favorite features in favor of simplified pause-and-play automation, ridiculous map-painting mechanics, and lackluster strategic options, Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIV is one of the most disappointing offerings from Koei Tecmo&s;s popular franchise. It&s;s the …"

"There&s;s a satisfying strategy experience to be had here though one that comes with quite the learning curve. Even once you have a grip on the basics, tangling with ROTK&s;s new grid-based system and overall pacing can often put a …"

"There is some fun to be had here, but for me at least it quickly became tedious."

"The latest instalment in a long-running strategy series, Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIV feels like a full-priced budget title. It&s;s functional and at times entertaining, but lacks the depth or variety of other games in the genre."
