Steam reviews

What players say

Players who like Battle Brothers-style party building and Three Kingdoms settings mostly recommend it, but grind, clunky combat and unpolished menus hold it back.

Most players who recommend the game praise its Three Kingdoms setting, its large roster of named historical generals and the freedom to build a custom character or a band of mercenaries. Many enjoy the Battle Brothers-like loop of recruiting, equipping and leveling units, and some like that battles can run automatically. Complaints centre on repetitive procedural quests, heavy grinding, and combat that feels imprecise or overly RTS-like, with some reviewers finding auto-targeting frustrating. Many also find managing large armies tedious because inventory, equipment and skill allocation take too long. Some players report bugs, crashes and performance drops with large squads, and a few mention weak or incomplete translation. Recent reviews are more mixed than Steam's overall very positive rating, with more complaints about balance and difficulty spikes. Some players say the game has potential and that updates are welcome, while others find the early hours unclear.

Criticised

    Players find procedural missions, fetch tasks and long leveling repetitive, with progress slowing down in the mid and late game.

    Many players
  • Tedious unit and inventory management

    Large armies make leveling, equipping and inventory handling slow; players ask for auto-equip, auto-level and better filters.

    Many players
  • Clunky or imprecise combat

    Players report unresponsive controls, attacks overshooting targets, poor enemy pathing and combat that feels slow or basic.

    Many players
  • Bugs, crashes and performance

    Some players
Who it suits
Players who enjoy Battle Brothers-style party building, Three Kingdoms history and long grinding sessions with large rosters.
Who should skip it

Short vs. long playtime: Players under 20 hours are split and often mention early confusion or slow starts, while those with 20 to 200 hours mostly recommend it despite grind and management complaints.
