Few developers know the turn-based strategy genre better than Koei, creator of classic franchises like Nobunaga’s Ambition and Uncharted Waters. The company’s approach to the genre is decidedly hardcore, and many of its titles focus on different periods of Chinese and Japanese history.
It’s an almost impenetrable combination for casual players, but many of Koei’s biggest franchises have seen dozens of successful sequels over the years. One of Koei’s most popular series, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, made its iPhone debut this week with the release of Romance of the Three Kingdoms Touch ($9.99).
Romance of the Three Kingdoms puts players in control of a sovereign in China during the second and third centuries. The object: crush all opposition. Choosing from a number of different playable warlords, players will guide an army through enemy territory in an attempt to claim as much land as possible.
Though Romance of the Three Kingdoms Touch features all the depth and complexity that defined all previous entries in the series, Koei has included a tutorial mode to ease new players into the experience. The game features five scenarios, and a total of 255 recruitable characters.
I’m still making my way through Civ Rev and Steel Sky, but this is definitely one to keep on the radar… any chance we’ll see a FingerGaming review?
