Brothers, I wandered into the Seven Altar Dimensions today, and my eyes lit up when I saw this "Doujin Holy Three Kingdoms Shu Han Biography". To be honest, as a veteran who has played on red and white consoles, I haven't touched a board game for a long time, but this game suddenly reminded me of the time when I was squatting in front of the TV and playing "Fire Emblem" and "Royal Knights" as a child. There were no smart phones at that time, and a cassette could keep me busy for the whole summer. I could play it again and again, and I couldn't bear to delete files.
Today's mobile games are good, but they always feel like they're missing something. You can draw cards, make money, and take turns in activities at every turn, playing games just like working. But at first glance, this Holy Three Kingdoms Shu Han Dynasty is a stand-alone work with no charge, the plot and battlefield advance on two lines, and you can also learn historical knowledge - isn't this what our generation felt when we were young when we played "Swallowing the World" and "The Legend of Cao Cao"? I think back then, I saved two months of breakfast money just to play "The Heroes of the Three Kingdoms" for an extra half hour in the computer room.
Many young people today may not know how popular war chess games were in the 1990s. At that time, there was no automatic path-finding or one-click sweep. Every step had to be carefully calculated, with conflicting arms, terrain bonuses, and treasure matching. It was all about strategy. This Shu Han Dynasty retains the foundation of old-fashioned war chess, and adds a more modern interface and plot performance. Old players can regain their feelings and new players can easily get started. I played two levels and found that a general training system has been added, which is a bit like "Fantasy Simulated War", but not that complicated.
Having said that, the gaming industry has changed a lot in recent years. From cassette discs to cloud games, from arcades to online games, the graphics are getting better and better, but many gameplays are becoming more and more similar. It's really rare to see a team like this that honestly does stand-alone chess and doesn't engage in in-app purchases. Chengdu Xinyue Huyuyu, the name sounds quite young, and I respect them as men for being able to insist on doing such retro themes.
Finally, if you think you are a fan of the Three Kingdoms, or want to experience a chess game that is fun without spending money, give this game a try. Anyway, I have started to collect treasure illustrations. Liu Bei's double swords and red rabbit horse are very exciting to think about😎
