About the Game

Total War: THREE KINGDOMS is the first in the multi award-winning strategy series to recreate epic conflict across ancient China. Combining a gripping turn-based campaign game of empire-building, statecraft and conquest with stunning real-time battles, Total War: THREE KINGDOMS redefines the series in an age of heroes and legends.



China in 190CE

Welcome to a new era of legendary conquest.

This beautiful but fractured land calls out for a new emperor and a new way of life. Unite China under your rule, forge the next great dynasty, and build a legacy that will last through the ages.
Choose from a cast of 12 legendary Warlords and conquer the realm. Recruit heroic characters to aide your cause and dominate your enemies on military, technological, political, and economic fronts.

Will you build powerful friendships, form brotherly alliances, and earn the respect of your many foes? Or would you rather commit acts of treachery, inflict heart-wrenching betrayals, and become a master of grand political intrigue?

Your legend is yet to be written, but one thing is certain: glorious conquest awaits.

ANCIENT CHINA RECREATED





Discover Three Kingdoms China, a land of breath-taking natural beauty. Battle across lush subtropics, arid deserts and snow-capped mountains. Marvel at legendary landmarks like the Great Wall of China and the Yangtze River. Explore the length and breadth of ancient China as you restore harmony to its embattled landscape.

CHINA’S GREATEST LEGENDS





Forge a new empire as one of 12 legendary Warlords drawn from China’s celebrated historical epic, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Peerless commanders, powerful warriors and eminent statesmen, these characters each have a unique playstyle and objectives. Recruit an epic supporting cast of heroes to command your armies, govern your provinces and strengthen your growing empire. Characters are the beating heart of the game, and China’s very future will be shaped by its champions.

GUANXI SYSTEM





Modelled on Guanxi, the Chinese concept of dynamic inter-relationships, Total War: THREE KINGDOMS takes a paradigm-shifting approach to character agency, with iconic, larger-than-life heroes and their relationships defining the future of ancient China. Each of these characters is brought to life with their own unique personality, motivations, and likes/dislikes. They also form their own deep relationships with each other, both positive and negative, that shape how your story plays out.

ARTISTIC PURITY





With stunning visuals and flamboyant Wushu combat, THREE KINGDOMS is the art of war. With beautiful UI, vibrant vistas and authentic Chinese-inspired artwork, this reimagining of ancient China is a visual feast.

REAL-TIME & TURN-BASED HARMONY





The turn-based campaign and real-time battles of Total War: THREE KINGDOMS are more interconnected than ever before. Actions in battle now have much greater consequences, affecting your Heroes’ relationship towards you, as well as the friendships and rivalries they develop with other characters. In a world where powerful allies are one of the keys to success, this adds a brand-new element to how victory is achieved.

One of the good TW titles, had a blast with it. However when picking it up after a little over a year i get a black screen on launch. Google reveals this is a known issue, never fixed, tried almost the full drill (verify files, update driver, compatibility modes, restart, reinstall ...) but still unplayable. Uninstalled. Don't recommend. Note to self: do not reward providers that fail to fix faulty software, never buy again from sega/cs.

This game might be good but I've never really been able to get it to function or run properly. I've tried on three different systems over the last couple years and the best I got out of it was maybe 50 hours while constantly having to restart my PC because of freezes. Now, the game is freezing every single time on the splash screen on launch. Every. Single. Time. There is no support offered for this game. Don't waste your time or money the developers are incompetent scam artists pumping out half finished games every year.

This game has such depth to it, it surpasses every single RTS game be it total war or not in terms of complexity in every way, shape or form. I have about 100 hours in it, and i already fell in love with how many ways I can play a campaign, the 100 hours is going to turn into 1000+ easily overtime. Not to mention the modding community that I haven't even checked out, that adds a ton more content. 10/10 RTS game, i see why after it had been abandoned and a few years later, people still play this game, 10k+ concurrent players every day.

feels so arcadey and un-immsersive compared to other games in the franchise like Shogun or Rome 2.

My family estate suddenly decreased from 3k to 2k, which ppl say it's a bug; I've picked a reform that promise me a +1 available administrator, which didn't happen in my current game, but I believe did happen in my previous game. These look like bugs, and they ruined my games. either the game has too much bugs, or it has too less explanation. Also the mechanics are not mature.

I have only played vanilla game, and judging by how low the review score of DLC content is I doubt I will even buy them. That being said, game is great, and Three Kingdoms period is amazing. Cao Cao is absolute GOAT.

Absolutely love Total War: Three Kingdoms! It's a stunning blend of deep strategy, rich storytelling, and beautiful visuals set in ancient China. The characters feel real, the relationships matter, and every battle is intense and rewarding. Whether you're leading a noble coalition or conquering solo, the gameplay is engaging from start to finish.

Just shit. The interface is not confusing, it's UNUSABLE. The battles aren't "hard", they're BORING. 90% of time is spent doing sieges that are badly balanced. The meta-game is shit. There is no manual to explain game mechanics. Honestly wanted to love it, but it's just utterly terrible.

The game offers fascinating diplomacy and internal fraction features as well as two different game mods and poetic Chinese atmosphere. Probably, one of my favorite CA's alongside Shogun 2
