How it feels

A slow-burning, politically charged simulation where you navigate treacherous alliances and manage an unreliable clique in a chaotic historical setting.

What players say

Players like the Warlord China theme but find the game obtuse. Combat results are unexplained and AI aggression is too high. Controls are limited to seven characters and there is little story, which makes it feel like a stripped-down Civilization.
