Total War: Three Kingdoms came at a time when the franchise was starting to look its age. The series has long been the go-to when it comes to strategic warfare.
Yet, in recent releases, the developer, Creative Assembly, has lost the ball a bit. The sequels to previous titles alluded to a series that had become stale. Meanwhile, experiments with Warhammer-themed games discouraged fans who wanted a return to historical settings.
Thanks to these problems, Total War: Three Kingdoms has the unenviable task of satisfying multiple fields at once: those who enjoyed fantasy rides and those who want pure history, old and new players.
Creative Assembly chose to do so by setting the 2019 title during the Three Kingdoms period of Chinese history. Historical facts and legendary elements of the 14th century Chinese novel The novel of the three kingdoms inspired the story, the setting and the characters.
Players take on the role of one of 12 warlords as the Han dynasty begins to collapse. From here, you have to form alliances and try to gain control of China. The game begins in 190 AD just as chaos begins to spread across the country and continues until 280 AD.
