This simulation game is set in the "Three Kingdoms" period which spanned the second and third centuries AD, during which three heroes emerged from the chaos of the Chinese Han Dynasty to form their own separate kingdoms. Select a scenario from a timeline that stretches from the Yellow Turban Rebellion of 184 to the "Three Kingdoms Period" when the Wu, Wei, and Shu forces vied with each other for control of China.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms VIII retains a popular feature of the previous title in the series--the ability to play as any Officer. New aspects include personal relationships between characters, such as "Marriage" and "Sworn Brother," which bring each Officer vividly to life. A multitude of events means the game can be played again and again with little repetition in the storylines--even when playing as the same Officer.
