- Koei Tecmo has announced a new entry in their Three Kingdoms franchise with Heroes
- A chess and shogi-inspired battler, it sees you taking on opponents using individual abilities
- But perhaps the biggest selling point is the challenging GARYU AI system
As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for strategy games and a soft spot for Chinese history, particularly the Three Kingdoms period, I can’t help but feel a surge of excitement at Koei Tecmo’s latest announcement – Three Kingdoms Heroes. With its chess and shogi-inspired gameplay, individual abilities for characters, and the tantalizing promise of the challenging GARYU AI system, it’s like they’ve crafted a game tailored specifically to my interests.
The Three Kingdoms period in Chinese history is captivating, whether you admire the tales of courage and strategy depicted in Arthurian legends or find the efforts to separate fact from myth in this almost legendary era particularly intriguing. This era has served as a rich source of inspiration for interactive media. Among developers delving into it extensively is Koei Tecmo, renowned for their strategic game series, and they’re now bringing more action to mobile with Three Kingdoms Heroes!
For enthusiasts of this series, the characteristic art style and expansive, dramatic storytelling remain present. However, if you’ve hesitated to dive in before, Three Kingdom Heroes might be the most enticing starting point for the franchise. This turn-based strategy game, influenced by shogi and chess, offers a vast array of abilities and tactics used by well-known figures from the Three Kingdoms era.
Among the exciting aspects of the upcoming release, due on January 25th next year, what really stands out isn’t the array of visual, auditory, or gameplay elements. Instead, it’s the captivating GARYU system – a sophisticated in-game AI designed to learn and engage in combat with you, offering an almost realistic opponent experience.
The only way to win is not to play
Without a doubt, it’s GARYU that grabbed my attention here, and though I usually approach AI-related claims with caution, HEROZ is the developer behind it. They are also the creators of dlshogi, an AI that has been dominating shogi for two years in a row. According to reports, this system even managed to outsmart some of the top grandmasters in shogi.
To put it simply, it’s not always straightforward, given the debate surrounding whether or not Deep Blue truly qualifies as a “grandmaster.” However, for someone who loves history and is particularly fond of strategic games like chess, the idea of playing against an intelligent and formidable opponent, one that mirrors human-like intelligence, is undeniably appealing.
