The value story
Across all 14 discounts in the 2 years tracked, the median cut is 40 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.
It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS XIV ($59.99, scores 10) outscores it, and so does Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI with Power Up Kit ($39.99, scores 86). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say
While I enjoyed Rotk XIII far more, I love the controller support for this being on pc and hope it continues. English dub would also be great so can feel like an updated Dynasty Tactics game and some character designs in that were also grand. I don't care for how Lord Lu Bu was done as he looks insane, whereas in 13 he was just dynasty warriors-esque. The time moves odd in this game as in 13 you can do a lot in one...

Recommended with the caveat that it's relatively simple compared to ROTK XIII (the latest 'any officer' game in the series besides this one). It is also not a particularly difficult or challenging game on any difficulty setting. However, the Action Point system is generally compelling and good for encouraging strategic balance across personal and force development. It looks good, plays speedily, and the core...
It's just repetitive and not fun; you're always doing the same thing over and over. The combat is boring too, and it can only be activated once every three months. The rest of the time you're just building relationships with other NPCs, and even that becomes very repetitive.
