"Whether it's Madden, Final Fantasy, or Romance of the Three Kingdoms, you have to respect a game series with releases numbering in the double digits, because it's a milestone that so few franchises reach. Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI is certainly a solid turn-based strategy game. The 11th game in the series does overhaul the basic gameplay mechanics, but the net effect of these changes is marginal. This is still a very dense, very slow, no-frills strategy game, but with a forgiving approach and enough time and patience, Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI can still be quite satisfying.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI once again lets you experience ancient Chinese history as told in the famous novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The historical setting is a perfect fit for a strategy game, because without a strong central government at the end of the Han dynasty, China is essentially up for grabs. This sets the stage for seemingly endless conflict among hundreds of officers and factions vying for dominance. It's up to you to take control of a force and do whatever it takes to unify China, which is a nice way of saying that you have to kill or otherwise subjugate all of the other forces on the map."
