In China there is a legend about the mighty Huangdi, the Yellow
Emperor, who lived about 3000 BC. He waged war against two other
powerful monarchs, Yandi and Chiyou, fighting for control over China.
After a long time, the power of Yandi was reduced, and Chiyou
disappeared, allowing Huangdi to become the emperor. But the war was
not over. For centuries and millennia later it continued, taking
different shapes - blood, battles and ambitions of warlocks would not
end. In the Three Kingdoms era, 3rd century AD, the ancient war was
revived once again. And so the seventeen-year-old boy Ji Xuan,
proficient in sword fighting, and his older sister Ji Shuang, a master
of demon-summoning, found themselves involved in a great conflict that
will soon change their lives forever...
"Huanxiang Sanguozhi", meaning
Fantasy Story of Three Kingdoms,
is based on historical events, featuring famous characters from the
Three Kingdoms epoch, which became so popular in Asia thanks to Luo
Guanzhong's classic novel. But the game gives a different
interpretation to the story, involving fictional and supernatural
characters and themes that were absent in other adaptations of the
saga. The game plays like a traditional Asian RPG. You can set your
combat style to be entirely turn-based, or with active time element,
like in Final Fantasy games. The battles are viewed from isometric
perspective, while navigation through the game world is done from a
regular third person view. The enemies are visible in hostile areas,
but appear randomly on the world map. The game allows you to choose
between three difficulty levels.
