Koei Tecmo unveils a new Three Kingdoms game: Heroes, a chess and shogi-inspired mobile battler. This title features individual character abilities and a challenging AI system that sets it apart.
The Three Kingdoms era, a rich tapestry of heroism and legend, has consistently captivated audiences. Koei Tecmo, a master of the genre, expands its reach with Three Kingdoms Heroes, offering a fresh perspective on this historical period. Fans will appreciate the familiar art style and epic storytelling, while newcomers will find an engaging entry point. This turn-based strategy game utilizes shogi and chess mechanics, allowing players to command famous Three Kingdoms figures with diverse abilities and strategies.
However, the real highlight is the innovative GARYU AI. Launching on January 25th, this AI, developed by HEROZ (creators of the champion dlshogi AI), promises a lifelike and challenging opponent. Its pedigree is impressive, having dominated the World Shogi Championships for two consecutive years.
While AI claims should be viewed with healthy skepticism (remember Deep Blue?), the GARYU AI's proven track record is compelling. For a historical period renowned for strategic brilliance, the prospect of facing such a formidable AI opponent is a significant draw.
