Koei Tecmo and Kou Shibusawa revealed new details about features and battle mechanics found in Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake, including officer relationships, ambushes, traps, and the Conscript feature.
Firstly, players may use the Parliament feature to “March” their troops in an invasion and “Adjust” units for battle. Players will also make decisions on leaders, deputies, and other factors in their campaign, including troop type, siege weapons, and ships, to traverse the world.
Conscript in Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake will play a big role in domestic affairs and strategies. Soldiers will gradually increase based on the draft population during each season. If players need more soldiers, the Conscript feature may be used to increase the soldier pool. However, this may lead to public unrest or rebellion as public order falls. Schemes and strategies may be used to alleviate this consequence.
Traps may be setup to catch incoming armies off guard, and players may use ambushes by placing their own armies out of the line of sight in areas like forests. Defensive capabilities may be bolstered by using buildings and other facilities like watchtowers and gates. The returning “Tactics” feature has also been upgraded, with adjusted balance and categories increasing from 15 to over 40.
In battle, the Strategem feature has a wide-reaching impact, and the Link Forged element makes friendly officers perform more efficiently in battle. Officers with unique battle traits, like Guan Yu, can create dramatic scenarios akin to the Battle of Chibi.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake releases October 24 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam. Read up on Final Weapon’s review of Kou Shibusawa’s latest release, Nobunaga’s Ambition: Awakening, below:
