Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIV is based on a traditional story of the same name about three kingdoms that are trying to rule China. Conquer new territories and expand your empire in this strategy management videogame by recruiting officers into your army, creating campaigns and dispersing units to multiple regions.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIV is a strategy game garnished with RPG elements which allows you to make allies, fight one-on-one duels and create officers that aren’t in the original story. Developed by Koei Tecmo who’ve created other titles including Dynasty Warriors and Warriors Orochi 4 have created a lavish management system that includes a world map and various different characters to control.

Characters can be assigned to different aspects of city life from agriculture to the cities military. When you expand your controlled territory you can assign an overseer to promote the development of that region and increase gold income. This videogame offers a complex strategy management system that deals with the social and economic issues of everyday life.

However, the role-playing elements look thin and this game might be better suited to anyone who enjoys such videogames as Kingdom or Veil of Crows. That being said, Romance of the Three Kingdoms series are niche titles that offer a different take on traditional RPGs with a greater emphasis on managing your Kingdom than dialogue options.

The combat elements can be automated and there’s a realtime tactical mode which allows you to control your army over large swaths of terrain. If your looking for detailed combat then this videogame is probably too simplistic as it looks like it lacks depth beyond the normal maneuvering of your forces during combat.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIV will release on February 28, 2020
