Over the last few decades, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms series has established itself as one of the mainstays in the grand strategy genre. Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 reaffirms that reputation by delivering a solid and engaging game that you can easily sink a ton of time into. Of course, being a remake, the game has already proven its worth in the past, but it’s great to see just how well it holds up without the bells and whistles that more recent entries have added. The visual presentation is a bit of a letdown, and we’d have preferred Chinese voice acting, but ultimately, this is definitely a game worth checking out if you’re a fan of the genre.

Critic reviews
- 8.0Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake é um bom jogo de estratégia com sistemas muito funcionais e intuitivos, acessível para novatos e rica para veteranos, além de um excelente uso de sua ambientação. O título faz jus não só ao jogo original, mas eleva ainda mais todo o legado da histórica franquia a que pertence.
- 8.0Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 is lovingly remade with much-needed convenience features, making this perhaps the best in the entire series. The worst thing about it is the omission of multiplayer. If you don't mind that, you have a meaty strategy game with over 1,000 playable officers and more scenarios than you can possibly ever want.
- 8.0Romance of the Three Kingdoms, à travers le remake de son huitième épisode, livre sûrement son opus le plus complet. Avec une base solide, des fonctionnalités améliorées et revues, et une telle richesse globale, sans oublier les tales qui nous laissent la main sur notre progression, ce sont des heures et des heures de jeu qui nous attendent. A condition de ne pas être effrayé par un panel si riche de fonctionnalités et surtout de maîtriser l’anglais, car Romance of the Three Kingdoms étant très bavard, il est impératif d’assimiler chacune des composantes pour profiter pleinement du voyage.
- 7.0Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake is a great way to test the waters of Koei Tecmo's long-running historical simulation series. It can be initially overwhelming and a little unwieldy at times, but the remake offers a return to a seminal entry in the series and one of the deepest and most intricate strategy games available on PS5 and PS4 to date.
- Nevertheless, Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 has a lot going for it. Thanks to the “Tales” feature it’s possibly the most accessible RoTK game to date, easing players in by giving them a clear set of targets to prioritise. Once you’re comfortable with that the depth of strategy and a staggering array of ways to play make for a deep experience with dozens upon dozens of historical play. I still find it odd that Koei Tecmo decided to remake this game, but ultimately I’m glad that it happened.
