  Although there are some questionable mechanics and odd issues on the side, Total War: Three Kingdoms - A World Betrayed manages to excite and challenge you, all while adding refreshing features via a free update. If you only need to choose one Total War: Three Kingdoms DLC, A World Betrayed definitely surpasses Mandate of Heaven and Eight Princes.

  Truth be said, I enjoyed A World Betrayed more than the previous 3K DLC. The more emotional and dichotomy thematic makes it for a tight and well centered expansion that is vastly more interesting than random people doing random things, and Sun Ce’s luck mechanic was highly pleasant to play with (once you get past the existential dread of an immediate death literally caused by “Chinese dude ran out of luck”).

  Total War: Three Kingdoms - A World Betrayed is another fascinating addition to the main campaign for those who are still obsessed with this wonderful strategy title. Adding an important part of the story, and introducing some fan-favourite characters and scenarios, The Creative Assembly has once again vindicated this DLC approach.

  While A World Betrayed is not as expansive as Mandate of Heaven’s prequel expansion, it adds two new factions that play completely different from any other in the game so far. If you love 3K and could use a more novel experience on your next playthrough, definitely give A World Betrayed a try.

  7.0

  While the starring wayward sons of A World Betrayed offer flavourful and dynamic new campaigns, neither quite manages to leave the shadow of the dramatically different playstyles in the Mandate of Heaven DLC.

  7.0

  Total War: Three Kingdoms’ sprawling, highly addictive strategic gameplay has quite rightly garnered plenty of fans. And frankly, any new excuse to literally lose yourself in its world of combat and politics is a welcome one. A World Betrayed might not be the best DLC this title has to offer, but it certainly provides enough new content to justify its existence in the Three Kingdoms family.
