Every deployment of your forces is a test of your wisdom and courage.
Transcend the boundaries of nations and factions to assemble your ultimate team freely. Witness Lü Bu and Guan Yu fighting side by side, or have Diaochan and the Qiao sisters unleash their charm together on the same stage. Here, you can recruit the greatest, whether for their strength or their beauty.

We are an independent Chinese development team passionate about history and strategy games. During development, just finalizing the art style alone went through more than five iterations. For us, this process was both a series of sprints and a long-distance journey. We ran back and forth between realism and artistic expression multiple times before finally finding the path we're on now—a style that won't overwhelm you with heavy colors nor leave you unimpressed with faint lines.
It’s like a brilliant strategist in the midst of battle—not stealing the general’s spotlight, but stepping in at the key moment to bring the entire campaign to life.
The game is still in development, and we sincerely welcome your active feedback to help us keep improving. We plan to add more Three Kingdoms commanders in future updates, along with continuously developing new storylines for everyone to experience!
