Koei Tecmo unveils Three Kingdoms Heroes, a new mobile entry in their renowned Three Kingdoms franchise. This chess and shogi-inspired battler features iconic figures from the Three Kingdoms period, each wielding unique abilities and strategies.
The game's captivating art style and epic storytelling will resonate with series veterans. However, its innovative gameplay mechanics make it an enticing entry point for newcomers. Players engage in turn-based board battles, employing a diverse range of skills and tactical maneuvers.
But the true highlight is the groundbreaking GARYU AI system. Developed by HEROZ, creators of the world-champion shogi AI dlshogi, GARYU promises an unprecedented level of challenge. This adaptive AI learns and evolves, providing a truly lifelike and engaging opponent.
GARYU's pedigree is impressive, having dominated the World Shogi Championships for two years and outmaneuvering top grandmasters. While comparisons to Deep Blue and similar AI controversies exist, the prospect of facing such a sophisticated opponent in a game steeped in strategic warfare is undeniably compelling. Three Kingdoms Heroes launches on January 25th.
