Great game. However, how are you going to call this three kingdoms and only support two people in an online campaign.

Three Kingdoms has, in my opinion, the best campaign mechanics in the Total War series. Diplomacy actually matters. Characters have personalities, relationships influence politics, and building an empire feels just as important as winning battles. Every campaign creates memorable stories rather than simply painting the map your color. The downside is that campaigns can become very long, especially once you've established a strong kingdom. If you mainly play Total War for constant battles, the pacing may feel slower than games like Napoleon or Shogun 2. But if you enjoy strategy beyond the battlefield, Three Kingdoms is easily one of Creative Assembly's finest achievements. Highly recommended.

Total War: Three Kingdoms is one of the best Total War games I’ve played. The setting is awesome, the characters actually feel important, and the diplomacy system is way better than in a lot of older Total War titles. Every campaign feels like you’re building your own story, whether you’re uniting China through war, alliances, betrayal, or careful politics. The battles are fun, the campaign map is beautiful, and the faction leaders all have enough personality to make replaying worth it. I especially like how generals and relationships matter instead of just being random units on the map. It’s not perfect, but the overall experience is extremely solid. If you like strategy games, historical settings, or just want a Total War game with strong campaign depth, Three Kingdoms is absolutely worth playing. Recommended.

f*ck all the negative reviews, this game is amazing, and it still runs and plays better than 99% of all other historical titles. As well, it is hands down the goat of all historical total wars in terms of map size, mechanics, legendary lords and heroes, factions, campaigns, complexity, unit variety, etc.

This game when it first came out was honestly somewhat of a disappointment. It had some great ideas but it just wasn’t quite there. However in 2026 it has truly become my favorite total war game. If you love the three kingdoms period this is an incredible game! I highly suggest people if you do get it play it with mods (check out the new general collection). While a lot don’t have English support honestly the sheer level of quality and enthusiasm the modders have is incredible they have completely changed the game! Just an example with the new general collection it adds tons of new characters/events/skills/models/units/difficulty it’s incredible. It reminds me a lot of the DEI mod for Rome 2 with its scale. I just started a new Lu Bu campaign and it’s become my favorite campaign so far. I’m constantly desperately fighting to survive, having to make real strategic decisions every turn and trying to use Lu Bu and his retinue under constant pressure to desperately hold on. It has been so much fun actually having the ai gang up on me and make smarter choices both on the campaign and in battles rather than just steam rolling the ai every campaign. Incredible game and incredible mod it’s awesome I highly recommend it! While the mods in the playlist do not have English support it really is fine 70% of the game is still English and most of the Chinese is recognizable sentences after a few turns. For the rest just use a translator (I use the one on my phone) for the events and such. Can’t recommend the game and the mod playlist enough. If you love the three kingdoms period, or want really fun unique characters that actually form relationships with the rest of the characters based off of how you play, or just want a great rts/strategy game this is the game for you!
