New to the franchise

[Lup]

I love DW8 and Total war TK, the characters are very badass and strategy is cool but didn't like empire because there were no real strategy or big impact/choice in diplomacy to make things interesting..

Could I enjoy this game ? I'm new to this genre

[DoDonPachi]

i dont play total war but ive played all the dynasty warriors and samurai warriors empires games

Those games have very very simple systems compared to this series, really the strategy phase in those games is just there to make your officer more buff when you play a battle

In this series your actions outside of battles are more varied and have a much bigger impact

Doesn't hurt to try it , if you don't like it you can always refund . 2 hrs is enough to figure out if you wanna keep it or not . Start with the yellow turbans scenario . But if you really want to get into the ROTK series I think you should start with the older titles like the original VIII , X and XI . For me X (officer play) and XI (force play)will always be the best . GL HF

Total war Three kingdom is better in terms of overall game play. Battle, tactics, duels hero mechanics, formations. Strategy, economic and domestic development and most of all, DIPLOMACY!!!

While KOEI kinda pioneered the three kingdom strategy game trend. It never made any significant break thru in anything except character art work and rpg elements.

But these two are very different games. I would suggest, wait a few months for sales.

As for me, I am probably going to wait for a whole year or 2 and buy it during a proper sales price.

Why? Cos KOEI is crap selling 1990s game effort at today's 3AAA prices.

i'll try i hope it's good

If you like DW, ask yourself if you like DW Empire series.

This game will be basically more complex version of that, except battle is turn based game instead of hack and slash.

Played DW empire but didn't like it because strategy was meaningless

So, I want to try one of this games but the problem is there is alot of, and every one of then change something or focuses on something different, if someone could try to point me in a direction the only game I played in this type of series was Nobunaga's Ambition Rise to Power for the PS2 and it had a really good mix of city building, upgrading, recruiting officer and the battle was simple for me to be able to almost just rush without understanding much of the system the game had, at the time I didnt understand that well english
It had a good mix of open field battle, city invasion and castle invasion

And that is the kind of game I want to play (I wish for a Nobunaga's Ambition Rise to Power remake with better controls, playing on a controller is not that fun)

[Teralitha]

As long as you dont have anything to compare it to, I dont see why you couldnt like this game. But if you were to compare it to the original game, you would be disappointed.

Rise to Power is also my favorite Koei game.

This is the closest thing you will find to Rise to Power.

Not the battle, since this is turn based, but rest of the gameplay loop is quite similar to Rise to power. (going through counsel phase, then build phase)

Main different is that you are doing what you did in Rise to Power in officer perspective instead of just ruler perspective.

[MS-14A Gelgoog]

Yes If you enjoy kingdom management and visual novel games. I would say this game has the steepest learning curve out of all the most recent titles. However, the tutorial is really good and highly recommend you do it.

ROTK 14 is more accessible in my opinion and more action focused compared to ROTK 8 Remake.

[Dweller Beyond the Threshold]

You should play 14 instead if you prefer the strategy. Battle in this game isn't fun at all. Even 13's battle has more strategy and tactics involved.

Oh, its turn base the battle, that's different, like Civ? Did you play any of the other Nobunaga's game to compare with Rise to Power?

Will try to get this game in a sale, new games release are too expensive for me right now, R$300 while the minium wage is R$1.509 but everything else is SO MUCH more expensive

I did play other NA games, like Iron Triangle and Sphere of Influence, etc and didn't really like any of them. Rise to Power remains only NA game I enjoyed.

As for this game, no it is not like Civilization. Just imagine Rise to Power, except the real-time battle is replaced with typical turn based strategy RPG game like battle, such as Fire Emblem or Disgaea.
