Koei Tecmo unveils Three Kingdoms Heroes, a new mobile entry in their acclaimed Three Kingdoms franchise. This chess and shogi-inspired battler features iconic figures from the Three Kingdoms period, each with unique abilities and strategic options.
The game's captivating art style and epic storytelling will resonate with longtime fans. However, its innovative turn-based board game mechanics may also entice newcomers to the series. Players will command a diverse roster of historical characters, employing a wide array of skills and tactical maneuvers.
But the real highlight is the GARYU AI system. Developed by HEROZ, the creators of the world champion shogi AI, dlshogi, GARYU promises a challenging and adaptive opponent unlike any seen before. This AI's proven track record of outsmarting top grandmasters makes it a compelling selling point. While the comparison to Deep Blue and its controversies are acknowledged, the prospect of a truly lifelike and strategic AI opponent is undeniably intriguing.
The game's release is slated for January 25th of next year. The sophisticated GARYU AI is a key differentiator, offering a unique and challenging experience within a familiar historical setting.
