Koei Tecmo have shared details about the ‘Hero Mode’ that will be featured in their upcoming strategy game Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII.
The game is centred around the battles that led to the unification of China in the 2nd century, taught to players through comprehensive tutorials and historical simulation mode, Hero Mode.
“Players will be able to experience a story rich in Chinese history as they learn how best to utilize the game’s strategic gameplay and advanced game mechanics,” a press release stated. “Detailed CG cutscenes have been crafted to further immerse players in this historically-accurate tale that highlights the most heroic deeds of the strongest, wisest, and most powerful characters of the Three Kingdoms Era.”
The publisher also released a new trailer, seen above, which illustrates the political situation of the era: “The first half of the trailer covers the Oath of the Peach Garden, depicting the moment Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei made an oath to become sworn brothers. In the second half, players can view a scene from the Battle of Hulao Pass. The three sworn brothers, after joining the allied army to kill the tyrant Dong Zhuo, need to fight his most powerful officer, Lu Bu.”
