The latest work in the "Three Kingdoms Matchless" series, "True Three Kingdoms Matchless 8: Empire", was released a few days ago, but no one cared. Released 5 days on Steam, there are only a few 400+ reviews, and a striking "mixed reviews".
But it is no wonder, because two years ago, the ambitious "True Three Kingdoms Matchless 8" that was made into an open world suffered a major overturn, and bad reviews on multiple platforms were overwhelming, and the reputation that "True Three 7 Fierce Generals" had accumulated was destroyed at one time.
More eye-catching "mostly bad reviews"
Now there is no need to analyze what went wrong with "True Three 8", in the end, I think "Peerless" as a way of playing is heading for a dead end. In the previous ps2 period, due to functional limitations, the number of enemies on the same screen was no more than a dozen people at most, and the desire to attack was relatively high, but there was a pleasure of fighting in the real battlefield.
The previous generations of the Three Kingdoms were quite hardcore
Later, the performance of the game console became better and better, and the number of enemies on the same screen could easily break through 100 people. In order to balance the difficulty, the creep AI of the follow-up works became more and more mentally retarded, and most of them stood still like wooden stakes at the highest difficulty, which gradually became a veritable lawn mowing game.
More enemies, more boring AI
I think Glory probably realized that this trend of the times was irreversible and simply chose to give up treatment. Players generally complain that the content of "True Three 8 Empire" is even less than the previous work, and the only advantage is that there are more little sisters who are haunting.
The gameplay of "True Three 8 Empires" is like this, the opening player can choose a warrior (including a face-pinching character) to enter the chaotic world as a divided force, imperial general or monarch.
Tifa, who arrived late but arrived
Compared with orthodox strategy games such as Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Nobunaga's Wild Hope, the strategy system of Shinzo 8 Empire is quite monotonous, and the gameplay is similar regardless of the origin.
However, the "interpersonal communication" system of this work is particularly rich. It's not just about loyalty or favorability, it's really about allowing you to socialize with other characters and form different relationships like friends, brothers, and even couples.
You can play Go with NPCs (being thrown off the table):

Fall in love with every valeminaire:
Even if you get married and have children, the next generation that is born will inherit some of the attributes of their parents.
It's getting outrageous
What's even more grassy is that because players can freely choose the protagonist and the target of the strategy, we can see Sun Quan & Sun Shangxiang, Sima Yi & Huang Yueying, Guan Yu & Guan Yinping and other extremely outrageous CP pile up, turning the good Three Kingdoms into an ancient Greek ethical drama.

There is no gender restriction, in addition to female postings, you can also see Dong Zhuo and Xu Zhu staged "blue life and death love"...

Of course, these did not make "True Three 8 Empires" a rave of praise, nor did they make the series great again. They are a good talking point for players after dinner, but the proportion of content is not enough to support a complete game.
However, I think Glory can consider borrowing from "Persona 5" and doing more daily gameplay outside of mowing. After all, this year's matchless game really has no market, so give full play to the glorious and strongest face pinching system, maybe it can burst out a wonderful chemical reaction.
