Twenty years of accumulation to achieve classics, orthodox mobile games to complete the glorious Three Kingdoms series of product ecology
As a "historical professional", the product ecology of Glory on PCs and hosts is very complete in terms of both theme and category. The Nobunaga Nobunaga series and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms series are known as the double of historical simulation games, and to this day they are still unparalleled classics. "The Decision of the Admiral", "The Legend of Taikoku Lizhi", "The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms" and other well-known works have built an "old glory" product matrix in the categories of war simulation, character simulation and strategic simulation.
In 2009, Glory merged with action game developer Tekumo to form Glorious Tekumo, and the subsequent action RPG masterpiece "Renwang" not only inherited Glory's profound skills in historical evidence, but also further enriched the "New Glory" game ecology and brought players a richer historical game experience.
But in the glorious thirty years of growth, the most pioneering product is undoubtedly the "True Three Kingdoms Matchless" series, which not only separates "Peerless" as an independent game category from action games, but also realizes the beautiful vision of "allowing more players to enjoy the thrill of combat".
Released in 2000, True Three Kingdoms Was originally developed and produced as a sequel to the fighting game "Three Kingdoms Matchless", but the development team hoped to innovate in gameplay, and coincided with the hardware enhancement brought about by the release of the PS2 console, so "True Three Kingdoms Matchless" was able to achieve better battlefield performance and more refreshing combat gameplay. The shocking experience of killing dozens of people on the same screen at one time made "True Three Kingdoms Matchless" stand out, thus opening the glorious era of the "Peerless" category.
After more than 20 years of development, the glorious "Peerless" territory not only covers the well-known original masterpieces such as "True Three Kingdoms Peerless" and "Warring States Peerless", but also expands the cooperation products such as "Gundam Peerless", "Zelda Peerless", "One Piece Pirate Matchless" and other "FOUNDRy" development through IP authorization. The mention of "peerless" will think of glory, which has become the general consensus of players.
However, on the mobile platform, due to functional limitations, there has never been a matchless ACT product that can meet the requirements of glorious and strict supervision. The long-term absence of the "True Three Kingdoms" mobile game has also made the "True Three" end gamers who have entered the era of mobile travel regret. With the continuous innovation of technology, under the authorization and supervision of the glorious Tkumo, the originator of the Peerless ACT, the original "True Three Kingdoms Peerless" was finally able to meet the player.
As a pioneer in exploring the track of the mobile game Peerless Category, the advent of "True Three Kingdoms Peerless" is of great significance. It not only brings a unique and peerless mowing experience for mobile game players, but also realizes the strategic completion of the glorious three-country ecology, so that the closed loop of the all-platform peerless product is finally formed. With the further vigorous development of the mobile game market, "True Three Kingdoms Peerless" that is in line with the PC and host platforms will also become an important cornerstone for gloriously embracing the mobile ecology.
