Game Review - originally written by (wraith)
Wow. This is probably one of the better (if not best) Nes RPGs out there. It's the continuation of the ancient Chinese legend called the “Romance of the Three Kingdoms,” which is a long and powerful epic that tells the story of The Three Kingdoms War, a drawn-out and bloody civil war that took place in China 2,000 or so years ago. It involves a gigantic cast of characters, an innovative battle system that plays like a hybrid of a strategy game and a traditional RPG. Graphically, I don't think I've been exposed to an Nes RPG as graphically stunning as this one. Decent graphics in an Nes RPG are rare at best, and this game pulls it off. Especially the little cinema cut-scenes - magnifique!

"A game that makes you question the sanity of its creators, turning the Romance of the Three Kingdoms into an RPG.
But it's interesting.
Do something about Lu Bu. That idiot."
Completely agree.
The original manga changed the development of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms to suit Japanese tastes, and then turned it into a game, which is why the development is completely different from real history.
I don't know what's going on. But interesting.
It may be my favourite RPG on the NES.
I have more feelings for it than DQ1/2/3 or Mother 1.
Most Three Kingdoms games are made by KOEI, but Capcom has done a great job of making an RPG that is still fun to play.
As expected of Capcom.
I'm re-listening to the background music I found on youtube and it's still very good.

No, it's really great. All of the battle songs don't feel old at all when you listen to them now.
