ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS　2 App Reviews

The touch makes the game much faster than scrolling though the menu options. Overall they cleaned it up quite a bit. It feels about 95% of the original. Only including three scenarios is weak, and it feels like some major events arent happening ("natural" deaths of key officers and rulers for example) but Im only five or so years into the first scenario. All in all the changes feel in favor of the player. It also leaves you with fewer actions to so per turn so you have lots of idle generals. Other changes: - no market pricing! This is super annoying. As far as I can tell, the only way to tell the price is by trying to buy or sell, and then calculate the rate. Probably the one part of the game thats slower than the original - no need to expend actions viewing enemy provinces. Of course the computer doesnt care about this, but this frees up your officers to do... Nothing. There isnt a lot to do with your officers now as the net actions you need to succeed are fewer - instead of developing land and flood, you just have "develop" so its cheaper to improve your land. Theoretically this is better for the computer too but you benefit more since they seem to improve without investments anyway - pretty sure movement in war is faster. I think that normal "plains" tiles cost two action points; now it seems like you can move across 5 or 6 spaces when SNES only allowed 3 max - duels feel less conclusive. Lu Bu against most used to be a guarantee. Hes drawing a lot and even lost to Hua Xiong. - feels like the computer is less aggressive than I remember. You can be really aggressive with growth - I think they took away some of the challenge in war. In the SNES version, all things considered, taking on a fully trained and fully armed general with 70+ war in the castle would take an army of 300 soldiers with 90+ war to win decisively. - speaking of arms, theres no longer this concept. It used to cost 100 to fully arm a general which is the equivalent of 10 soldiers plus it would take the generals action plus it was only available when the merchant was around. So not having this saves actions and money. - generals seem more loyal, or the computer is less aggressive with stealing and bribing them. Lu Bu used to be a coin flip. He could be at 100 loyalty and still leave you at the first bribe. In war the opposing computer is either not trying enough or they made it harder to bribe. There are probably a few others but that covers the most I can think of. Still lots of fun even if easier. The cleaner faster interface makes up for part of that. Am looking forward to a good version of ROTK3, a much deeper game.

Thanks for this wonderful update which brings back many fond memories. Just to report a new bug: while playing as Liu Bei in Senario 189 after I defeated Cao Cao, while Yuan Shao was plotting strategy, I accepted alliance from Yuan Shao. Then one of my generals Xiahou Dun deflected to Yuan Shao and the game hangs. If only my favourite scenario 194 can be added, then this game would be perfect!

Thank you so much for updating this game. It fixed a bug that rendered it unplayable! I have come across a small bug that crashes the game when you are in battle and you start a fire on someone. But since the game automatically saves your place, it isnt a huge deal. Keep up the great work!

we can find new officers! thank you for the update

Thank you for the game but if the created officer is the rule it will be hard but thanks for the game

The user interphase is reasonable enough to navigate on iPhone 5s. Although some of the English translation is a bit weird but once you try it a few times you will know what it means. Infrequent crash happens now and then but the game has a autosave function build in. You can relaunch the game and get back to where it was. It is not too bad. But it is a 12 bucks purchase compared to other apps. Because of the pricing and once of a while crashes, I give it 4 stars.

crashes on the iphone 4s and 5s. there are also problems in the game. please fix this problem so i can play.

Good mobile version would be better if you could use other strategies in war like taunts and lies also should be able to do more with vassal states like entice and deceive, surprised some officers who were strong in other games are weak in this one dont understand that,but overall enjoyable if youve played rotk before now koei just needs to put out a new version for ps4.... One day maybe been waiting since ps3

The best strategy game for iPhone. koei needs to bring back the RTK series to computer and xbox or PS!!! I still play RTK XI on my xbox and its years old. Its held the test of time. Koei needs to look at the success of games like crusader kings 2 with excellent strategy and character development dynamics. They should relaunch a more complex and rpg yet strategic version of RTK. A new RTK for the 21st century

Please can u guys make more of these kind of games ! I really like it ! Awesome 5 stars for this game! Good job guys ;:)

As a longtime series fan, I was incredibly disappointed by this game. Only three scenarios, arbitrarily assigned officer statistics, and no depth (historically loyal officers will easily defect, etc.). For how much theyre charging, Id expect a lot more.

Good game. Officer profile have 2 Zhuge Jin.

The game crashes every time I successfully start a fire on an enemy in battle. Come on KOEI. Fix this and Ill give a better rating. Also the buttons dont work well. Sometimes I have to touch a button 2 or 3 times to make it work!

3 stars is temporary, with increase if glitches fixed, reduction if not. I enjoyed this game on Nintendo as a kid. Why do I need to click the button 3-10 times to get it to work? Why is there both a cancel and a return button? You only need 1 back button. Why are my first 3 battles instant victories without use of the map? Why do my new victory territories not allow me to make any actions? Please fix these glitches or I will request a refund.

First I want to thank Koei for bringing this classic game to the masses via iOS. I played many versions starting with SNES. This is the simplest of the versions. While it is still fun it really needs at least some of the traditional complexity to feel satisfying. Things that are part of the series that I wish were added in a future update: 1. Multiplayer needed. Playing against the AI is not particularly challenging. Even allowing one other player to join makes a huge difference in the challenge. 2. Unit variety (archers, cavalry, etc) 3. Add fortress sieges after a successful field battle. 4. Choosing the order in which you complete province turns. Currently you have to complete province turns in sequence and it adds unnecessary complexity for larger empires. 5. Ability of captured generals to refuse recruitment. Option to imprison them. 6. Seasonal variations in market prices. 7. Generals with multiple skills rather than the basic stats. 8. More specific province improvements rather than the general development. 9. Reinforce battles from your own provinces. I think Koei should have a basic RTK (like this one) and an advanced one for players like myself who want the traditional RTK experience from the computer / console versions.

It is ended when I run app and load my saved data. Cant play a game. What were you do for this app?

It worked fine on 9.0 until you updated it for 9.0. Go figure ! Hate to delete the game when Ive been playing over a year. Please fix. This is a $15 dollar game plus upgrades. One would expect it to work after an upgrade. I expect you are working on a fix as we speak. I cant be the only one with an app that doesnt function. Thank you!

Great! Very fun to play! However... It is extremely overpriced. Also, there is a mistake in the officer profiles, Zhuge Jin is listed twice.

Please fix crash when using Fire Attacking

Please fix, and I miss the cheat feature from Rtk1
