Three Kingdoms Heroes lets you engage in tactical chess-like duels now on Apple Arcade
  • Three Kingdoms Heroes takes inspiration from Shogi and Chess
  • Deploy heroes with distinctive skills in turn-based battles
  • Take on AI opponents or other players worldwide

Three Kingdoms Heroes has just made its way to Apple Arcade, bringing a fresh twist to strategy with inspiration from classic board games like Shogi and Chess. This release lets you create a team of popular generals from Koei Tecmo's Romance of the Three Kingdoms series, offering a strategic challenge that relies on your tactical thinking.

In Three Kingdoms Heroes, your success hinges on wits rather than stats. The gameplay merges turn-based combat with unit movements and abilities, or Stratagems. Each general you deploy has a distinctive set of skills that can turn the tide of battle, making every decision you make crucial.

If you're looking to test your strategies in single-player mode, the AI opponent, Garyu, provides a formidable challenge. It was developed by Heroz, who are renowned for their world championship-winning Shogi AI, dlshogi. Garyu is capable of adjusting its difficulty to offer both beginners and seasoned strategists a thrilling tactical experience.
