Koei Tecmo's latest Three Kingdoms title, Three Kingdoms Heroes, is a mobile chess and shogi-inspired battler launching January 25th. The game features a diverse roster of Three Kingdoms characters, each with unique abilities and strategic options. However, the real standout is the GARYU AI system.
The Three Kingdoms era, a rich tapestry of heroism and intrigue, has repeatedly inspired interactive entertainment. Koei Tecmo, a veteran in this field, continues its legacy with Three Kingdoms Heroes, offering a fresh take on the familiar art style and epic storytelling. This turn-based strategy game presents a compelling entry point for newcomers, while offering familiar comforts for series veterans.
While impressive visuals and audio are present, the most captivating aspect is the GARYU AI. Developed by HEROZ, the creators of the world-champion shogi AI, dlshogi, GARYU promises a challenging and adaptive opponent. This AI's proven track record in dominating the World Shogi Championships for two years, besting top grandmasters, speaks volumes.
While the comparison to Deep Blue inevitably arises, the potential of facing a truly lifelike, strategically astute opponent in a game steeped in historical tactical maneuvers is undeniably alluring. GARYU is the game's key selling point, promising a uniquely challenging and rewarding experience.
