A challenging and original strategy game that is certainly welcome to those who GET strategy gaming.

Chinese chess on steroids.

Interesting, but overly complex. I remember expending hours and hours playing it, and discovering new mechanics near the end of the game.

A passable take on the three kingdoms saga. Focusing heavily on strategy and turn based combat could have worked however the difficulty spike after the first couple of hours of gameplay tied with no real way to level up your characters to make the difficulty more bearable make this one of koeis weaker translations of their favourite novel.

When I started playing the game I wanted to call everyone I knew and tell them how much this game rocked. I wanted to grab people by the ear, sit them down and have them watch me fight a battle and yell out, "You see that! THAT'S why I play games, baby!"

The gameplay is gleefully wrought with complexity. However, hardcore strategists will surely find this title simplistic.

Strategy games are never meant to be flashy or hectic, but if they become too slow and complicated for the sake of being complicated…well, then we have a problem. Dynasty Tactics walks a very fine line here, and luckily, does not fall into the aforementioned abyss.

If “PTO IV” and “ROTK VII” rock your boat then this is a must-own PS2 DVD.

A lot of work obviously went into the battle engine, but it's buried underneath such a thick layer of dry minutiae and inconsequential plot.
