SummaryThe year is 291 CE, and a generation has passed since the tumultuous events of the Three Kingdoms period began. Despite the tripartite division of power which brought the conflict to a stalemate, and the brief unification of the kingdoms under the Jin dynasty, civil war is no more than a heartbeat away.

Continued character focus and new content additions make Eight Princes a solid piece of DLC for Total War: Three Kingdoms.

It might have been too much to expect incredibly new and diverse mechanics so soon after the release of the base game. Instead Eight Princes represents a few little changes and a nice dose of added re-playability. I think that in time we will receive DLC that does significantly change things and offer new and incredibly fresh mechanics, but Eight Princes isn’t that. I would however recommend it if you enjoyed the campaign experience of the original game.

Its not a bad DLC.. Its just not giving very much for its price. I will also say it felt like they may have just withheld some of this from the game so they could sell it to the players later. Worth a buy once the price drops significantly.

who played this ? its so forgettable and just , bad. it dont have its place inside this game , either make a new game or an interesting dlc about the three kingdoms , no one buys a three kingdoms game to play the eight princes.

Eight Princes is a nice addition to an incredible game but it is not a game-changing DLC, just one that can add few hours of play. We expect more from Creative Assembly.

Three Kingdoms' first piece of DLC is largely more of the same, but that's no bad thing when the base experience is so good.

Total War: Three Kingdoms - Eight Princes feels familiar, although, sadly, also a repeat of what you've already gone through in the past. Although you can choose from eight princes, your overall experience (especially if you've put in hundreds of hours into the base game) would be more like a "7" instead.

Eight Princes is therefore not an unmissable expansion, but rather a slight variation on the theme to be received with lukewarm interest.

Eight Princes is the DLC for the most devoted fans of Three Kingdoms who pore over patch notes after every update. It invites you to join the same rat race as in Yellow Turban Rebellion, the game's previous DLC, on the very same map, but with a shorter list of available factions.
