Reliving the fall of the Han and the struggle for central China fills long sessions, as conquest blends meticulous administrative management with great pitched turn-based battles. You recruit historical officers, secure your rear and slowly expand your grip province by province. Published by Namco, this strategy demands thought and persistence, and its historical depth still earns it a reputation as a long-running campaign.
