■ No ads. Generals earned through play. A complete collection RPG. The first 12 battlefields — up to Guandu — are free for everyone. Finish the prologue, and buy the full campaign once only if you liked it. No subscriptions and no rewarded ads. You never pay real money directly for a draw: recruiting (random) uses in-game currency, which optional bundles also provide. Optional bundles can speed up growth, but every general is obtainable through play alone. ■ Over 100 generals, each with a story Choose your allegiance — Cao Cao's dominion, Liu Bei's benevolence, or Sun Quan's Jiangdong — and gather over 100 generals including Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhou Yu and Sima Yi. Every general has a unique skill and a written biography, and generals bound by historical ties awaken hidden power when fielded together. ■ More than collecting · Raise — train, awaken and equip your generals · Battle — set formations and tactics, then cut through the field · One vs. Ten Thousand — a 2-minute-30-second action mode where a single general cuts through an endless army · Campaign — follow 50 battlefields across the era · Codex — collect and admire portraits and records ■ The ending you choose There is more than one road to unifying the land. Close the story with a branching ending shaped by your choices. ■ Offline, all the way through No internet connection required. No account, no login. Your data stays on your device — there is no server. Play on the subway, on a plane, anywhere.
