NoobFeed editor Mezbah Turzo writes - ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS 8 REMAKE feels more like a newer, better Romance of the Three Kingdoms 13 rather than a remake of Romance of the Three Kingdoms VIII. It is still playable and pretty fun, but with all its shortcomings, it's hardly recommended unless you're a fan or someone who's looking for an RPG with a bit more to it.
WTMG's Oliver Shellding: "Like many massive titles, Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake isn’t going to sway you if you’ve hard bounced off of other projects. However, if, like me, you’ve become burnt out on the extreme minutiae of certain series, this is a step back that doesn’t feel like a total reversal. You don’t end up in some kind of happy-go-lucky children’s sim, but you have enough here at a decent enough pace to simply be, enjoy and experience. Plus, the history lessons bleeding from every corner don’t hurt in making it intriguing as well as a great game. I have to say, as far as Romance titles go, I can clearly see why number eight needed a remake, and I hope that longtime players can finally celebrate this heralded entry getting a modern day release."
"If you prefer the story elements of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms series, then 8 Remake is among the best the franchise has ever produced. This entry doesn’t offer the same level of kingdom management that fans might be expecting, but its focus on the drama and your narrative choices make it a bit more accessible for new players. This is a very solid remake that runs well on the Switch and feels like it unlocks the original’s full potential." - Trent Cannon | NintendoLife
TNS: "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake is the ultimate historical strategy simulation packed with epic and dramatic moments."
Need a North America physical copy. I’ll wait and see if they release one. If not I’ll get it on Play Asia
They need a NA physical version. There is an Asian version but I usually get those much later after release when I give up hope for a western version. I really like this series so I may give in and get the Asian version soon
