Pocket Gamer:
Koei's ancient Chinese tactical sim hit iPhone late last year in Romance of the Three Kingdoms Touch. Now it's coming to iPad with graphics and an interface entirely retooled for the tablet's larger display.
Not wanting to conform to norms with an overused 'HD' moniker, developer Koei has slapped a 'Plus' suffix to signify the game's new resolution.
Game Vortex writes: "The prospects for strategy games on iPad are truly bright. Whether Romance of the Three Kingdoms strikes your fancy is immaterial to the bigger point, which is that this platform feels like it was designed to play this type of game. Screens may grow larger or smaller, and interfaces will obviously become more sophisticated, but what's here already makes playing a game like Romance of the Three Kingdoms instantly more intuitive. The game defaults to a landscape view, making use of real estate at the sides of the screen, or across the horizontal axis. The first thing you'll notice is how crisp the graphics are on the iPad screen. Cut-scenes are largely done through static art, framed and presented with captions, so nothing is really taxing the graphic engine too greatly. This is mostly a board game, but a very colorful on."
The venerable historical strategy game Romance of the Three Kingdoms has been redesigned for the iPad and has been released today.
