Quite a worthwhile to play if you like the Officer play in many of the ROTK games. Compared to say, the recent ROTK8Re, this is a decent game.

There is a separate system for duels, debates, and field battles - so three different things for your officer to try to become good at. There's also a lot of interesting systems such as private armies and owning land. All these systems do work reasonably enough, but for an early game, there are of course some balance issues. Though you can refrain from using the overpowered strategies if you want to roleplay.

Speaking of roleplaying, there are many history-inspired events you can participate in, with the opportunity to change the outcome (usually through a very difficult fight/debate) - for example, what if the amazing general Pan Feng survived against Hua Xiong?! This is great for roleplaying. Though many of the events seems to be conclude with you saving some historical character and adding them to your faction. This lets you gather officers or potential wives (probably intended by the developers eh...).

If the developers can refine the game a bit overall, this could be a great game.

It is important to note that I don't know if there is a good way to play the game in English right now, several discussion posts and reviews point to some methods, but I played the game with my (elementary) understanding of Chinese and it was fine.

A very janky crossbreed of the officer play ROTKs with Taikour Risshiden. Doesn't really have any focus or identity, juggling a dozen barebones mechanics ranging from some basic (and extremely annoying) strategy management to card battler RPG (With TWO separate sets for you to assemble for duels and debates!) to cultivation simulator (With three, THREE different progress bars for you to grind up at an absolutely glacial pace) to waifu harem collector (Yes, really. There's weirdly much focus put on having you marry and sex up dozens of jade beauties that all look the same and have the same cowtits). Despite such a wide range of activities doesn't even really have that much replayability, as regardless of if you're a monarch or a random murderhobo you'll still be doing most of the above over and over again.
Wanted to do at least a single full run, but AI happens to blob way too agressively and fast with no blocks in place, which bricks half of the story events - in my case Tao Qian having lost a city to Cao Cao that I can't even conquer back for him because diplomacy doesn't have that option, nor much at all for that matter. So yeah, I think I'll pass for now.
