---{Gameplay}---
☑ Very good
☐ Try not to get addicted
☐ Good
☐ Nothing special
☐ Ehh
☐ Bad
☐ Just dont
Charging into battles as a Three Kingdoms warlord feels like you’re starring in your own kung-fu epic. The horizontal combat is snappy, with combos and skills that make you feel like Lu Bu on a caffeine binge. It’s not reinventing the wheel, but slicing through enemies is satisfying as heck.

---{Graphics}---
☐ You forget reality
☑ Masterpiece
☐ Beautiful
☐ Good
☐ Decent
☐ Will do
☐ Bad
☐ Awful
☐ Paint.exe
The new look is straight-up gorgeous—think ancient China painted by an artist who loves explosions. Battlefields and characters pop with vibrant detail, though some menus look like they time-traveled from 2005. Still, it’s a feast for your eyeballs.

---{Audio}---
☑ Very good
☐ Eargasm
☐ Good
☐ Decent
☐ Not too bad
☐ Bad
☐ Earrape
The soundtrack slaps with epic, orchestral vibes that make every fight feel like you’re storming Red Cliff. Sound effects—clanging swords, thundering hooves—are on point, but the voice acting can be a bit “local theater troupe” at times.

---{Audience}---
☐ Kids
☑ Teens
☑ Adults
☐ Everyone
If you dig Three Kingdoms lore or just love hacking through armies like a one-man dynasty, this game’s for you. It’s a bit too complex for kids, but teens and adults who vibe with history and action will have a blast.

---{PC Requirements}---
☑ Check if you can run paint
☐ Potato
☐ Decent
☐ Fast
☐ Rich boi
☐ Ask NASA if they have a spare computer
This game runs smoother than a silk robe on a warlord. My budget laptop handled it like a champ, so unless your PC’s from the Han Dynasty, you’re good.

---{Story}---
☐ Doesnt have (Not counting historical stuff)
☐ Something isnt nothing I guess
☑ Not greatly told
☐ Average
☐ Good
☐ Lovely
☐ Will make you cry or smile a lot
The Three Kingdoms setting is awesome, with all the Cao Cao and Liu Bei drama, but the story’s more like cliff notes than a novel. You get enough lore to feel epic, but don’t expect Shakespearean plot twists.

---{Difficulty}---
☐ Just press a bunch of buttons
☐ Easy
☑ Significant brain usage
☐ Easy to learn / Hard to master
☐ Not so easy
☐ Difficult
☐ Dark Souls
You’ll need to plan your moves and manage resources like a true strategist. It’s not Dark Souls brutal, but you can’t just button-mash your way to victory. Expect a few “oh crap” moments when an enemy general outsmarts you.

---{Grind}---
☑ Only if you care about leaderboards/ranks
☐ Nothing
☐ Isnt necessary to progress
☐ A bit grindy sometimes
☐ Average grind level
☐ A bit grindy
☐ Insanity
You can cruise through the main campaign without much grind, but if you’re chasing high scores or maxing out your gear, you’ll be farming like a peasant in a rice field. It’s optional, thank the heavens.

---{Game Time}---
☐ Long enough for a cup of tea
☐ Short
☐ Average
☑ Long
☐ Depends on you (first playthrough ~20 hours but i sunk way more into replays and challenges)
☐ Endless
A full playthrough took me about 20 hours, but with side missions and replaying battles to flex as different generals, I’ve lost track of time. It’s long, but in a “just one more fight” way.

---{Price}---
☑ Worth the price
☐ Just buy it
☐ Wait for sale
☐ Maybe if you have some spare money left
☐ Not recommended
☐ Dont throw money into a rubbish bin
It’s priced fairly for the hours of warlord chaos you get. I snagged it on a deal, but even at full price, it’s worth it for Three Kingdoms fans. Check Steam for discounts

---{Bugs}---
☑ Minor bugs
☐ Never had any
☐ Few bugs
☐ Can get annoying
☐ Ruining the game
☐ The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs
I ran into a couple glitches—like a soldier stuck in a wall—but nothing that made me rage-quit. Patches seem to keep it mostly clean.

Final Score: 8/10
Kingdom Heroes 8 is like jumping into a Three Kingdoms scroll with a sword and a dream. The battles are epic, the visuals are stunning, and it’s got that single-player charm that keeps you glued. It’s not perfect—story’s a bit thin and some menus feel dated—but for fans of history and action, it’s a wild ride worth taking.
