Three Kingdom Heroes brings top-level AI challenges to chess-like duels, coming soon

By ElijahJan 24,2025

Koei Tecmo's latest Three Kingdoms title, Three Kingdoms Heroes, blends chess and shogi mechanics into a mobile action battler. Players command historical figures, each with unique abilities and strategies, in turn-based board combat.

The game's art style and epic storytelling remain true to the franchise's legacy. However, its accessibility makes it an ideal entry point for newcomers. A vast array of abilities and tactical options ensures engaging gameplay.

The standout feature is the GARYU AI system, developed by HEROZ, the creators of the championship-winning shogi AI, dlshogi. GARYU is designed to adapt and learn, providing a challenging and realistic opponent. While AI hype is common, GARYU's pedigree suggests a truly formidable adversary.

GARYU's advanced capabilities are a compelling selling point, especially given the Three Kingdoms' historical focus on strategic maneuvering. The promise of a lifelike, adaptive opponent elevates the gameplay experience. Three Kingdoms Heroes launches January 25th.
