Overview

Total War: THREE KINGDOMS - Eight Princes | Trailer [GOG]

The year is 291 CE, and a generation has passed since the tumultuous events of the Three Kingdoms period began. Despite the tripartite division of power which brought the conflict to a stalemate, and the brief unification of the kingdoms under the Jin dynasty, civil war is no more than a heartbeat away.

Reception

Total War: Three Kingdoms - Eight Princes is another journey through the ancient Cina history, but in terms of gameplay it doesn't innovate the core system.

Total War: Three Kingdoms - Eight Princes feels familiar, although, sadly, also a repeat of what you've already gone through in the past. While you can choose from eight princes, your overall experience (especially if you've put in hundreds of hours into the base game) would be more like a solid "7" instead.

If you enjoyed the main game and have an itch to come back, I recommend picking up Eight Princes if you were aiming to do another playthrough. If you are waiting for something different and novel to come along and really shake up Three Kingdoms, then I would say hold on to your dynasty hat for the time being.

Continued character focus and new content additions make Eight Princes a solid piece of DLC for Total War: Three Kingdoms.

Three Kingdoms' first piece of DLC is largely more of the same, but that's no bad thing when the base experience is so good.
