KOEI dates PC fighting duo News

PC News by Tom Bramwell

29 April, 2008

KOEI has braved GTA week apathy and stormed up to our keep waving news of Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI and Samurai Warriors 2 PC release dates.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI is due out on 25th July, about a month after Samurai Warriors 2 turns up on 27th June.

RotTK XI, as we're all calling it, is set at the end of China's Han Dynasty in the 2nd and 3rd centuries, and as ever concerns military and political manoeuvring to help bring the country under one rule.

You issue more commands than before to those in your territories, dealing with unique personalities and lots of meticulously researched RotTK details across eight scenarios.

Samurai Warriors 2, meanwhile, is the usual massive battles and Musou gauge affair, having splintered successfully away from the mother Dynasty Warriors series in a way that, on Xbox 360 at least, we rather liked.

If you abbreviate it, you ignore the "the", so it's just RotK, so it's a word. Okay, it isn't a word at all, and taking out the other t doesn't change it, but as no one else ever cares about Three Kingdoms news I'll probably remain the only one here in this comments thread.

I love the heavy micromanagement of RotTK, it's the perfect antidote to butchering thousands of warriors yourself.

I like to call it RTK (short but memorable) and kinda like these games being my little secret. They're great. Now either more people will discover the joys of RTK or I'll remain one of the lucky few to know about this brilliant series.

Don't worry, no one ever cares. The good part being no ones buys it, and we get it for £5.00 in a month :)

I'll accept your RTK, as "of" and "the" are rarely considered in acronyms. RTK with mouse controls should be pretty sweet. If there is online it'll be all the sweeter, but i doubt it - you need time to manage and plot and develop.

They should release X, instead. Had the RPG aspect of playing an officer too.

Never had the good fortune to play X, I've only played III, IV and VIII. The RPG aspects sound good though.
