■ Characters
◆ Wei
Li Dan (voiced by Kousuke Toriumi)
He is a hardened veteran of Cao Cao’s army. Sometimes, however, he can be too easygoing which leads to confusion. He is talented in predicting the locations of enemy ambushes and traps.
◆ Wu
Lu Su (voiced by Taiten Kusunoki)
The second Chief Commander of Wu. Successor to Zhou Yu and mentor of Lu Meng. In a time when the restoration of the Han Dynasty was sought after more than any other solution, he had a plan to divide China into two territories.
◆ Shu
Huang Zhong (voiced by Yusuhiko Kawazu)
A warrior who grows more active the older he gets. He has the kind of carefree spirit that only comes with age, but also the severity of an experienced warrior. An unparalleled archer, his claim is that he never missed. He becomes one of Shu’s Five Tiger Generals.
◆ Other
Zhurong (voiced by Chizu Yonemoto)
The wife of Meng Huo. She claims descent from the legendary god of fire Zhurong. A determined fighter, she tends to mother all those around her. Like her namesake, she is straightforward and aggressive, but she also works hard at supporting her husband both in battle and in his rule as King.
Meng Huo (voiced by Yoshiyuki Kouno)
The King of Nanzhong. With a huge body and exceptional strength, he is not only the king of his land, but also its greatest warrior. He generally acts more on emotion than on thought. But regardless of his looks, he both loves and fears his wife.
■ System
◆ Open World
Encounters with Formidable Foes
While moving about the field, you may encounter powerful enemies that rush you in spite of your attacks.
If you defeat these formidable foes, you can get even more valuable items than usual.
A black-haired fox. It is probably a good idea to run away when you encounter more vicious animals than usual.
A rare, blue-haired tiger. If you are careless and enchanted by the beast, you are risking death.
A white-haired bear. If you are hit by just one powerful swings, great damage is unavoidable.
