War of the Three Kingdoms, not to be confused with Dynasty Warriors or Total War: Three Kingdoms is a strategy card game that was released for Steam on the 17th of December 2021 by Chinese developer Yoka Games.

The game is a free-to-play card game that is supposed to be similar to Solitaire. As you can guess it’s based on the Chinese classic novel Romance of The Three Kingdoms which is in turn based on the historical event.

The game’s user reviews however had been “overwhelmingly negative“. As of this article, there are 4,671 reviews of the game and 94% of them are negative. By comparison, only 86% of eFootball’s Steam reviews are negative. It’s not a lot better but it’s still something.

The main complaints with the game seem to be the enormous amount of bugs and the shameless use of microtransactions for pay-to-win mechanics. Despite being a free-to-play game, it is said that the game is almost completely unplayable without paying a hefty sum of money to gain access to certain characters.

Here are a few select reviews that explain their views of the game better than I could:

“There are serious BUG issues that affect the balance of the game, and the developer’s level is limited and cannot be repaired. It requires a lot of money to play the game. It takes about 10,000 US dollars to barely play the game. It is recommended not to play this game directly.” -阿姆斯特朗旋转炮

“DO not play this game, The game is run by the most disgusting game operator. The company has no integrity, no introspection, and no concern for player reviews. They don’t care about the experience, even fixing bugs. All the company cares about is how to squeeze money out of players. Trust me, never, never play this game!” -Azreal

“This game is the biggest joke of all time. In the very beginning, it was pure plagiarism from trpg Bang!. Suddenly, the game designers came to their right mind to create some original content – mostly pay-to-win characters, coming directly from Hell. You hear me right. When you don’t have those characters, you can’t even stay alive until it comes to your turn. There’s no turning back after you start to pour money into this game. Every penny you invest in this game suddenly lose 4/5 of its value and the in-game econ-mechanism is still under skyrocketing inflation. The game designers simply won’t bother to modify any of the classic characters of this era simply because they are available for free while releasing disastrous paid characters every month. I have to warn every single potential newcomer to STAY AWAY from this game and any game developed by Goka Games? (not sure if it’s the right spelling lol) After all, gksm if you know what I mean.” -DenG

Even many of the positive reviews are just insults or troll reviews. Needless to say, it seems like you won’t be missing out on much by skipping War of the Three Kingdoms.
