AI Revolutionizes Chess with "Three Kingdom Heroes"

Koei Tecmo's latest Three Kingdoms title, Three Kingdoms Heroes, is a mobile chess and shogi-inspired battler featuring iconic figures and a challenging AI.

The Three Kingdoms era, a blend of legend and history, has frequently inspired interactive media. Koei Tecmo, a leading developer in this space, expands its mobile offerings with Three Kingdoms Heroes, a game boasting familiar art and storytelling. Even newcomers to the franchise will find this turn-based strategy game accessible and engaging, thanks to its diverse cast of characters and strategic gameplay.

But the real standout feature is the GARYU AI system, developed by HEROZ, the creators of the champion shogi AI, dlshogi. This AI, which dominated the World Shogi Championships for two years, promises a uniquely challenging and realistic opponent. While AI claims should be approached cautiously (remember Deep Blue?), the pedigree of HEROZ and the historical context of cunning strategic battles makes this a compelling selling point. Three Kingdoms Heroes launches January 25th.

The GARYU AI is the game's most captivating aspect. Its proven track record in the shogi world suggests a truly formidable opponent, potentially changing the way players approach this historical strategy game.
