Android Game Launches AI-Fueled Chess Variant

Koei Tecmo unveils Three Kingdoms Heroes, a fresh take on their celebrated Three Kingdoms franchise, arriving on mobile devices January 25th. This chess and shogi-inspired battler features iconic Three Kingdoms figures and their unique abilities, promising strategic depth.

The game's captivating art style and epic storytelling will resonate with series veterans. However, its innovative turn-based board battle system makes it an enticing entry point for newcomers. Players will command famous historical figures, employing diverse skills and strategies.

But the real highlight? The groundbreaking GARYU AI. Developed by HEROZ, creators of the world-champion shogi AI dlshogi, GARYU promises an unprecedented level of adaptive and challenging gameplay. Its pedigree, honed through victories in the World Shogi Championships, hints at a truly formidable opponent.

While AI hype is often overblown, GARYU's track record is impressive. While comparisons to Deep Blue invite scrutiny, the prospect of facing a lifelike, adaptive AI in a game steeped in historical strategic warfare is undeniably compelling. The challenge presented by GARYU is a key selling point for Three Kingdoms Heroes.
