Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
No United States chart position — it charts only in the markets below.
Latest in each market: best CN #86, worst KR #87 · 2 markets collected
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 5.71/day in the week to Aug 16 → 11.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Add-ons
Each DLC is estimated with the same model as a game, then summed — a modeled figure, not reported DLC sales.
Sums Steam only; Xbox, GOG, Epic publish no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.
Updates
Build ids and update times come straight from Steam's PICS — the same source SteamDB reads. Patch history grows as we record new builds.

Reviews
One of the best launches of a Total War game, and then CA killed it because 1 DLC, of an era people didn't care about and when all of the romance characters you knew and loved were all dead and gone, didn't sell well enough. Shame.
Great game. However, how are you going to call this three kingdoms and only support two people in an online campaign.

14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Aug 18: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

f*ck all the negative reviews, this game is amazing, and it still runs and plays better than 99% of all other historical titles. As well, it is hands down the goat of all historical total wars in terms of map size, mechanics, legendary lords and heroes, factions, campaigns, complexity, unit variety, etc.
This game is honestly so much more enjoyable than Warhammer. I LOVE the fantasy titles as much as I love Shogun 2, but this one wins. The reason is actually really simple. The map has natural theaters of war, there's a functional political system, and the endgame isn't unbearable.
While this is an outstanding Total War title concerning the campaign mechanics, i cannot recommend it to my fellow widescreen players. On 3440x1440 the UI is brutally small. I want to relax with a game like this not strain my eyes. Its really ipsidipsiesmall. The UI slider is locked at 130% and you cannot increase it, because the game detects no true 4k and thus locks you from reaching the potential 200%. Frustrating as hell. After hours of search, i finally found a workaround by upscaling my resolution to 5160x2160 by setting DSR factors to 2.25 in the Nvidia control panel. Then i opened the preferences.script in %appdata% , set the auto scaling of the UI to false and the scaling to exactly 1.8. If you are wondering how to do this yourself just feed my text to any AI and it will likely guide you through the process. This took hours of my free time and i shouldnt be asked to do this in the first place. Rome Total War 2 has an easy accessible 200% UI increase without those hard caps. Why not Three Kingdoms? Additionally you have to have an extremley good setup to have enough frames left to play in this resolution, so my workaround might not work for everyone.
玩家自动分低的可怜就算了 高级兵和低级兵还没区别 对面两队老农 我全重装精锐 然后武将都是传奇 敢自动就直接悲惨失败 手操直接史诗大捷 逼迫玩家每一场都不得不手操
底层逻辑做的稀烂，哪怕打上一堆大改MOD也难以掩盖粪便的气味
This game when it first came out was honestly somewhat of a disappointment. It had some great ideas but it just wasn’t quite there. However in 2026 it has truly become my favorite total war game. If you love the three kingdoms period this is an incredible game! I highly suggest people if you do get it play it with mods (check out the new general collection). While a lot don’t have English support honestly the sheer level of quality and enthusiasm the modders have is incredible they have completely changed the game! Just an example with the new general collection it adds tons of new characters/events/skills/models/units/difficulty it’s incredible. It reminds me a lot of the DEI mod for Rome 2 with its scale. I just started a new Lu Bu campaign and it’s become my favorite campaign so far. I’m constantly desperately fighting to survive, having to make real strategic decisions every turn and trying to use Lu Bu and his retinue under constant pressure to desperately hold on. It has been so much fun actually having the ai gang up on me and make smarter choices both on the campaign and in battles rather than just steam rolling the ai every campaign. Incredible game and incredible mod it’s awesome I highly recommend it! While the mods in the playlist do not have English support it really is fine 70% of the game is still English and most of the Chinese is recognizable sentences after a few turns. For the rest just use a translator (I use the one on my phone) for the events and such. Can’t recommend the game and the mod playlist enough. If you love the three kingdoms period, or want really fun unique characters that actually form relationships with the rest of the characters based off of how you play, or just want a great rts/strategy game this is the game for you!
After sinking 350 hours into this game I'm happy to say, 9/10. Highly recommend, especially to those wanting to get into the genre. Make sure to adjust your settings so the battles are run above 50 frames or else easy will feel like hard. If you're a Three Kingdoms fan, especially a fan of KESSEN II, then this is a must buy.
Creative Assembly failed to over monetize this game with 50 DLCs totaling hundreds of dollars like it does WarHammer so this game never even got to the three kingdoms era it is literally named after. CA has long since lost its way, this game isnt half of what it could or should be. Massive disappointment
