Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who expect character portraits, which the current version does not have
- Players looking for a fully developed grand-strategy system, since some mechanics modeled on Crusader Kings are not yet implemented
- Players who require a well-functioning English interface, as the current English UI has serious problems
Our take on Sinoepoch
The store page emphasizes the map's scale, character count, and family succession, but the current version has no character portraits and serious problems with its English UI. Some mechanics associated with Crusader Kings are also not implemented yet.
What is Sinoepoch?
Sinoepoch is a grand strategy game set in a historical-fantasy version of the Three Kingdoms period.
Players create a character, choose a local powerful family in 184 AD, manage cities, recruit troops, trade commodities, and fight field or siege battles. The map's reachable locations include 13 states, 103 counties, 967 cities, and 8 passes, alongside 1,002 characters and 18 character attributes. Players can marry and have children, then continue through descendants when a character dies.
The current scenario lasts 100 years and has individual freedom, primary power, and faction struggle phases. A current plot lets players gain prestige through city attacks and progress toward becoming a duke, king, and emperor. The game includes four role-playing mini-games and historical and fictional events.
