New Steam Game SANGOKUSHI BOND Release Confirmed for Summer 2026! A Pure Intellectual Battle That Eliminates Action and Pay-to-Win Elements
The release of the new Steam game SANGOKUSHI BOND is confirmed for summer 2026!
This title is a deck-building roguelite army battle where you lead and fight with military commanders from the Three Kingdoms.
Action controls and pay-to-win elements are completely eliminated, allowing you to enjoy a 10-minute "pure intellectual battle."
The price is a one-time purchase of 7.99 USD.
The door is open to all players with an easy-to-start price setting!
Master the chaos. Execute the perfect strategy. Outsmart them all! Introducing the 6 charms of this title!
"Full-Draft" Which Creates a Different Strategy Every Time
Fixed template lineups and optimal solutions from strategy websites will not work, and players must discern the most suitable military commander for the situation from those randomly presented each match.
This Full-Draft requires players to respond to the constantly changing battle situation, creating completely different strategies every time.
Advantage the Battle Situation with "Ultimate BOND" Beyond Historical Facts
The battle situation changes greatly depending on the combination of the collected military commanders.
By discerning the compatibility and skills of the military commanders, it is possible to activate powerful ”BOND” synergies.
Form a dream team that goes beyond historical facts and overturn the enemy's board with your own unique combos that no one can predict!
More Than 100 Completely Newly Drawn Military Commanders
More than 100 completely newly drawn military commanders by many up-and-coming illustrators make an appearance!
The beautiful and passionate visuals color the battlefield of the Three Kingdoms even more intensely.
Furthermore, characters are scheduled to be added sequentially through updates.
No Action Elements! A Completely Fair "Pure Intellectual Battle"
There are no complex action controls or pay-to-win elements in combat, achieving a pure intellectual battle where all players fight under completely identical conditions.
Completely calculate placement, formation, and skill activation timing to derive the optimal solution to control a large army!
Two Versus Modes Settled in 10 Minutes
This title features two modes: "Synchronous Battles," where you read each other's moves in real-time, and "Asynchronous Battles," where you challenge the lineups of fierce players nationwide at your own pace.
There is no long-time restraint or leveling up at all, and you can experience a dense strategic battle in 10 minutes per match.
"Bonds" Between Players as Well! Compete for the Top with Lords Across the Whole World
In addition to military commanders, SNS communities that generate "Bonds" between players and official tournaments to determine the true champion are scheduled to be developed!
Compete with lords around the world through global matchmaking involving Japan, Asia, and the English-speaking world.
Expectations are gathering for the enthusiasm of reigning at the top of the world with a single strategy.
