Let’s conquer the realm (the top) with the generals (friends) you’ve collected! What is the strategic battle game “Three Kingdoms BOND”?
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms BOND" is an evolved hybrid of deck-building roguelite, army battles, and auto-battler gameplay, where you lead generals from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms into battle.
Its defining feature is that it eliminates action-based controls, reflexes, and pay-to-win mechanics.
All players start on a completely level playing field and battle using only their own strategic prowess.
Recruit generals, set up formations, and outwit your opponents—you’re guaranteed to enjoy a pure battle of wits!
A "Fully Draft-Based System" Where Different Strategies Emerge Every Time
There are no cookie-cutter formations.
Select from the generals randomly presented in each match and build the formation best suited to the situation!
Forge the “Supreme Bond (BOND)” that transcends historical fact
The compatibility and skills of your generals create synergy beyond your wildest imagination.
Build a dream team that defies historical facts and turn the tide of battle.
Over 100 completely new, original military commanders
A lineup of passionate warriors brought to life by a team of up-and-coming illustrators!
More are scheduled to be added in future updates.
Completely fair strategy battles decided in short, decisive engagements
Each battle lasts about 10 minutes.
Victory or defeat is determined solely by reading your opponent’s unit placement, formations, and skills.
Early Access launches on Tuesday, July 14, 2026! Also available internationally on Steam.
"Three Kingdoms BOND" will be available in Early Access starting Tuesday, July 14, 2026!
