  • Summary: Set during the end of the Han Dynasty and the 2nd and 3rd centuries A.D., RTK XI features an artistic style evocative of classical Chinese ink-paintings, and with debates and duels now rendered in real-time 3D animation, RTK XI pushes the boundaries and blurs the line between video games and art in this stunning recreation of the mood and feel of ancient China. Players need to dig deep within to prove themselves adept at both the military and political arts in order to bring China under one rule. Domestic affairs, diplomacy and warfare are all conducted on a single vast 3D relief map, dramatically bringing to life the epic scale of the adventure that lies before them. As the ruler of a kingdom, each player has complete control over their territories. More than 40 base commands give players the power to govern cities, manage their personnel, practice diplomacy, and much more. Complete freedom to develop markets, shipyards, outposts, forts and military units expand on the already substantial benchmarks established by previous editions of the series. Finally, players watch the era come to life through the unique individual personalities of the more than 780 officers and supporting characters that they meet and interact with while engaged in one of RTK XI's ten gripping scenarios.

    RotTK XI manages to breathe fresh life into a stagnant franchise and proves an infectious journey that markedly improves on its predecessors in both style and substance. [Apr 2007, p.84]

    If you don't have the time/patience to really pour yourself into this game for months on end, it's hard to even recommend this as a rental.

    To get that sense of accomplishment, you'll have to endure an almost relentless level of tedium. If you have that kind of patience, by all means give the game a shot, but only if you have that kind of patience.

    The strategy is complex and rewarding, but the menu shuffling and extremely slow pace won't earn the series any new fans.
