Taikou Risshiden III (Chinese)

Taikou Risshiden III is the third entry in Koei’s Sengoku-era ambition series built around the rise of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Compared with the earlier games, this installment places much stronger emphasis on a directed story experience: rather than offering a wide-open sandbox, it narrows the playable perspective to Hideyoshi and one fictional character, making the campaign feel more narrative-driven and character-focused. The game also reworked its presentation with animated-style character portraits and a clearer character-growth structure built around four main attributes—military, domestic affairs, diplomacy, and charm—along with twelve skills. Battles are divided into field battles and siege warfare, so even though the game is more story-oriented than some other entries in the series, it still keeps a clear strategic backbone. Overall, this makes Taikou Risshiden III stand out as a more dramatic, more guided, and somewhat more theatrical take on the series’ usual “rise to power” formula.
