I love Chinese history, especially its scope and intellectual depth. This is why it's so annoying to see the video games based on it that come out in the West focus so narrowly on just a few historical periods or perspectives, often with a fantastical component. These games are either based around some indistinct wuxia setting, or else a highly mythologized version of the Three Kingdoms. Chinese history is so much richer than that!        Games like Red Dead Redemption, Ghost of Tsushima, or Kingdom Come: Deliverance offer the perfect template for what a Chinese history game could be like, and setting it around the late middle ages or early 20th century would be perfect as well. Given the budgets involved in such games, it may be a while before we see one like it, but the possibilities are just about endless.

I like that one, but it's also needlessly difficult at times, just because the mechanics are so obscure.

it's based on the historical background of Five Dynastys and Ten Kingdom, and the game has a strong sense of Xia in Chinese( like the Knight spirit in Middle Age)

这款游戏在中国的争议很大，因为历史上清王朝在取代明王朝的过程中对百姓进行了残酷的屠杀，但是在游戏中玩家可以杀百姓、杀明军，杀起义军，唯独不能杀清军。所以人们说这是一个叛徒游戏，玩家在扮演清王朝的屠夫。
