SANGOKUSHI Mitsuki Yokoyama - (Manual Missing)

Yokoyama Mitsuteru Sangokushi is a historical grand strategy game released for the Super Famicom. Developed by Angel (a subsidiary of Bandai) and released on 25 June 1992, it is based on the legendary 60-volume manga series by Mitsuteru Yokoyama, which adapts the 14th-century classic Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Key Features

• Faithful Adaptation: The game features character designs and story beats directly from the iconic manga and its subsequent anime series, providing a nostalgic experience for fans of the source material.

• Accessible Strategy: While it shares the "Unify China" goal of the Koei Sangokushi series, this title simplifies the management and diplomacy systems, making it more approachable for players new to the simulation genre.

• Dual Gameplay Phases: Players manage their territories through a "Strategy Phase" (building economy and recruiting generals) and lead troops in a "Battle Phase" involving tactical movement across varied terrain.

• Duel System: Capturing the drama of the era, the game allows for one-on-one duels between famous generals, where high-quality sprites showcase the unique combat styles of warriors like Guan Yu and Lu Bu.

Language and Availability

• Official Status: As of April 2026, the game remains a Japan-exclusive title. Because of the vast amount of historical text and menu-driven gameplay, it has not seen an official western localization.

• Fan Translations: While not as famous as Fire Emblem, fan-made translation patches and comprehensive gameplay guides exist online, helping non-Japanese speakers navigate the menus and understand the specific commands required to govern their provinces.
