Sangokushi IV - PS1 NTSC-J Japan. Condition is "Very good".
**Please note: This is for the Japanese PS1 console or region free mod consoles!
It's the era of the Second Han Dynasty, and China is being overrun by powerful warlords. A struggle for power among the court families has spawned a time known as the Three Kingdoms, and it's up to you (as the current ruler) to restore peace to your troubled country. Rebuild the land by creating a strong military or try to outwit your opponents using negotiation.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV: Wall of Fire (Sangokushi IV in Japan) is the fourth game in Koei's Romance of the Three Kingdoms series. Wall of Fire was the first game for the Playstation & Saturn consoles and the last in the series to be released on PC in the U.S. until Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI.
GAMEPLAY:
In this update, ships can make other ships catch on fire. As well, archers can also fire flaming arrows at other soldiers and catapults. The graphics are enhanced and there are more things to do within the bounds of ancient China herself. The player can even summon barbarians to do raids on enemy territory. There are four different scenarios, each carrying one ultimate goal: the complete reunification of China. Alliances and friendships can hold back the tide of war and invasion but in the end, the player only holds allegiance to himself.
Such betrayal of a ruler's allies will be witnessed often as the AI is not geared towards long-term friendship, and eventually its need to conquer China before the human player will override its need for partnership and multilateralism. In this pre-modern time, not only is unilateralism accepted, it is expected for most rulers in the 3rd century to have their nations be militarily superior to other nations in case of war or civil disorder.
POWER UP KIT:
A separate powerup kit was released for the Chinese and Japanese versions of the PC game, allowing further customization of characters in the game. PlayStation, Sega Saturn, and Dreamcast ports of the game included the power-up kit.
Features:
# Includes 46 playable characters
# 558 officers to interact with
# Awesome weapons
# Full-motion video
# Eight-player action

PREPARE TO BE ROMANCED!
