The game is set in the world of the Three Kingdoms and features familiar characters from the <em>Kunio-kun<\/em> series, including Kunio and Riki. It includes a story mode for up to 2 players and a \u201cHeroes of the Three Kingdoms: Battle of Red Cliffs\u201d mode for up to 4 players with local and online co-op support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the story mode, players will travel across a vast world that consists of over 120 stages and progress through the story comprised of 6 chapters that let you experience the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Battle of Red Cliffs, and other historical battles. Kunio, the series protagonist, will appear as Guan Yu, and Riki will appear as Sun Quan. The story will branch to three different paths depending on your actions, and of course, you can expect some nonsensical humor just like in other <em>Kunio-kun<\/em> titles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beat \u2018em up RPG River City Saga: Three Kingdoms is launching outside of Japan on July 21, 2022, for PC (Steam), PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch.
