Bandit Kings of Ancient China

Set during the waning years of the Song Dynasty, this strategy game draws inspiration from the classic novel Water Margin and casts the player as a commander rallying ten legendary bandits to forge a formidable military force. With the Jurchen invasion looming on the horizon, time becomes a critical factor as the faction races to topple Gao Qiu, the corrupt Minister of War whose ruthlessness has destabilized the empire. Success requires more than battlefield prowess—players must juggle economic management, levy taxes wisely, and maintain the morale of their troops to prevent rebellion and sustain their growing army. The narrative unfolds against a backdrop of historical upheaval, challenging the player to unify outlaw forces and pursue justice before foreign conquest reshapes the realm forever.
