Total War: Three Kingdoms - Mandate of Heaven Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Mandate of Heaven is the best kind of expansion for a replayable sandbox strategy game like Total War: Three Kingdoms. Rather than creating a new scenario, it recontextualizes the existing one and in turn serves to make it a deeper and more satisfying experience.
The best Three Kingdoms DLC so far - a stirring rendition of the final days of the Han, the people who rose against them, and the humble heroes whose ambitions would change China forever.
Total War: Three Kingdoms remains the only game to have ever been given a mythical 10/10 review score by me. To this day, it is still a game that I'll gladly jump on and every single bit of praise I gave it then is still something I love about it now. It's a beautiful game, absolutely lovely to behold, a strategy game that gives you characters to grow with, alongside an engaging army building system as well as a strong city development system, both of which further increase the level of personalisation and customisation on offer.

Mandate of Heaven may not be a total overhaul to the series' formula but it still offers a lot of new things. The familiar map and lackluster new units are offset by the entertaining new styles of play, new heroes and interesting events. Definitely worth checking out if you've been itching to get back into Three Kingdoms.
Mandate of Heaven is an interesting DLC that adds the events leading up to and including the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Incite the rebellion or attempt to crush it, it's your choice. Be prepared for challenging situations that may frustrate you and make you want to stop. Longtime fans of the series and genre may appreciate the challenge more.
