Yo-kai Sangokushi Rom

[Barton Ostby]

KouShibusawa, Akihiro Hino, and Hisashi Koinuma are producers of the Yo-kai Watch collaboration. The collaboration was a dream title, as they admired each other's sense of humor and the multimedia potential of the game. The game aims to be easy for anyone new to history or Yo-Kai Watch. Pre-orders include a Komasan Sun Ce Legend Medal and figure strap.

Jibanyan, Komasan, and USApyon find a mysterious book called Youkai Sangokushi. When they open it, they are teleported into the book as characters within the narrative. Trapped by the book's powers and forced to act as famous Three Kingdom figures, they must unify the divided Sakura Country to find their way back home.

Characters navigate a 3D isometric grid, utilizing night and day cycles and wandering yo-kai for potential battles. Teams can reach up to six members if ally yo-kai are nearby. Yo-jutsu allows characters to attack normally or unleash magic.

Two opposing yo-kai may initiate a duel, draining each other's morale gauge. Players can strengthen their characters by pressing the A button. Winning battles increases the protagonist's Ruler Level, which affects potential ally yo-kai quality, increasing chances of rarer joining.

Outside of battles, players can have their yo-kai hunt for items or raise morale to improve their battle performance. Items to bolster or heal their yo-kai can be purchased at Yorozu-Mart. Once the player has access to Shoutenji, they can fuse yo-kai and fusion items together to create stronger yo-kai. "Unchiku Corner" provides a summary of major events of the Three Kingdoms period using Romance of the Three Kingdoms 13 visuals.

There are over 400 different yo-kai, two of which include Oda Nobunyaga and Tenko. Yo-kai reprise their voiced roles from other games for this entry. Legendary yo-kai have special conditions for unlocking them such as collecting S coins or unlocking a specific class of yo-kai. They can be summoned randomly through the Yo-kai gatcha. There are many rare yo-kai that can only be obtained through the machine.

If the player owns real separately sold Youkai Sangokushi medals, they can upgrade their yo-kai to become stronger legendary warriors or summon exclusive rare yo-kai. Owning the other Yo-Kai Watch Nintendo 3DS titles (both versions of Busters and every version of Yo-Kai Watch 2) grants players the privilege to use unique yo-kai.

Players collect medals in booster packs called "Youkai Medal Sangokushi" to unlock yo-kai in the game. The game was showcased at Level 5's booth at World Hobby Fair Winter '16 and advertised on Business Style's February 14 broadcast.

Youkai Watch Puni Puni has a collaboration event with this game; it's the second campaign dedicated to players earning a real Kuro-oni Lu Bu medal. The protagonist yo-kai were available for as limited time characters.

Players who live in Japan can link up to TSUTAYA's 3DS wireless services on TSUTAYA de DS to play two limited time mini-games. Winning the games rewards complementary wallpapers. Connecting to the retailer's service raises the player's chances of earning Kirameki Xiahou Yuan and Oyamori Yuan Shu until July 3, 2016.
