Tokyo developer Get Wrapped Up, led by former Sega producer Yasuhiro Nishiyama, has announced a release window for Sangokushi BOND.
Their new roguelite deckbuilder autobattler strategy game is set in the classic Romance of the Three Kingdoms setting and utilizes Nishiyama’s pedigree on hit series like Sangokushi Taisen and maimai.
Sangokushi BOND is in development for Windows PC (via Steam) and will launch globally sometime this summer. The game will support online multiplayer and Japanese, English, and Chinese languages.
Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a trailer and a gameplay overview trailer:
Master the chaos. Execute the perfect strategy. Outsmart them all. From the legendary Japanese creator Yasuhiro Nishiyama (former SEGA producer of “Sangokushi Taisen” & “maimai”). Recruit generals from an ever-changing roster to forge unbreakable bonds (BOND).
Forget the “Meta”, Roguelite “Full Draft” System
- Roguelite Recruitment: Every match in SANGOKUSHI BOND begins with a fresh set of possibilities. Navigate a boardgame-style map to recruit your generals and build a unique army from the hand you are dealt.
- Dynamic Teambuilding: Players must adapt to randomized pools while managing costs, the only guaranteed path to victory is your strategy. No two battles play out the same, discover powerful formations and outsmart your opponent with a plan that only works in that moment!
- Strategic Cost Management: Carry over resources for future rounds.
- Risk for Reward: Pick weaker units early to build late-game power.
- Unique Tactical Synergies: Build “miracle formations” that only work in the moment.
No fixed strategies, no “Meta” sites. Every match sparks a completely new strategy.
Ultimate Mind Games: Find the “Perfect Placement“
Victory is decided before the clash begins. Study your opponent’s formation in advance and place your generals on the grid-based battlefield to counter their strategy. Success depends on reading unit counters, skill ranges, and potential for ambushes.
Three Pillars Unit Counters
- Cavalry → Strong against Archers
- Archers → Strong against Spears
- Spears → Strong against Cavalry
“Hide Cavalry behind Spears for a surprise charge.”
“Use high-INT generals to reveal hidden ambushes.”
The pre-battle placement is the ultimate highlight of the experience.
Once deployment ends, the fight plays out entirely on the accuracy of your strategy and positioning – ultimately your decisions as battlefield commander.
