Key Updates Since the Previous Steam Playtest
Following the Steam Playtest held from May 22 to May 26, 2026, the Steam Next Fest demo introduces several major updates.
New Board Performance Mode
Instead of the asynchronous ranking mode featured in the previous playtest, this demo introduces Board Performance, a stage-clearing tactical mode. Players progress through 14 stages, earn new warlords by clearing stages, and use their growing roster to take on greater challenges.
Updated Strategists and Warlord Abilities
The available strategists have been refreshed, replacing Cai Yan with Guo Jia, Da Qiao, and Zhuge Liang. Warlord abilities have also been reworked to create deeper tactical choices and stronger battlefield synergies.
Improved Battle Presentation and Added Voice Elements
Battle effects and visual clarity have been improved throughout the game. Additional voice elements have also been added during key moments, such as ability activations, enhancing the intensity and atmosphere of the auto-battler experience.
About SANGOKUSHI BOND
“Build your army. Form powerful Bonds. Outthink your opponents to claim the realm.”
SANGOKUSHI BOND is an evolution of the deck-building roguelite, army battler, and auto-battler genres, set in the world of the Three Kingdoms.
There are no action controls, no reliance on reflexes, and no pay-to-win progression. Every player competes under the same conditions. Victory depends purely on strategy: recruiting the right warlords, forming the best army, positioning units effectively, and reading the opponent’s plan.
Each battle is short, intense, and decided by tactical decision-making alone.
Key Features
Fully Draft-Based Strategy
There are no fixed “template” formations. In each match, players choose from randomly presented warlords and build the most effective army for the situation at hand.
Powerful Bonds Beyond History
Warlords can create powerful synergies through their relationships and abilities. Players can form dream teams that go beyond historical alliances and turn the tide of battle.
Over 100 Newly Illustrated Warlords
The game features more than 100 newly illustrated warlords, brought to life by a team of talented artists. Additional characters are planned through future updates.
Fair, Fast-Paced Tactical Battles
There are no complicated controls and no power advantages from paid upgrades. Victory is determined by positioning, formations, ability timing, and strategic reading.
Three Core Modes Planned for the Full Release
Board Performance (Quest mode)
An ultimate command trial mode where players can see global clear rates for every stage.
Gunshi Chronicle (Asynchronous Battles)
An asynchronous battle mode where players face data from other players, climb the ranks, and aim to rise through the world of strategists.
Mandate Battle (Real-Time PvP)
A weekend-only real-time PvP mode where players read hidden intentions, outmaneuver opponents, and battle for the top.
