三国志 BOND

Sangokushi BOND, a deck-building roguelite army battle game from developer Gerappa, entered Steam early access on July 14, 2026. The buy-to-play title, priced at 760 yen, was created by Yasuhiro Nishiyama, known for the Sangokushi Taisen series. The early access build includes three modes: Board Performance, a stage-clear mode with global leaderboards; Gunshi Chronicle, an asynchronous versus mode against other players' past data; and Rival Match, an online real-time friend match mode. A fourth mode, Tenmei Sen, a weekend-limited real-time PvP mode, is planned for later.

The game's design emphasizes fairness and short-term strategy, with no action controls and no pay-to-win elements. Players recruit Three Kingdoms generals through a full draft system within a cost limit, then position them on a grid before battles resolve automatically. The early access version features over 100 generals with newly drawn illustrations. Four time-saving DLC packs, one for each of the Wei, Shu, Wu, and Qunxiong factions, launched alongside the game at 500 yen each, granting immediate access to 11 officers plus cosmetic items, though all officers can be earned through normal gameplay.

One month after launch, the producer assessed the game's balance as about 40 percent complete, indicating the team will keep expanding it. To mark the early access milestone, Get Wrapped Up announced a sale from August 14 to August 27, with the main game at 608 yen and the DLC packs at 450 yen each. A 12-hour livestream on August 14 features development team battles, voice actor talks, and influencer segments, with viewers able to earn a development team icon or a special title by defeating the team or producer Nishiyama.
