Diablo-style depth. One more run.
Three Kingdoms Survivors puts the heroes of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms into a dark, painted survivor ARPG. Hundreds of rebels, cavalry and crossbowmen pour in while your skills fire on their own. Every level gives you a skill point, and every elite can drop the item that changes your build.
Your hero is permanent. Level, skills and gear carry from act to act and from session to session, all stored in your browser. Fall in battle and you rise again at the start of the act, losing only some gold.
Read the beginner guide →- Choose a heroSix heroes, each with three Diablo II-style skill trees of ten skills, a level-30 capstone, a Musou ultimate and their own weapon type.
- Fight, level, lootSpend a point on every level, hunt white, blue, gold, green and unique items, and fill your potion belt.

The questions worth answering first.
What is Three Kingdoms Survivors?
A free action RPG in the survivor style that runs in your browser. You pick a hero from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, move through huge armies while your skills attack automatically, and build your hero with skill trees and loot, like in Diablo II.
Is it free?
Yes. All six Shu heroes, all three acts and every difficulty are free, with no account and nothing to install. The website and game are supported by ads. If you want more, the optional Warlord Edition is a one-time US$9.99 purchase that adds four more generals and removes all ads.
Do I need to download anything?
No. It runs in any modern browser. After the first visit it also works offline, and you can add it to your home screen like an app.
Does my progress save?
Yes, in this browser’s local storage. Each hero keeps their level, skills, items, potions and the acts they reached. There is no server and no database. Clearing site data erases it, so export a backup from Saves in the game.
What happens when I die?
You keep your level, skills and items, lose half of the gold you picked up in that attempt, and rise again at the start of the same act. You never have to start from zero.
Can I play on my phone?
Yes. Drag anywhere to move, tap the blue globe for Musou and tap a potion to drink it. The inventory and skill tree work by tapping.
Can I switch to Chinese?
Yes. Use the language switch at the top of any page, or Options in the game. The game and website are available in English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
Is this an official game?
No. It is an independent fan-made game inspired by the 14th-century novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms and by survivor and action RPG games. It is not affiliated with any game publisher.
What is the Warlord Edition?
An optional one-time purchase of US$9.99. It unlocks four hidden playable generals, Lü Bu, Cao Cao, Diao Chan and Sun Shangxiang, each with a full 30-skill tree and their own Musou, and removes all ads for good. There is no subscription. See the Warlord Edition.
Why are there ads, and what data do they use?
Ads from Google pay for hosting and development so the game can stay free. Google may use cookies to show and measure ads; in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland you are asked for consent first. Your game saves never leave your browser. Details are in the Privacy Policy.
How do I win, and how hard is it?
Each act ends when you beat its boss, who arrives at 7:00. Clear all three acts on Normal to unlock Nightmare, then Hell, then ten Torment tiers. The first minutes of each act are gentle; after that the War Director sends tougher troops if you are cruising and eases off if you are struggling.
I lost my save or bought the Warlord Edition on another device. What now?
Saves live in each browser, so export a backup from Saves in the game before you switch devices. A Warlord Edition purchase can be restored on any browser from Options → Restore purchase, using your purchase email and the last 4 digits of the card you paid with.
