Cao Cao's Campaign is the predecessor to the Jiang Wei's Campaign game in the Magic Tower: Three Kingdoms Series, and the pre-predecessor to Chaos Across Time. Following Magic Tower: Three Kingdoms: Swallow the Earth, it serves as the inaugural title of this series. The game features a linear narrative with multiple choices and multiple endings.
In this game, the player takes on the role of Jiang Wei's father (from the next generation's Jiang Wei's Campaign), set in an alternate historical background. The final boss is Cao Cao.
The chests in the starting area provide initial supplies and the General Tokens needed for immediate recruitment upon leaving. After this, recruiting generals requires giving them the corresponding quantity of different tiered General Tokens.
The type and quantity of General Tokens required to recruit a general will vary depending on that general's attribute values and abilities. New General Tokens can be obtained through subsequent quests and chests.
This game follows a linear scenario design. You must defeat the boss of the current stage to progress to the next one – for example, the Village Chief in the starter village.
As it was developed earlier, the combat system lacks an acceleration/speed-up function. However, its gameplay and fun factor were still well-received among players who experienced it.
Since it's also quite old, many details are no longer clearly remembered. If you need a walkthrough, please follow the instructions on the official account "Zhua Gou Li" (search/input to join group) to join the game's WeChat group and discuss it with veteran players who have played it.
Of course, it would be even better if you could create a walkthrough. We will reward you with a 100,000-point redemption code for any game in our catalog that you desire. We hope players will actively contribute!
This installment also features a maze just before reaching the main city, increasing the exploration difficulty because low-cost HP recovery is impossible within this area.
After all, it was completed/released back in 2022, and too many details are forgotten. I'll stop writing here for now and may update the description later if I remember more.
