"By and large these are all minor gripes. The battle system is a lot of frenetic fun, the writing is sharp, and visually the game is that Level-5 cel-shaded colorful anime that looks fantastic. The 3D is unnecessary, but they appear to have learned from what was irritating in a game like LBX (recent as it was) and really worked to smooth out the rough and awkward edges. Aside from a few clumsy design choices, mostly regarding side mission requirements and scrounging around awkwardly for the few required missions, Yo-Kai Watch is a charming gem that's only helping bolster the claim that fun and full RPG experiences are only getting better on portable hardware. And it's a great and action-ish way to invite newer RPG players into the party without entirely scaring away the more hardcore fans. Just because it's cute and funny doesn't mean it doesn't get tense, like seeing a g-g-g-GHOOOOOOST!"

About
Yo-kai Sangokushi pairs the quirky Yo-kai Watch creatures with the classic Three Kingdoms battles. As one of three Yo-kai turned military leaders, you command units in grid-based combat to reclaim lost jewels and escape a fantasy world. Each match requires positioning characters with distinct abilities and exploiting enemy weaknesses to advance through structured missions. The game stands out by merging slapstick Yo-kai antics with tactical depth. Players navigate a strategy-focused experience where unit classes and terrain play key roles in victory. Historical figures reimagined as Yo-kai add unexpected humor while maintaining the series' playful tone. Launched in 2016 for Nintendo 3DS, it offers a compact campaign ideal for portable strategy fans.
Storyline
While exploring the library of the Springdale Elementary School, Jibanyan, Komasan, and Usapyon find a book titled Yo-kai Sangokushi, which they are teleported into. During the beginning of the game, the player chooses either Jibanyan, Komasan, or Usapyon, and the plot of the game centers around the Yo-kai the player picked. Inside the book, the three Yo-kai are separated and turned into military leaders. They later find out that they need to find eight jewels to return to the real world, which becomes the focus of the game.
