Yo-kai Sangokushi

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.
