What is War of the Three Kingdoms about? The number one worst-rated game on Steam is War of the Three Kingdoms – with a total of 59,012 negative reviews. The game is based similarly to Total War: Three Kingdoms and Romance of the Three Kingdoms on the years 208 to 280 in China, where three similarly powerful dynasties fought for dominance in the empire.
War of the Three Kingdoms is, however, the first card game with the theme and especially the Chinese players seem to hate it. Unfortunately, this game page is also not available in Germany, so the reviews cannot be easily viewed.

Interestingly, despite being the only game on this list, it still has a few thousand players: The peak was 4,134 simultaneous players in September 2024 and at the time of this list, over 2,700 people are still playing. Since there is also a mobile version in China, it doesn’t seem to be a complete failure.
