Since its official Vietnamese version release, “Tam Quốc Huyền Tưởng VNG” has garnered significant attention from the gaming community, particularly with its bold declaration: “There are no bad characters, everyone can be a hero.” This is not just a marketing gimmick; the game’s core gameplay is designed around balance and equitable development for all characters, without any initial character being deemed superior.
So, what does “no bad characters” really mean? It implies that when a character reaches the lowest tier, R, they can be upgraded to higher quality tiers. No longer will characters at lower tiers be perceived as useless, along with the previous creativity limitations in the competitive landscape where games merely mimic each other. Tam Quốc Huyền Tưởng VNG allows players to build flexible strategies based on their preferences and individual character development paths, rather than simply conforming to the meta or being limited by UR tier characters.
Instead of being restricted to using a set number of characters at any given time, you can utilize all characters throughout the development process.
At 10:00 AM on June 23, the game officially entered the Alpha Test phase in Vietnam, coinciding with the community’s first test of the claim “no bad characters” to see if it holds true.
According to many players’ assessments, the Alpha Test experience of Tam Quốc Huyền Tưởng VNG is quite impressive, reflecting VNGGames’ meticulous attention to detail in its initial phase. Both servers operated smoothly, with players reporting no lag or network congestion, a significant point considering the community’s size relative to this product.
“During the testing process, I felt that the initial content was quite rich and clear, helping newcomers like me easily grasp the character system, combat mechanics, skills, and basic gameplay,” shared a player.
Notably, the art design of Tam Quốc Huyền Tưởng VNG has created a significant attraction. The game features a modern anime style combined with fantasy elements while still retaining the unique essence of the Three Kingdoms characters. Many players expressed that they felt as if they were watching a high-quality animated film during gameplay, thanks to the vibrant character designs.
Regarding the “no bad characters” system, the practical experience has confirmed this notion. In a formation of up to six characters, players can only use up to three UR characters available, meaning some characters can already start at the UR level. The remaining three slots must be filled by players upgrading from lower-tier characters such as R, SR, or SSR to UR.
The process of upgrading characters is quite simple with the right materials, opening opportunities to achieve UR status for each character.
This system not only clearly demonstrates the lower-tier characters’ potential but also opens up hundreds of build paths depending on strategy, preferences, and creativity of each player. Moreover, utilizing various national characters in formations can activate passive buffs for each character, enhancing their strengths and effectiveness.
Upgrading a character from R tier to a higher-quality tier is not overly complicated. Players simply need to gather materials to raise their characters and also need to engage in various daily activities to earn the necessary materials. Additionally, characters do not have a “premium lock” that forces players to spend money; every character can be achieved through gameplay and reasonable time investment.
Even though this is just the Alpha Test, Tam Quốc Huyền Tưởng VNG is already showing signs of its completion regarding every aspect of the product. Not only does it create a vibrant community atmosphere, but it also showcases familiar Three Kingdoms elements while breaking down barriers, emphasizing that strategic gameplay must be strong enough to match the character development system across all quality tiers.
It is evident that the collaboration between Qookka Games—a subsidiary of Alibaba’s leading technology group—and the publisher VNGGames, is creating a deep impact on the gameplay and narrative, establishing a new focal point for the Vietnamese strategic gaming market by the end of 2025.
