水浒英雄传：八幕战役

水浒英雄传：八幕战役 is a 2D isometric real-time strategy game set in the world of Water Margin. Players command outlaws including Song Jiang, Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen and Wu Song across eight missions drawn from the story, such as the rescue of Lin Chong in Wild Boar Forest, the seizure of the birthday convoy, the confrontation with Jiang Menshen, the raid on the Jiangzhou execution ground, the assault on Zhu Family Manor, breaking the chained cavalry, the infiltration of Daming Prefecture and the final battle against Gao Qiu. Every mission can be selected directly from the outset, and objectives vary between stealth rescues, bait-and-counter duels, camp building, cutting off reinforcements and combined land-and-water operations.

The core mechanics follow a familiar RTS structure. Workers gather gold and wood, and players build barracks and watchtowers, train troops, recruit heroes and research upgrades. Heroes are used for key actions while the player manages troops, supplies and escape routes. Fog of war, control groups, patrols and garrisons are available for splitting forces between attack and defence, and unit roles can be combined with hero abilities.

Beyond the campaign, a defence mode offers 20-, 30- and 60-wave presets, and single-player 1v1 skirmishes let players set AI difficulty and victory conditions against a computer opponent that gathers, builds, trains and attacks. An arena allows experimentation with heroes and abilities, and a hero compendium provides reference information. A built-in scenario editor supports placing terrain, units, decorations, reinforcements, waves and victory conditions, with scenarios saved locally for play, while a separate defence configuration editor adjusts units, abilities and enemy waves. The game has now been released, and its interface is currently available in Simplified Chinese only.
