While Prince of Qin does feature a complex and lengthy story, it was designed as an action RPG. As such, gamers should not look for it to offer the kind of depth and involvement it was never intended to have. Those who expect it to be a hardcore RPG will very likely be disappointed. From the action perspective, the game can provide some hack and slash-type fun backed by the unusual weapon and item creation system through which you can constantly pursue improvements in your characters' equipment. The only hitch in this respect is that the complexity of the story tends to require the accomplishment of multiple objectives in each chapter. As a result, completing them and moving on to the next is not always as straightforward as in various other titles bearing the same label. Whether this is a good thing or not is a matter of your personal preference.
