Released in 1993, Sangoku Densetsu (lit: Legend of the Three Kingdoms), known in America and other English-speaking countries as Sangoku Legends, is a beat-em-up loosely based on the Three Kingdoms of ancient China. Gameplay-wise, it plays similar to Capcom's Warriors of Fate/Tenchi wo Kurau II, which was released a year before.

Unlike the aforementioned Warriors of Fate, which lost its original Three Kingdoms elements in translation, most of the Three Kingdoms elements are retained in Sangoku Legends' Western release, though most of the Chinese names were translated with their Japanese reading (e.g. "Lu Bu" becomes "Ryo-Fu")
