Their clash echoes timeless conflicts, drawing parallels to legendary duos like Loki vs. Thor, Anakin vs. Obi-Wan, Magneto vs. Professor X, Zod vs. Superman (as seen in 'Man of Steel'), and Ramses vs. Moses.
But this saga is not limited to Rome alone. Prepare for a mesmerizing adventure infused with exploration and self-discovery as we introduce a traveler from the far reaches of the Wu Empire during the Three Kingdoms Period. Through this original character's eyes, you will experience the Roman Empire from a unique outsider's perspective. Daqin, the ancient name for the Roman Empire, beckons us to uncover its secrets.
If you are drawn to series like The Witcher, Vikings, Britannia, Game of Thrones, and the game Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, you will find the magnetic pull of Daqin Saga irresistible.
