Though the game can be played completely in real time, you can pause the action at any point by hitting the space bar, a feature that will frequently save your characters' lives in the middle of a battle. Those who've played Baldur's Gate and Diablo II will be quick to note that the gameplay of Prince of Qin draws directly from both these games.

The game doesn't just play it straight, but heavily incorporates magic and mysticism into the gameworld, making for a setting that's actually quite distinctive. Though the characters and the places in Prince of Qin are based on historical information, for the purposes of turning them into role-playing game material, plenty of liberties were taken. In so doing, he disguises himself as a simple commoner, and then goes off on a lengthy adventure where he'll meet new allies and plenty of enemies and discover the source of corruption within the royal family. The game offers up a 'what if' scenario in which the prince suspects foul play when the order arrives, so rather than kill himself, he flees to investigate. The main character of the game is actually a real historical figure, regarded as a hero of the era, but one whose life was tragically cut short by a false order demanding that the prince take his own life. Throughout the single-player portion of Prince of Qin, you play as Fu Su, a prince living in exile. Ancient China makes a fine setting for a role-playing game. And though Prince of Qin is an epic adventure in the same vein as the Baldur's Gate games, a decidedly awkward English translation, some lackluster production values, and a poorly implemented multiplayer mode all prevent it from having the same appeal as the games that influenced it. Prince of Qin is inspired in equal parts by popular role-playing games like Baldur's Gate and Diablo II, making for an experience that should be familiar for role-playing gamers, despite the unfamiliar setting.

It is in this setting that Prince of Qin, a role-playing game from Beijing-based Object Software, takes place. Though the Roman Empire is sometimes considered to be the first great civilization, China had been there and done that hundreds of years earlier-the Qin (pronounced 'chin') Dynasty, dating back to around 220 BC, had all the token features: lots of political intrigue, social conflict, and outright war. Ancient China has been the setting for any number of exciting martial arts-themed Hong Kong action movies, but still, it's an era largely unknown to Western audiences.
