Dan Zuccarelli reviews Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom for Siliconera.
"In getting ready to play Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom I must admit that I've never played any of the Kingdom Under Fire games. Hell, I didn't even realize there were any others. So I came into this game about as fresh as they come. No expectations, no previous experience. I honestly didn't even know what type of game it was."
In conclusion, he would not recommend the game.
"In talking to the people I played with (in online co-op), almost everyone was a fan of the previous games and all of those felt this was a step backward for the series as a whole. Common complaints included the disjointed storyline and the awkward leveling system...
While I enjoyed the time I spent with it while in multiplayer, I don't think I could ever play through the game more than once. It will probably satisfy series fans, and maybe even fans of the action-rpg genre. But for everyone else, you'll most likely want to look elsewhere. The combat here is far to repetitive to entertain most everyone else."
Following Electronic Theatre’s recent series of articles revealing all-new details on the highly anticipated Kingdom Under Fire II, today we have something a bit different. Having now been at the forefront of Action RTS gaming for more than a decade, the Kingdom Under Fire series is a shining light for the genre. And now approaching it’s fifth title, Blueside has taken the time to explain to Electronic Theatre’s just how Kingdom Under Fire II fits into the Kingdom Under Fire universe.
Looking forward to the game but is there a official release date of the game yet?
Kingdom Under Fire II is currently in development at BLUESIDE Inc. for PC online and console, and aims to perfect the Action Strategy genre that the series is best known for. Set to continue the ten year legacy of the Kingdom Under Fire series, Kingdom Under Fire II will be the fifth release in the successful videogame franchise.
So, Boxing Day is upon us. Did you get what you really wanted? Well, I'm sure any videogames you may have gotten are already/soon-to-be completed, and you're hungry for more. With the January Sales right around the corner, it's time to take a look at some more of 2008's greatest achievers; disc-based retail releases from February...
