It also does not help at all that there are minimal instructions for the PC controls, and the tutorial training missions in towns only refer to Xbox controls only. Clunky PC Controlsįor starters for an apparent PC port, the controls feel horrible and clunky, and I do not recommend attempting to play this game with a keyboard and mouse. However, I did encounter some major problems in regards to the voice dubbing and the PC controls for the game. I really liked the unique blend of both RPG elements with that of strategy with the dash of action hack and slash games. Overall I would say I did not have any problems with the gameplay.
At times It can feel out of place, but eventually, once things start kicking up accompanies battles nicely. The game’s battles also have an interesting choice of musical soundtracks, which primarily is heavy metal. I found this system to be both engaging and fun to use, especially when outnumbered by enemy units. The combat system also has an interesting system involving officers, where if you press either two-button combinations, one of the officers will perform a special attack. The combat during these battles was also spot on and felt overall enjoyable and familiar to similar titles like God of War and a lesser-known one called BLADESTORM. The battles during these missions were also immersive and intense It was a joy to control the various choices of units during these battles utilize the spells and unique abilities.Įach of them felt unique, and all their special abilities felt great in use my favorite so far was the archers and their flame arrow special power. The missions played well and provided for some really engaging and immersive gameplay.
Nevertheless, it still manages to provide both a fun and engaging experience that can honestly rival some games released nowadays. Overall the gameplay, I must say, holds up rather well after all these years- sixteen to be exact- despite being a dated title as painfully shown through the dated graphics. These can range from raining giant meteors from the sky to the typical healing spells or even an explosive suicide attack ability for the ghoul unit in the game. Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders also has a pretty extensive spell system and unit special abilities to help turn the tide of battles. The game also has some additional features such as unit customization in the form of purchasing weapons and armor for them with gold earned after battles in towns. The player will control them through a 3rd person perspective, including their hero lord, which they will control directly once they come in contact with an enemy unit. Commanding these units during missions is also what makes up the majority of the game. Players also have several units to command during these missions, along with their commander. These missions also make up the battles in the game, where players will encounter various types of enemies, depending on the campaign chosen at the start. Sometimes in these missions, players will be defending a retreating army or burning down enemy encampments or even protecting diplomatic messengers through orc infested woods.

Players will command whoever they choose, be it the humans or The Dark Legion through a series of missions with varying objectives.
The premise of this game revolves around commanding one of four choices of heroes, two for each faction The Humans and The Dark Legion. Today I’ll be sharing my thoughts and experiences I had while playing the Steam release of the game. Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders first released back in 2004 on Xbox is the second game in the Kingdom Under Fire series, and recently it received a PC port onto both Steam and GOG. Genre: RPG, Strategy, Hack and Slash, Action
