If you like the fantasy genre then you'll like this basic game. It has it all, the young warrior passing through a village that is attacked by an orcish horde. Conversely, you can be the very orcs that attacks, burning and pillaging the same exact village. Blending RTS and RPG works fairly well be prepared to play long into the night once a battle is started because there is NO in game save...however master stratigists neednt worry for the AI just sit back kick your feet up and watch the cut scenes and immerse yourself in this fantasy realm.

A definite must for fantasy fans

If you like the Warcraft series and the Diablo games than you'll like this game too. It basically combines the two formats into one and creates a worthwhile gaming experience. It's nothing original as far as the gameplay but it is still a very fun and exciting game.

A must for the RTS game fans!

First of all, the graphic of this game is awesome. Since I once was a huge fan of Starcraft and Warcraft II, this game has some similarities and differences with those games. This game has the Heroes, which make players of this game get in deeply involved. Also you can play as RPG mode like Diablo II. The movements and motions of the characters are very smooth and realistic. Sound? A++! However, this game is quiet similar with Starcraft. Nevertheless, special moves and magic attacks are fantastic, thanks to advanced technology. This game is not perfect yet, but some future patches will definitly make this game a big hit! Caution, this game is highly addictive! I play about 2-3 hours daily. Over all, I strongly recommand this game!

RTS meets RPG

This game is not even fnished and it is already looking great. It seemlessly combines RTS elements with RPG elements and is a must for any true gamer. Even if you hate RTS's and RPG's you will love this game. I have only played the demo, but it is great.

Warcraft on Steroids!!

I would describe Kingdom Under Fire as Warcraft on steroids. If you enjoyed Warcraft and Warcraft II this game is for you!!

I first got intoplay with this game after seeing my friend play the demo and after getting into it, soon enough I thought "Wow, this looks like an exhlirating game; I have to buy it" So about months later I did, and I have to say the Single Campaign mode is pure awesome, real time effects real depth and background to the character and the RPG modes andinterfaces have been done really well, e.g when you are searching for the Drwafen Leader with Curian". YheROG modes are just specifically for the heroes, Kiether, Rick Blood etc etc..

Unfortunately the let down is that in the Custom Campaign mode you can have no allies and 1 type of gameplay which is "Melee", when in battle all the AI players are automatically aligned withe ach other so if you had 8 people including yoruself, it would be a 1v7 match.
Though it is still good for an RPGS RTS game, it takes Age of Empires style to a new level being able to cast magic, summon demons etc. You can have allies in the Story Comapiagn mode though.
If you like the odds against and like fidning about the heroes and casting magic, then this game is for you.

A really Good Game

Kingdom Under Fire was a really good game and, I enjoyed it immensely. Unfortunately I lost the CDKEY and was unable to reinstall it after my computer crashed so, I haven't played it lately. To me it was an equal to the Warcraft games and, I would play it again if I could only reacquire another key in order to get the game to reinstall.

Don't waste your money.

The box looks cool; the idea is good and that's about it. This games tries to mix two game-play styles (i.e.: Diablo & War Craft). The War Craft duplicate is good but it lacks the diversity of the original. It doesn't have as many advanced characters and using spells is tricky. The Diablo imitation is even less impressive. Armor and other equipment is a joke and trying to manage two players is a pain. The AI is laughable and the cut screens are unavoidable and annoying.

Wait for War Craft III
