This is a important part of the game and take your time and think ahead before throwing your xp points around. Like I mentioned earlier, every character in the game can be customized to an extent with new weapons, equipment, magic and skill levels. When the action is thick there are lots of combos and physical and magical special attacks that can be learnt so try and keep up with the little helper screens to vary up your attacks. It's good to have some patience with Kingdoms and and if it's hard at first, don't worry you will get the hang of things quickly. KUF: Heroes can get a little crazy when trying to control you're a few groups of solders at once, but on their defense it's handled the best it could with the Xbox controller. The difficulty ramps up gradually and has a really gets tough near the half way mark in the game. This helps keep you on your toes in your first play through. Each mission will have some objectives to complete but usually you don't know what you will be doing next until you are half way in the mission. You won't have to worry about the action stopping too soon because there are over 50 missions which boasts at least 50 hours of gameplay time.

This combination of action and strategy still hasn't been touched by another game and fans of this new series can still feel some pride in discovering this little gem. Both portions of the game are pretty strong and although the game helps you out in the beginning you will be more on your own as things progress. The thing that makes the Kingdom under Fire series unique is that you will be doing both at the same time. Of course the Dark Legion characters are a little more satisfying with a more unique move set and interesting plot details.įor the gameplay Heroes is set up like two games, one real time strategy and the other is your typical hack n' slash action. Each character has their own set of attributes, moves and special abilities to keep it interesting. For the Dark Legion we have the Dark Elf Cirith, sexy half vampire Morene, King Valdemar's vampire Knight son Leinhart, Cirith and the huge ogre of destruction Urukabarr. On the humans side there is the elven half breed Ecclesian Captain Ellen along with Hironeian Warrior Rupert, and the agent of god Walter. In Heroes you can control up to seven warriors from each side of the war that is arising. Kingdom Under Fire has it all and if you are into medieval stories then I'd have to say Kingdom is pretty intriguing on that level. Even without the story attached the game is still fun to hack-slash and strategize, but even if you don't want to you will pick up the story because these characters are always blabbing on about something and usually it's in the middle of frenzied battle. If you never played the first title don't worry, it's not essential that you know whats going on. The Game:Kingdom Under Fire: Heroes takes place five years before The Crusaders and it has the same drama-esq squabbles of kings, allies, alliances and Dark Legions to draw you in before, after and while you do your killing. KOF: Heroes, like 2004's KOF: The Crusaders has more of the same elf human drama, fast paced action and RTS strategy all rolled into a stylized heavy metal package. Introduction: The unique strategy action series Kingdom under Fire has returned for another Xbox Exclusive adventure.
