The cult heavy metal fantasy action-strategy gem comes to PC in HD. Lead your armies from the front lines, giving strategic orders to your forces while wading into hack n’ slash action battle. Crush your foes across four campaigns, and spend the spoils of war on upgrading your forces.
RPG Gamers summaryKingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders is a game that originally gained a cult following back in 2004, which is now being brought to PC with enhancements for modern-day gameplay. Players lead fantasy armies into epic scale medieval warfare taking place across multiple battlefields. The game features a combination of hack-and-slash hero combat and strategic army management, allowing players to directly control one of four legendary heroes to master each hero’s special attacks and combos. Players can also command and upgrade troops, equip them, or change their class to fit their strategy. The game’s tactical map provides the ability to observe the campaign unfolding across a 3D world map while issuing orders to your troops. The game features all-new mouse and keyboard mode plus full controller support, and classic battlefields can be revisited in widescreen HD with the thundering guitar soundtrack that fans remember from the original. With an ever-changing battlefield affected by high winds, rain, and falling aerial units, players must adapt and survive to conquer their foes with sword and sorcery, steel, and strategy. The game also allows players to claim the high ground, burn their enemy out of forests, or hide behind dense walls of smoke. With a vast arsenal of special abilities and spells to call upon in battle, players can reforge their soldiers in the fires of war and fill their army with spectacular special units, including airships and giant monsters.
