Kingdom Under Fire: A War of Heroes
Kingdom Under Fire: A War of Heroes
Description (IGDB)
Kingdom Under Fire included single-player and multiplayer online modes through Phantagram's "Wargate" server. The game is the first release in the Kingdom Under Fire series which later received critical acclaim through the Xbox release Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders, a game which, like others in the series, incorporated both role-playing and real-time strategy elements. A "Gold Patch" was released for Kingdom Under Fire which introduced a map editor, extra missions, and in-game save option; the version was also re-released as Kingdom Under Fire Gold. Two factions, light and dark, are playable in the game, with each side having units fulfilling the typical roles of warrior, archer, flying unit and wizards – as well as more powerful individual hero characters. The campaigns are split into 13 missions of which 10 are battles and the other three being a dungeon crawl for a hero character. Skirmish and multiplayer modes were also supported, with online games with human opponents organized via the Wargate.Net server.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Just the right mix of graphics, sound and strategy to make for an entertaining evening of orc-bashing. »
« If we disregard the disgusting Curian, the gay knight who should be the main hero in this game (a really repulsive creature and his voice-over just goes to prove it), the rest of the heroes are really cool. »
« Ultimately, while Kingdom Under Fire might be considered a Korean homage to Blizzard, there’s plenty here to enjoy in its own right. »
« Keep an eye on the patches for Kingdom Under Fire, once the major AI and multiplayer issues are resolved, it will be worth a second look. »
« I could criticize KUF for an overall lack of spirit, but beyond this nebulous quality, there are some real concrete problems with the game. First and foremost, the game is too hard. »
« Great graphics and storyline can't quite make up for its lackluster AI and tedious gameplay. »
« At first look, it seemed to be a tired plot revisited. However, the more times it was played, the easier it was to get into the game, and to even enjoy it. »
« Great for RTS newbies or serious "WarCraft" fans, but gaming vets will feel major deja vu. [May 2001, p.39] »
