Kingdom Under Fire gets MMO sequel News

PC Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 MMO
News by Robert Purchese

28 January, 2008

Korean developer Blueside is teaming up with Phantagram to create a Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders sequel.

It will take the series back to its tactical roots after upcoming action RPG spin-off Circle of Doom, and will be a self-confessed pioneer of the MMOARTS genre (massively multiplayer online action real-time strategy).

This, ambitiously, means you and thousands of others can siege castles and wage war online, as any one of three factions: Human Alliance, Dark Kingdom and mysterious new addition.

There will be a single-player campaign to romp through as well, promising a deep storyline and lots of drama between characters. Like Neighbours.

On top of all of that are boasts of spectacular graphics which, judging by the first batch of shots, sounds reasonable.

Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders appeared on Xbox in 2004 and blended action with RTS. It was well received and followed by KUF: Heroes a year later.

Kingdom Under Fire II is due out on PC and consoles in 2009.

No comments yet? For shame! No doubt this will be a true Korean Grind 'em up of the most hardcore nature. Good to know they will also go back to the tactical game after the recent Circle of Doom 'N3' clone.

I'm surprised that the games are selling enough to warrant the developers to put in place yet another bad idea.

Why the hell is this a bad idea? Because it's ambitious? The game will have a solo mode so that's fine, it'll offer an experience similar to the original games, but the online idea is incredible, especially if they pull it off.

Circle of Doom (also by Blueside) is so bad to mediocre that I find my enthusiasm sapped. Then again, going back to strategy may be a good idea.

Nice to see one MMORTS game on this MMo site, the genre has only been around 10 years, understandable you missed it :) Now try and review SAGA, Ballerium, Time of Defiance, Boundless Planet, Mankind,Call of Kings, dawn of the kings, navyfield, Shattered Galaxy,OGame...never mind the upcoming awesome Beyond Protocol, a huge galaxy scale SciFi MMORTS in Closed BETA and due for release this summer. Come and check out these worthy independent releases, stop letting the big boys get all the attention.
