Game Description
Anyone who has ever dreamed of being a military hero in the middle
ages, gallantly striking down the enemy and commanding friendly forces,
will be taken in by Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders. Players can live
their dreams of leading hundreds of troops into war, while managing
resources, augmenting their forces, and fighting in this medieval 3D
real-time strategy game.
The Crusaders is set fifty years after its predecessor, Kingdom Under
Fire. It begins with the discovery that Dark Legions have massacred
a group of villagers living near a former battleground, which has since
become sacred land. Politics, rivalry, and vendettas ensue and before
long, the short-lived peace in the world is over.The two races pitted
against each other are Humans and Dark Legions. Players can choose which
race they would like to play and select one of several character types
within each race.
From here, it is all about war. Players start out with one infantry
unit, but can hire or acquire more forces – or develop them into
more specialized and powerful units as the game progresses.Players take
center stage in epic battles, hearing the cries of soldiers and seeing
the chaos of the fight. See cavalry and infantry use their skills on
your command.
Use weaponry like catapults or the bow to destroy the enemy from a
distance. The 3D battle scenes in this game – from fight to death
– are compelling, realistic and thrilling. Up to 150 characters
can be involved in a single battle scene at once. After the battle,
use the world map to designate where your troops go next. While moving
across the continent, players can stop by castles, gain endorsements
from feudal lords, hire mercenaries, replenish or change equipment,
and more.
Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders promises action, strategy and breathtakingly
real visual effects. The time has come to fight. Which side will you
choose?
