Product Description
Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom is an Action RPG game based on the universe of Kingdom Under Fire series. The previous Kingdom Under Fire series were Action RTS titles that recreated realistic fantasy battlefields of massive scale. Circle of Doom focuses on the development of one individual character, and utilizes an easy-to-learn game system and control mechanics. Circle of Doom is filled with never-before-imagined innovation and fresh ideas. Explore randomly generated vast dungeons and face off monsters swarming the screen in thousands and attacking from all directions along the floors, walls, and ceilings of the dungeons. Actively engage in dynamic battle and create effective combos with various weapons to defeat the monsters. During the heated battle, everything in the environment can be destroyed and affect the movement of enemies. Sometimes carving out a hole in the wall may lead to a new path or unearth valuable items. The heroes will find increasingly devastating and spectacular ways to purge the evil in the forms of new abilities and weapons, or even create their own arsenal by combining the existing ones. Circle of Doom also delivers a complex and twisted story plot in a very different and new way. During a multiplayer game, one player's choice to stick with the plot will not slow the others from journeying onward.

 What the heck were they thinking? September 25, 2008
Noah E. Schumaker (Fairmont, WV USA)
I bought this game thinking it would be like the previous "Kingdom Under Fire" games. Alas, that was an idiotic assumption. This game is utterly different from the previous incarnation which was like "Dynasty Warriors". This one is a basic button mashing dungeon crawler. Honestly, the only thing given great thought was the graphics and the item creation system. Those two things are insanely fine tuned and awesome. Albight, they kind of crippled the item creation system with their patch. The idea was that they'd slow down the process of super items being created and force people to spend more time on the game. What happened instead was that now only a handful of those people that WERE playing the game are left. If you wanna play this one, rent it and enjoy it while you can.
 Good Graphics and Good Story...a little boring. May 18, 2008
B. Castillo (East Coast)
I bought this for my husband because I read the reviews of the game.
We love the graphics, the ability to search for items (armor, coins, health potions, etc). We like killing the bad guys, it gets more difficult as you play the game. A previous review compared it to Diablo and we agree, you have life and 'mana' and an inventory.
What we don't like about the game is that it's a little boring. You travel along a path to attain quests but it feels like the same game over and over again. Also sometimes when you find an item, the graphics don't allow you to pick up the item (game glitch). The third disappointment is that you can't play 2 regular players at the same time as you can in Diablo, you can only play multiple players if playing XBOX live.
Overall a good quest game with fighting bad guys and picking up cool items. Small game glitches but not serious enough to start the game over or quit playing. Not as flashy as the new games out there but a great overall game to play. Fast shipping time.
Great game May 8, 2008

This game is actually really fun once you start playing it online and pumping your hero up. Most people that put a bad review about this game has no sence of mind. Yes, this is a button mashing game and repetitive but hey what isn't now days. This game reminds me of a bad version of diablo 2. Which is good since diablo 2 is probably the most amazing RPG around. So what if your not able to wonder from the map. In most cases I like that, that why I can never get lost. There is most difficulties as well you have to beet the normal before you can advance to hard. The gameplay is easy enough but does get a lot harder once you get further into the game. This game overall is addicting and fun if you don't sit and analyze all the negatives about it. I recommend this game for online only that way you can talk to people as your "button mashing." I am sure all you people that rated this bad also hate great games like ninety nine nights and lost odyssey.

I can't believe that this is the second game in a series. It seems that a group of incredibly lazy developers fished this out of their toilets to cash in on a popular first title. I played this on a friend's recommendation. He has played the first game, and was certain that the second would be great. I was angered by the waste of both time and money. My friend would not believe what I had to say, until I gave him the game to play himself. He is still apologizing. Now, I will never play the first game, or any other title in this rancid series.
 Well... April 16, 2008

It seems to me that the realm of button mashing games is coming to a halt, (not an end) and this game is exactly that. I pre-ordered this game because people had been telling how how much fun the other games in the series are, so I bought it and have got to say, there really isn't anything special about it. The weapons system is far more complicated than it needs to be, the story line for each character is no more than a whim of thought and there isn't really any reason to play this game a second time unless of course you wish to see what the other characters do, which isn't very impressive to say the least. The one thing that the game has to offer...the graphics. The graphics and sound effects are pretty darn good but nothing so impressive that will make you want to play it again to see them again.
