Last week we had the opportunity to get some hands-on time with Kingdom Under Fire 2, an ambitious MMORTS. From what we saw last week it looks like KUF2 might have been able to combine both into an exciting and compelling gameplay experience.

    Is RTS really the most apt comparison? It sounds more like an action game with light strategy elements.

    Not Dynasty Warriors, but rather its cousin, Samurai Warriors (which also inspired my personal favorite - Fire Emblem Warriors). You have your main character, like any Dynasty Warriors game, and then you have a few backup heroes that you can issue orders to or swap control to if needs be.

    And it works, because the "challenge" of these games isn't so much what you are doing (the intentionally easy, power fantasy combat) but rather where and when you do it (positioning yourself and your allies to attack and defend objectives as quickly and efficiently as possible).

    If you think it's not unique, then can you name another game that is similar to it?

    Are you on a team of other similar players vs npcs or something? Trying to find the mmo aspect outside of it just being online.

    it looks like an old game that they finally released so they can try and get some money back for what they spent on it.

    That all sounded good until i scrolled down to the bottom of the buy game page and seen the Gameforge logo.

    Wonder if they will do a video on how Gameforge is planning their version for EU... we've seen it alot of times how they WILL change the games with titles like Aion and TERA for the EU version compared to the NA version. Pushing many EU players to rather playing with high ping on the NA version instead of the greedy EU version.

    Game died in every region possible so don't expect to last this long. I even expect this going f2p in a few months.

    You can party up with others even in the musou (mass army) missions, but I haven't actually tried so yet or gotten far enough to have access to parties.  Apparently there's like, 10 party member slots though so I can't help but wonder just how CROWDED those army-vs-army missions get.

    There's already an EU server on the server list, though I didn't test it to see if it works.



    Opinion:  The game's normal RPG sections are just the same old boring MMO stuff and I kinda wonder why they even bothered having it in the game.  The musou (army vs army) missions where you direct troops around and fight alongside them and try to capture mission objectives and basically drown yourself in hordes of enemies big and small alongside hordes of allies etc are lots of fun though.  So far the ratio of both seems to be about half and half but I dunno if that'll change later on though.

    Eh....its free, so I guess I'll test it out next week or something.

    I love the concept but the execution looks clunky. It's something I'll keep an eye on though as I'd really like to see this genre take off.
