Kingdom Under Fire: Heroes | Xbox

About the Game

This is the prequel to the action/RTS Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders for the Xbox. Six of the sub-characters from The Crusaders are now playable main characters in Heroes, along with one new character Walter. Each has its own story campaign. The gameplay is similar to the predecessor, featuring action, RTS, and RPG elements.

Gameplay & Core Systems

You control several troops, ranging from basic types such as infantry, archers, spearmen, and cavalry archers; to more advanced ones like siege units, mortars, aerial bombers, wyverns, giant scorpions, and mammoths. The troops engage in RTS style combat, although commands are issued to entire troops instead of individual soldiers. When the troop led by the main character enters battle, players fights in 3rd person action mode. Each of the seven playable characters has its unique set of attack moves and combos. After each battle players enters the World Map and upgrades all of his troops with new skills, weapons, and armor.

Standout Features

• In Heroes, there are also four new elemental troops: ice maidens, earth golems, thunder rhinos, and flame wraiths.
• World Map: players moves to different locations in the World Map to engage in new battles.
• Heroes: The multiplayer aspect has been significantly improved in Heroes to allow 3 on 3 strategy mode (The Crusaders supported 2 on 2), leader combat between only the playable characters, or co-operative mode against invasion from CPU-controlled troops.
