 Not Good, but not bad November 20, 2008
The interface is extremely clunky. Graphics are great for the X-box, but the story is not that entertaining. The Physics of the game (such as sunlight in your face) is unique. If you can get it on the cheap I would recommend it.
 controls are horrible November 26, 2006

i gave this game about 4 hours to become fun, and ultimately I wish I had those 4 hours back. you'll be excited when you get cavalry, but that excitement will disappear quickly when you realize you have to manually run them back and forth through the enemy while your hero is getting sliced up, and that you have to do this with a very clunky camera system. i think for real-time strategic war games you're better off on a pc. pick up starcraft or any of a thousand other RTS title out there that blow KUF away.

Basically this game is Dynasty Warriors, with some strategy elements. Or better yet Dynasty Warriors for people who like RTS games and fantasy elements. It's very long, so if your like me, cheap and hate buying $50 games that only last maybe 10 hours. the lack of multiplayer, and custom soundtrack really sucks though.
Macho Junk June 24, 2006
Okay, I expected this to be about the crusades, no, its about the "Demon Crusade". Although the poor lines, and hilarious cheesyness can make you laugh so hard, but only for the first few levels, then its not fun, its boring.
I say it's great and statistics show..... I'm always right. June 15, 2006

Yes words are misspelled. Yes they lied about the custom soundtrack. No the crappy rock music doesn't match with bloody medieval fantasy warfare. It's still a fun game, and if a game can overcome all of those flaws and still be fun then the creators have made a great game despite their failure to grasp the English language. It has an excellent storyline with all the characters. The graphics are pretty good. There are hundreds of soldiers on the maps at once with pretty good detail. I thought the voice acting was well above average but not great and no it didn't always match what was on the subtitles.
I haven't played this game in almost a year but have fond memories of it and plan to pick it up again this weekend. I have the prequal "Kingdom Under Fire The Heroes" which closes most of the plot holes and answers many of the questions from this one.
My best guess is that because these games are pretty challenging; most of these negative reviews are from people that couldn't hack it and got frustrated. For those losers who that applies to...go back to Mario brothers and Zelda. The rest of you should get this game if you can still find it. Check the bargain bins, it'll be well worth what you'll pay for it. I also highly recommend the Heroes. I don't think one is really better than the other, they are both great.
