______________________

Kingdom Under Fire as a series has always been founded on strong strategy elements as well as including spellcasting and levelling, just like you would find in a plethora of other RPG’s. The series was recently revitalised with Crusaders on the Xbox in 2004, which was a great game. Circle of Doom is a bold move for the developers at Blue Side, as the game is basically ditching a lot of the strategy elements and replacing them with a pure action role playing experience. Is the game any good however, or is it just another stagnant limpfisted action based hack n slash?

well... KUF: Circle of Doom is admittedly not an outstanding game! And maybe it's really just a button mashing hack-n-slash. But I've still been enjoying it.

I do agree with you that BlueSide could have done so much more with it. The Dream World thing is pretty lame. And they obviously nerfed the crap out of the "magic" attacks.

But I guess I just needed some kind of "RPG" to help me get by until something better arrives.

It's just that I was sooooooo Tired of being forced to wear "black/pink" armor in Mass Effect...
