Unfortunately, our time with the demo ended just before we got to experience the RTS section… So we snuck back, booted up someone else’s save file and finally got to experience the main draw of the game. In fact, just after we acquire our mount through chatting to three people in a triangle, bouncing between them like a socially incompetent pinball, we’re able to finally get our hands on the true appeal of the title: an awesome mixture of large-scale action goodness and effective RTS control. It’s only twenty minutes in where we get to see that combination take form, but Blueside’s initially dull MMO structure feels like an eternity. We’ve seen elements of later sections, ones that better incorporate MMO structure into the instance-based MMO/RTS cauldron to create a wonderful elixir of unique gameplay opportunities. It’s as generic as MMO content gets and, as part of a preview event, seemed like a weird section to show.
Occasionally, we’re told to kill a couple of deer or heal some wounded soldiers. We’re told to talk to people who tell us to talk to more people.
It’s here where Kingdom Under Fire 2 starts to incorporate its MMO portion. The castle is lost, the King is dead, our skimpily dressed Spellsword is still without any effective clothing. Despite our power-level being on-par with the Legendary Super Sayain, our efforts are all in vain. Feedback is good enough and the drowning destruction of hit-after-hit of constant battering on an entire army makes you feel incredibly powerful, even in the early levels. While enemies are somehow less engaging than your average Dynasty Warriors goon, fighting them always feels satisfying. Kingdom Under Fire 2’s combat feels fantastic. By combining our heavy attacks with right-mouse and our skills on the number bar, we’re able to deliver devastating but beautiful dances of destruction. Their attacks do little on our health, but our attacks strike them down in one or two hits of the left-mouse button.
We move our way through hordes of blood-thirsty enemies. Despite being a major instance-based battle, our introduction to the world of war-torn Bersia is purely action focused. And so our journey began: Miss MSPoweruser was immediately thrust into battle alongside an impressive army of mindless NPC soldiers. She loved her name, or at least she never complained. We started out with a Spellsword: in our infinite bouts of creativity her name became MSPoweruser. We’re told that a sixth class, The Dark Sorceress, will arrive post-launch. Unfortunately, we’re not sure it’s what everyone wants to play.Īs soon as we start we’re introduced to the five classes: the melee-and-firearm Gunslinger the magical-melee Spellsword the rage-filled Berserker the pure-mage Elementalist and the dagger-and-bow Ranger. We’re glad the team has found their perfect balance: the developers appear confident that KUF2 is the game they’ve always wanted to make. Throughout our time with the title, we’re told that it’s been a tough time to find the perfect balance between MMO, Hack-and-Slash and RTS. With developer Blueside and publisher Gameforge finally ready to show off their decade-plus of hard work, we finally got to see the title in action.
