Product Description
Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom is an Action RPG game based on the universe of Kingdom Under Fire series. The previous Kingdom Under Fire series were Action RTS titles that recreated realistic fantasy battlefields of massive scale. Circle of Doom focuses on the development of one individual character, and utilizes an easy-to-learn game system and control mechanics. Circle of Doom is filled with never-before-imagined innovation and fresh ideas. Explore randomly generated vast dungeons and face off monsters swarming the screen in thousands and attacking from all directions along the floors, walls, and ceilings of the dungeons. Actively engage in dynamic battle and create effective combos with various weapons to defeat the monsters. During the heated battle, everything in the environment can be destroyed and affect the movement of enemies. Sometimes carving out a hole in the wall may lead to a new path or unearth valuable items. The heroes will find increasingly devastating and spectacular ways to purge the evil in the forms of new abilities and weapons, or even create their own arsenal by combining the existing ones. Circle of Doom also delivers a complex and twisted story plot in a very different and new way. During a multiplayer game, one player's choice to stick with the plot will not slow the others from journeying onward.

 Great game May 8, 2008

This game is actually really fun once you start playing it online and pumping your hero up. Most people that put a bad review about this game has no sence of mind. Yes, this is a button mashing game and repetitive but hey what isn't now days. This game reminds me of a bad version of diablo 2. Which is good since diablo 2 is probably the most amazing RPG around. So what if your not able to wonder from the map. In most cases I like that, that why I can never get lost. There is most difficulties as well you have to beet the normal before you can advance to hard. The gameplay is easy enough but does get a lot harder once you get further into the game. This game overall is addicting and fun if you don't sit and analyze all the negatives about it. I recommend this game for online only that way you can talk to people as your "button mashing." I am sure all you people that rated this bad also hate great games like ninety nine nights and lost odyssey.

I can't believe that this is the second game in a series. It seems that a group of incredibly lazy developers fished this out of their toilets to cash in on a popular first title. I played this on a friend's recommendation. He has played the first game, and was certain that the second would be great. I was angered by the waste of both time and money. My friend would not believe what I had to say, until I gave him the game to play himself. He is still apologizing. Now, I will never play the first game, or any other title in this rancid series.

It seems to me that the realm of button mashing games is coming to a halt, (not an end) and this game is exactly that. I pre-ordered this game because people had been telling how how much fun the other games in the series are, so I bought it and have got to say, there really isn't anything special about it. The weapons system is far more complicated than it needs to be, the story line for each character is no more than a whim of thought and there isn't really any reason to play this game a second time unless of course you wish to see what the other characters do, which isn't very impressive to say the least. The one thing that the game has to offer...the graphics. The graphics and sound effects are pretty darn good but nothing so impressive that will make you want to play it again to see them again.
The Most Boring Game Ever March 20, 2008

i bought this game from ebgames. i played it for 20 minutes and took it back to the store. i was playing the tutorial and i had to take it back. this game really gets boring. this game is not even worth renting. you will get bored with this game. if youre the type of player that likes arcade style. then "rent" this game. its not worth $60. and when you do rent it. you will take the game back. this game is a shocker. i want to meet the people that rated this game 5 stars because these people must get amused easily. i cant even rate this game. it just sucked. even the "hacking and slashing" was bad. it was just a major killer on the 360. i cannot rate this game because of boredom
Well...I'll never get that hour of my life back. February 27, 2008

I've made fun of trendy hipster MAC using tree-huggers in previous reviews...but on this game I must agree with them.
For shame the amount of pollution that was released into the atmosphere because of this game. How horrible that it will all be in the landfill someday where it belongs.
I rented this Jewel of the Vile for free (thank God) from my little brother's game collection. He handed it to me and said, "Here...this one isn't...uh...it isn't really my thing."
"Thing?" He's only 16 so hasn't really mastered the use of the English language, so I can't blame him for being unable to eloquently describe the putrid nature of this game. Therefore, I will help him voice his opinion.
I was only able to sit and play this for about an hour. I kept waiting for the game to improve...but it never did. What accent is that on the vampire character? I suppose when it came to the voice acting that they couldn't afford a guy that sounded Transylvanian...they had to go for an American guy who -Vas taulkinguh like he vas an eeeevil scienteest goinguh to blow up zee vorld!-. The best part was when he called the idol of greed "fatty".
Also...what is wrong with this world's populations' pelvises? Leonardo stood like he was in a permanant state of humping or was beginning to bloat. Do the undead bloat in this world? I kept waiting for him to spike one giant chunk of his hair and say, "It's time for a little demon cleansing, I MUST SAY!" (Old Saturday Night Live reference for those of you too young to remember Martin Short's character Ed Grimley.)
I have never played the other Kingdom of Fire games...but (if I've heard correctly) they were more strategy-based. The makers should really have stuck to strategy...because whatever style this is simply sucks.
You run around...trying to find monsters to train your skills...which never happened for me. I got one spell but after that single spell (Heal) it seemed impossible. The vampire character (Lenny...or Lactate...something) is trying to mutate to become as strong as Rufus(...or was it Randy...?). It was fun in an oldschool Gauntlet at the arcade kind of way. After pegging the upteen-thousandth little scorpion with my Kunai of Frost and Wounding and Shrieking and Making Toast, however, I simply lost interest.
Basically...if you can get the game for free then have at it! It will at least fill up a little bit more space on your shelf so that when people come over they look at your games and say, "Wow! You've got a lot of games!" Other than that...get something else.
