Gameplay

Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders Kingdom Under Fire The Crusaders Wikipedia

The gameplay of Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders contains elements from the popular game Dynasty Warriors and aspects of various role-playing games. As well as controlling the main character, the player fights with multiple armies or "units", which are controlled in real-time with either a minimap or the main screen. When the main character's unit engages in mêlée with an enemy unit, the gameplay is similar to Dynasty Warriors.

Any unit in close-quarter combat cannot be used for anything else until the combat is resolved; an exception to this is when two units are in close-quarter combat with the enemy: one unit can retreat one unit whilst the other keeps the enemy unit occupied.

Units

The unit-types of the game include:

  • Infantry: Engage units in melee.
  • Paladins: Healing and support infantry with the spell "Bless and Heal". Additionally deals holy damage in melee against undead foes. (Human Alliance only)
  • Archers: Fire at ground and air targets. Dark Legion archers may fire from horses and ballistas can target air units as well. Humans have their own upgraded longbowmen
  • Artillery: (catapults, mortars, ballistas) Engages units indirectly from a long range.
  • Airborne units: Engages units from the air, where only archers, specially designed ballistas, and magic can attack them.
  • Cavalry: May engage in melee combat, but are most effective when ordered to charge through troop formations that are already engaged.
  • Sappers: Lays traps that can seriously damages enemy troops and can also set fire to forests. Can be used as a substitute for infantry. Pyrotechs for the Human Alliance may lay mines which cause more damage.
  • Mortars: Functions just like archers with but unable to target air units. However, it can take down castle walls. (Human Alliance only)
  • Spearmen: Specialized troops which can take down enemy cavalry and immobilize troops in front of them. The Dark Legion version of spearmen are Orc Axemen
  • Support Units: Units such as Storm Riders, Bomber Wings, Wyverns, Swamp Mammoths, and Dirigibles that can cause massive damage to the enemy.
  • Scorpions: Huge living siege weapons that can take down castle walls and can be used as infantry. They are also invulnerable to arrows. (Dark Legion exclusive)
  • Orc Ghouls: Dead Orcs risen from the grave that have very high defense but are vulnerable to holy damage. Can send an Orc to self-destruct as a siege weapon. (Dark Legion exclusive)
  • Combat magic
