Gameplay
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
Besides normal combat, spells can be used in the battlefield. Most combat units can learn any kind of spell. Spells allow units to throw fireballs, call down meteors, heal the player's army, or send ghoulish suicide bombs to enemy forces.
