My cousin really wants to play kingdom under fire heroes and I want him to be able to play it on my laptop (specs in flair). Edit: it's for the original xbox.
(Image credit: Blueside)It took ten years for Kingdom Under Fire 2 to come to PC, and it was. We won't have quite that much of a wait for Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders: Developer Blueside announced today that the action-RTS, first released in 2004 for the original Xbox, is coming soon to PC.Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders pits the Human Alliance against the Dark Legion in a real-time battle for control of Bersia. Players can take control of two nations from each side, controlling armies and individual heroes who have the power to turn the tide of battle.
The PC release will have full keyboard and mouse support (or you can stick with a controller for that old-time Xbox feeling) and HD resolutions, but will otherwise be 'an unchanged authentic port to PC that gives players the experience they had upon release.' That experience may be dated—16 years is an awfully long time for a videogame, although RTSes tend to hold up better than many other genres—but it was a very good one in its day: The Xbox edition of Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders holds an 81 aggregate score on.A release date for Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders on PC hasn't been set, but Blueside said it's expected out sometime in the first quarter of 2020, so by the end of March—just a couple of months away. While you wait, you can find out more about the game at.

Kingdom Under Fire: Heroes is an action strategy game, the prequel to Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders, released in 2005 for the Xbox.
Gameplay[edit]
Both games deal with commanding large armies in epic, magical battles. When the commanding unit enters a battle, the player can control the hero. Each group or army consists of 20 to 30 soldiers, but the player is limited to only five armies and a support unit per game. A support unit, or a special unit, is an army whose main attack does not rely on the race that you control (Humans, Orcs, Dark Elves) but instead on technology for the humans and magical creatures for the Orcs and Dark Elves. Support units are directed and used as powers instead of regular army units and besides the Swamp Mammoth, all support units fly.
Besides a new storyline, commanders, and game type, there are also four new units that look like support units, but act as regular ones. The Fire Wraiths, Ice Maidens, Thunder Rhino, and Earth Golem use their respective elements to destroy enemy forces quickly.
In Heroes the player has access to seven new heroes, all of whom were in Crusaders: Ellen (half-elf), Leinhart (half-vampire), Urukubarr (ogre), Rupert (human), Cirith (dark-elf), Morene (half-vampire), and Walter (human).
Each character has their own campaign which determines the time period of gameplay. When playing as Ellen, Leinhart, or Urukubarr, the game takes place five years before Crusaders. As Morene, Cirith, Rupert, or Walter, the game takes place during Crusaders.
Plot[edit]
Reception[edit]
Computer and Video Games gave the game a score of 90/100 calling Heroes an awe inspiring game. The game was generally well received by professional reviewers.[1]Edge reviewed Heroes in issue 155, awarding 7 out of 10. The main criticisms were that some troop types are still unable to flourish during situations when they should, some AI glitches and inconsistencies, and it feels more like a set of tweaks and fixes than a fully honed sequel. However, it was still recognised as a stirring, challenging experience which rewards a player for using levelheaded, adaptive tactics. The chaotic, brutal melee combat and support for online play was also highlighted[2]
