Histoire (IGDB)
The story begins when Nibel The Lord of Light made a pact with Encablossa Lord of Darkness, the pact being that each lord will rule his age and the other will wait until the other finishes his rule. But eons pass and Nibel grows weary of seeing his creatures becoming monsters and being tortured so when the Age of Light was about to end Nibel didn't give his rule to Encablossa. Encablossa was angry so he gathered his Dark Legion and attacked the world, many ages pass but in Crusaders, Walter's soldiers destroyed the ancient heart (a powerful relic and the center of the conflict in 'Kingdom Under Fire') and Encablossa appeared in the form of a great demon, but he is defeated By Kendal and Regnier's forces but the heroes then become trapped in Encablossa's Dimension as old heroes. In Regnier's campaign it is explained that the dark dimension is about to explode with the resulting blast poised to consume both dimensions.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« There's a zoom/lock-on for ranged attacks; combos are strictly a one-button affair and you've never had this much fun tinkering with weapons, spells, and items--I guarantee it. [Jan 2008, p.52] »
« Though the combat grows repetitive, the game manages to look lovely while you slap around your foes. If you’re a fan of large-scale battle games à la Dynasty Warriors but prefer to play solely as one character, Circle of Doom makes for a great after-holiday snack. »
« Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom is a simple, straight-forward fantasy themed action-RPG. That can be a both good and a bad thing, depending what you're looking for. It's nonetheless very pretty. [Mar 2008] »
« If you're a fan of the tried-and-true action-RPG formula, then this one won't disappoint. However, if you've never understood the satisfaction of slogging through demon-filled dungeons or, more importantly, never stayed up until the sun creeps through the cracks of your drawn blinds in hopes of seeing "Level Up" pop-up on the screen just one more time, then this may not be your cup of mead. »
« Unfortunately the single player campaign is pretty boring/repetitive once and other than leveling up your character there is no major reason to play the game again. »
« Simple controls, linear gameplay, a basic (yet confusing storyline) equates to an experience that may please the casual hack and slash gamer. »
« Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom is still a great game in the classic series, but die-hard fans might find the lack of strategy in favor of all-out slashing too much of a change to enjoy. »
« The story is vapid and devoid of any substance and what little there is is not explained well or fleshed out. »

« No fue tan mal juego como dicen. Sinceramente para mi es un juego de 7 no de 5 pero para mejorar su score le pongo 10. Ahora explico porque: . Jugablemente tiene mucho contenido para pasar horas, la segunda vuelta se vuelve desafiante y se siente diferente . Los graficos para 2007 cumplen y el trabajo artistico es destacable . La banda sonora suele ser generica pero no es mala. Los efectos de sonido son buenos . Es cierto, los escenarios suelen ser repetitivos y poco inspirados pero la variedad de enemigos lo compensa En pocas palabtas un juego decente que no merece una puntuacion tan baja tanto de critica y de usuarios. Para mi tiene un 7 Le pongo 10 tambien por ser el primer juego que jugue en Xbox 360 en el ya lejano 2008 »
« Worst buy in my life. Not only because its a terrible game, in Every aspect, but mainly because its the worst followup in history. We, the poor ****, that bought it thought we where getting a new "Heroes" or "Crusaders". Oh where we wrong... »
« Un hack & slash ? un beat'em all ? c'est juste un "truc" non-identifié chiant comme un Dynasty Merdiors avec des allures de Diablol. C'est techniquement complètement à la masse avec au minimum une génération de ****, le tout s'accompagnant de ralentissements particulièrement inconvenants au milieu de tout ce foutoir. La caméra est aussi à l'ouest, déclarant forfait d'elle-même et l'ensemble est une succession de couloirs : un jeu infoutu de se hisser au niveau d'une simple daube BTA, une prouesse ! »
« I can't believe that Microsoft has allowed this piece of crap to be available on Xbox. Just awful. Environment has that horrible copy/paste look, every area is same as the other. Game-play? **** mechanic, crappy graphic, poor and non-existent story. Avoid this one in a big circle... »
« This game is genuinely one of the worst games I have ever played. I loved the previous two Xbox games and bought this with much hope and anticipation. I was beyond devastated when I played it for the first time. It is absolute rubbish. »
« This game makes me feel nostalgic, makes me remember the old games like Final Fight and the RPG elements make it a very good game, its better than many RPG i play »
« hands down geatest hack and slash of its time its old now butstill is fun the gameplay mechanics are awesome the graphics a little lacking but it was made in 2006 what can you askfor bought for 5 dollars at gamestop but its atleast a ten dollar game for its age »
