Kingdom under Fire: Circle of Doom demo out in Europe

Well the demo for Kingdom under Fire: Circle of Doom, or short Kuf: CoD, demo is out in Europe. Or as I called it during the work MS under Fire: Red Ring of Death (at that time the RRoD was always a good joke :D ). Some people maybe want to give it a try, but better don't play it in German. The last German version that I tested had some ugly issues like the weapon names if they have some extra enhancement the article is wrong and as far as I know there where no changes made after I finished working on it. I guess the release is so late after project end because they don't wanted to release for Christmas while all the big games are getting released.

It's not the best game, but also not that extremely bad at all. For people who want to give the full version a try, there is also a story for each character. The only problem is that the story is hidden, so you need to go the dream world and talk with the NPC there. Many dialogues are time triggered so you have to leave the dream world Hack`n Slay some enemies for at least 10 minutes and then go back to the dream world to get the next quest or dialogue. The story is only optional and if the developers didn't changed anything the player does not have any idea that there is a optional story. At least the Online Coop mode can be fun. Also funny I started on Kingdom under Fire almost exactly one year after Kingdom Hearts 2 and both start with Kingdom and both have in the English version John DiMaggio (Bender from Futurama) as voice actor, but I guess thats only funny for me. :)


So long and enjoy the demo and thanks to all the other people who worked on the game.
