Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom

Reviewed by:

Fucking hell, Microsoft—why must you continue to keep making these godforsaken Kingdom Under Fire games? If we wanted to be bored, we'd try reading! Or talking to our girlfriends! If you're a die-hard dungeon crawler, you can look forward to about 50 hours or so of crawling through boring dungeons. There are six different characters in the game, and you'll have to play as all of them—even the big giantlike doofus that carries a stick—if you want to see the end credits. The emphasis in this installment is on action. Which means you'll be pressing the same Attack button about 3,789,000 times until your thumb packs a tiny bag and moves to a nearby hotel and refuses to return your phone calls.
