Like Gauntlet and Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance before it, Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom pits a single player against swarms of literally tens of thousands of roaring, hissing fantasy monsters. It sounds exciting on paper, and other dungeon hack games manage to make it fun and addicting. But KUF:CoD is such a joyless and gloomy experience that it's robbed of almost any potential charm. Even Christian gamers with the patience for this sort of thing will likely find themselves turned off by the bloody and sloppy gameplay.
