Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders: Difference between revisions

 

----

* [[And Now for Someone Completely Different]]: The game has four playable hero characters. The changes in move set and playstyle can be quite jarring.

* [[Armor Is Useless]]: Human soldiers wear metal armor and die just as quickly as anyone else.

* [[Immortality Inducer]]: {{spoiler|The Ancient Heart, at least for Regnier.}}

* [[Knight in Shining Armor]]: Gerald. He seems to think of himself as more of a soldier than a 'knight' but he fits the trope.

* [[Level Map Display]]: Type 1. Each combat has a map of the available area, used when directing units.

* [[Living Forever Is Awesome]]: {{spoiler|It is according to Regnier. He seems to have actively sought it out previously and regrets it's loss after the Ancient Heart is destroyed.}}

* [[Medieval European Fantasy]]

* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Regnier, for his in-game world reputation alone. Furthermore, {{spoiler|Regnier isn't his real name. Originally Regnier was 'Rick Blood', which probably qualifies as another example}}.

* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]: Leinhart is the Prince of Vellond but he's out in the field kicking ass with Regnier, if you really consider that a constructive use of a noble's time.

* [[Obviously Evil]]: Regnier. He's tall, dark, has horns, wears spiky armor; Essentually the guy looks like Dr. Doom co-playing as Skeletor.

* [[Padded Sumo Gameplay]]: Towards the endgame you may begin to experience this as the enemies become tougher and tougher.

* [[Player Punch]]: YMMV, {{spoiler|Rubert's death during Gerald's campaign.}}

* [[Point of No Return]]: It's pretty clear when it's coming, luckily. This is partly because {{spoiler|it appears to be the end of the current quest, when you are trying to prevent Walter from destroying the Ancient Heart}} so you probably aren't expecting to do alot of backtracking after that point anyway.

* [[Punched Across the Room]]: Regnier's combos can end with him delievering a straight punch that will stagger or throw back anyone on the receiving end.

* [[RPG Elements]]: You are able to select equipment for your leader and two secondary characters as well as the units as a while.

* [[Run, Don't Walk]]: For a squad focused military game there isn't much marching for the foot troops. You can order them to go slower and keep quiet but by default it's nearly a sprint.

* [[Story to Gameplay Ratio]]: The game falls in the high middle range. While the game has an extensive story, it is often told while playing the game itself in the form of character dialog. However this is intercut with world map "cut scenes" of debate between characters and information exchange which can be quite lengthy and numerous.

* [[Stripperiffic]]: Any female from Vellond, apparently. Basically every female character and model in the game apart from one. And Regnier as a male example.

* [[The Horde]]: Basically how the human kingdoms see the orc and ogre tribes, especially after they are united by Regnier into a single organization (the commonwealth of Hexter).

* [[The Usual Adversaries]]: Played straight with humans and elves fighting orcs, ogres, and dark elves. {{spoiler|Averted once Encablossa appears and starts making freakish mutated enemies}}.
