Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom
Kingdom Under Fire: Circle Of Doom is the fourth installment of the Kingdom Under Fire series and the first to be released for the seventh console generation. Chronologically, the game's story follows Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders from 2004. Unlike the previous Kingdom Under Fire games in the series, Circle of Doom lacks real-time strategy elements and focuses on hack-and-slash combat.
Story
The story begins with Nibel, the Lord of Light, making a pact with Encablossa, the Lord of Darkness. The pact states that each lord will rule his age and the other will wait until he has finished his reign. But eons pass and Nibel grows weary of seeing his creatures become monsters and tortured. When the Age of Light was about to end, Nibel did not relinquish his rule to Encablossa. Encablossa was furious, 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 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 are then trapped as ancient heroes in Encablossa's dimension. Regnier's campaign explains that the dark dimension is about to explode and the resulting explosion will engulf both dimensions.
