Official Fact Sheet:

Players choose one of seven heroes in Kingdom Under Fire, then begin an adventure in a land torn by “The War of the Xok Knights” or “The War of the Heroes”. You can choose the Light side, and play Curian the orphan warrior, Keithr the famous knight or the legendary magician Moonlight. Or you can play as a hero of the Dark side. Rick Blood leads this group by virtue of his skill at arms. Likuku the ogre, Amaruak the lich, and Richter Rosenheim, an ancient vampire, chafe under Blood’s rule and plot against him, each other and the Light side.

The story will be familiar to fantasy fans: the continent of Bersiah is gripped by epic struggles between the peoples of Light and the vile creatures of Darkness. There are 20 missions for each race, plus seven story missions for each hero. As the missions unfold, players learn truths about the last war and relationships between heroes. The game combines the best elements found in role-playing games like Diablo and Baldur’s Gate, and real-time strategy games like WarCraft and Warlords. Each mission contains role-playing game-type action and dialogue events. After victorious battles, your character’s experience will allow you to increase abilities and powers.

Visually, there are six sets of background schemes, those of dungeons have modulation effects, and there are 120,000 frames of character animation. The game contains 70 unites, three types of resources and hundreds of items. Up to eight players will be able to play simultaneously in ladder- and league-mode multi-player games over the Internet.
