KUF: Circle of Doom vids hack, slash the tubes
Hack and slash games are typically plagued by the same problems. Specifically, many such games tone down the difficulty in favor of lots of enemies and epic battles. True, destroying lots of enemies with a single swing of your mighty sword can be satisfying, but it wears thin after a while (see: KOEI) One can only slaughter so many thousands of hapless enemies before getting bored, after all. Judging by these videos of Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom, the developers at BlueSide are sticking very close to the typical hack and slash formula. Take the boss battle video above. From what we can see, the boss manages to damage the hero once in the entire video. There is one video that gives us hope, in which enemies actually seem to be posing a challenge. Check it out after the break, and hope that the game can deliver.
