Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom Review

Review:
In the beginning, Light and Darkness separated and the world was born. Nible, Lord of Light, and Encablossa, Lord of Darkness, made a pact. One would rule the world for an age and after that, the other would rule. Naturally it didn’t quite work out that way so the series Kingdom Under Fire was born.
“Are you sure that vampires can not mutate? I really want to test that theory because I know there must be a way for me to mutate and become all powerful.” That was but one of the stories driven by one of the characters in Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom. It was Leinhart, the half-vampire prince of Vellond. He’s on a mission to restore his kingdom after the Encablossa War and I’m here to tell you I had a lot of fun inflicting his wrath to get it done.

I started actually having some trouble with it recently.. ran out of healing potions at the end of the ruined city, was really close to dying.
Then I discovered this beautiful +61 sword that the Idol of Death was keeping safe for me. I was hesitant to upgrade from my +15 mace with 3-level Growth.. but I quickly forgot about it as I went from taking two minutes to kill larger enemies, to two swings.
Always check the Idols, people!
I really like the item Attribute system, even if it is a little unintuitive. Apparently you can’t actually “add” special attributes (at least not with Kendal), but merge them with existing items.
However, there’s something immensely fun about buying crummy weapons for a few hundred coins just to spend a few hundred more to add to the status effects, which often multiply their effects.
