While the Hack n Slash / RTS hybrid battles are great, the exploration is dull and laborious. Something needs to change to bring in the masses but after 11 years of development, it may be too late.

Kingdom Under Fire 2 has gotten off to a solid start, and I honestly had a ton of fun playing. Unfortunately, for me, the gender locked classes are a pretty big deal, and having issues with finding groups to do things can be frustrating.
This game is so controversial with technical issues and boring quests, but great epic RTS battles. But it is definitely unique.
There is no MMORPG quite like Kingdom Under Fire 2, and that is a great compliment.
Kingdom Under Fire II is far better than it first seem but still not enough to stand next to giants like Final Fantasy or TESO despite its own strengths.
