  • Summary: Ages have passed since the Cataclysm and the complacency of time has set in. A shadow has once again fallen across the land. Rumors abound of strang creatures prowling the night. War comes ever more frequently and a deep-rooted unease holds the hearts of men in its grip. Brother has turned against brother and the great Houses of Kohan have erupted into civil war. The Shadow is rising and a new evil is spreading its wings. Will you stand against the shadow in this time of darkness? Kings of War, the latest game to the award winning fantasy real-time strategy series Kohan, returns players to the magical world of Khaldun. Players will find themselves caught up in a civil war, even as greater threats loom on the horizon. Fighting through armies of hundreds, laying siege to dozens of cities across diverse environments, players must learn to become Kings of War. [TimeGate Studios]… Expand

    A great technical achievement in terms of RTS design evolution.

    "Solid" is one of those terrible damning-with-faint-praise words which will have anyone cringing but it's the one that applies. It's a well-built, well-made, well-designed well-solid RTS, and of its type, one of the finest of the year.

    Fares poorly compared to other genre offerings, and I'd be hard-pressed to recommend it.

    This game is must for every strategy gamer. 1. Beautiful graphics, very detailed. A lot of love and care has gone into it. However, the slow/chunky scrolling can be quite a pain in the .... 2. The four races are quite different and each has its unique flair. 3. More strategy in this one than in any other RTS I played (except Kohan I) - this includes Blitzkrieg, WC3, Starcraft, Ground Control. 4. GREAT SOUND - both effects and music. 5. Cool, convincing gameworld (A LOT BETTER than WC3) 6. This is not a title driven by a popular franchise but rather a title driven by its depth of gameplay and multiplayer fun/challenge. 7. Help timegate and give them some money by buing it - its a small developer doing great things for the PC-community. Oliver … Expand

    If you like less control and more automation, this is the game for you. Kohan II is all about strategy and pretty much nothing else. You have little to no base control and your troop composition is pre-designed. For the most part, the game plays itself for you. Don't expect your typical RTS. In their effort to limit micromanagement, they have totally stripped away the variety and style associated with successful RTS games. Their developer said, "If you don't like it, don't buy it." Unfortunately, I didn't take his advice. Don't make my mistake.… Expand

    Beware, the game secretly installs malware - SecuROM. It is likely to cause problems with your computer and is almost impossible to remove.
