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.

    A great technical achievement in terms of RTS design evolution.

    A true strategy gamer’s strategy game.

    A bit more thoughtful than many RTS games, Kohan 2 is perfect for those wanting a deeper real time strategy. With yet another rush of RTS games being released, don’t overlook this gem.

    Kohan II's single-player campaign is passable, but doesn't do as much to break the RTS mould as the rest of the game. Most players will head straight for skirmish matches against the AI, and just like the original, they'll find it excellent, challenging, and convincing, as enemy or teammate.

    While other games coming out might be flashier and bigger and badder and all that crap, what it really comes down to is good strategy and in that aspect Kohan II really nails it.
  6. Gamer's Hell

    All of the aspects of a great game were there: Good graphics, good sound, great AI, and compelling story. However, the fact is that the gameplay really wasn’t fun at all.

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

The game is polished and runs very well on an average machine. The only minor problem is that sometimes matches take 1,5 or 2 hours to finish. My personal mark is 82/100.

In this version the creators backed away from the strategic elements by adding addditional unneccesary graphic detail to units and towns which reduced overall map visiblity (can't see as many units). Added city detail and reduced city plancement locations further reduced the strategic elements that made KIS and KAG unique and successful games. The lack of improvments to the multiplayer matching system were also a disappointment. Still the company and resource model are still very strong.. my advice. Buy Kohan Arihimans Gift instead… Expand

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