Childhood Nostalgia

If you want to judge this game, you have to look from the pre 2000 time perspective. Gameplay still holds up and is very challenging, especially when you setup LAN parties with friends you are gonna have a tons of fun. Matches are short and fast paced. AI can still beat your butt and story mission are quite "challenging". Whole "RTS" and strategy here is to build up mega army, select all and move to attack enemy big group or base. Thats the whole gameplay here. Unless you are into micromanaging Aircraft and turret defending. From soundtrack, to unit design, its all great. And visual-side it doesn't looks that bad. Unit details and animations are not something you really should care about, you don't have time to zoom in and look. They die quick and a lot of things can happen on the screen. But yes if you played this as a kid on your PSX, you will get biased towards this game no matter what. This game needs a 2019 age sequel.

Nostalgia required

I played KKND 1 and 2 back in the day. If you played 1, but have not seen this sequel, it's VERY different in gameplay and design (animations very different and balance of units/towers is totally overhauled) which gives a totally different experience. If you have played neither but are wondering, are these classic RTS games I need to play? NO Command and Conquer and Warcraft/Starcraft are your must-play games, these are B grade at best. In summary, not horrible, but unless you want to revisit this time of RTS games, I would avoid.

Tricked by nostalgia

For some games i cant help it. I have fond memories of these games and remember them being great looking, with personality and fun to play. A few of these old games aged well and still keep up with these memories, or even surpass/refresh them (e.g. Knights and Merchants) Some games however fail miserably on that. Sometimes nostalgia betrays you. KKND sadly is on that bench for most of its parts. The controls are horrific. No Attack-Move, no nice unit command/selection, not even gathering points for construction yards. It lacks so many of these nice aspects that came with later RTS and setting a new standard that i just cant be bothered to endure this again. Its like when you go back to Warcraft 1 and realize that its way of giving commands is just the worst imaginable. But not only did its controls age badly. The music is attrocious, a mix of a bad Rave Party on Speed and bad Jungle-Drums Music. The Unit voices are generic, as every unit of each faction has the same 3 lines to repeat. No individual voices. The missions are boring aswell. I would love to say otherwise, but KKND kind of shows the lower production quality and skill in technical aspects when you compare it to other games of the genre from that time that didnt age so badly. Or in fact still hold up to todays standards. The first C&C games for example, Knights and Merchants which is in some parts unbeaten even by todays games (no RTS though) or a game like Sacrifice. If you remember playing KKND and want to catch a bit RTS fodder to replay and skirmish around, skip KKND2. Its just not worth it sadly. Its the ambience and technology that just cant keep up with todays standards, at least not mine. And these two points are important for a strategy game. Im looking forward to someone putting it into OpenRA though, because the basic premise of KKND is great, the factions and buildings interesting as are a few of its mechanics.
