Krush Kill ‘N Destroy 2: Krossfire

Giving 3 stars to game of my childhood makes me kind of sad. To start the review, KKND 2 was my first game in the series. I'm a bit fan of strategies and this one has interesting races, funny dialogues and challengeing campaign with witty missions. The concept of the game is rather simple. You mine single resource, oil and create your units to "Krush Kill and Destroy". Game feautures 3 races, Humans or survivors. Your basic race with diverse units, such as granadiers, flame throwers or armagedon tanks creating cool effects, Mutants, with various malformed units and giant beatles instead of tanks and Series 9. These are robots with units resembling futuristic agricultural machines going wrong. When I was young I understood almost no english, so Series 9 unit names such as seeder or pod launcher rang no bell for me. Gameplay itself consists of building up your base, upgrading your buildings and then fighting. You can do this in Single Player Campaign, Against AI or Multiplayer. Campaign contains funny intro and then some quest, such as saving someone and then destroying enemy or just destroying enemy in many ways. As kid I found campaign to be extremely hard but with better understanding of language, most missions are not that hard to overcome. enemy AI is decent but after some time you find out, that it tends to pick only specific units and doesn't use "build your own tank feauture". Soundtrack is very trippy and memorable. While the game itself is not that hard, what I found hard were numerous bugs which I didn't realize were so bad until playing the gog version. These bugs are why I give the game 3 stars today. My last mission nearly failed because I encountered "cant create any more units bug". Just as I managed to overcome this, I got random "mission failed" bug. For some players game isn't running at all. Multiplayer crashes, when you select map. etc.. Great game of my childhood but so buggy. I hope someone will fix the bug some day but I'm doubtful.

It's been a long time since I picked up on this classic game. However, there is a bug that won't allow me to build more buildings or turrents for some odd reason. Can you plz look into this??? This is on the human side 2nd stage above...

Let me start off by saying, I'm glad I got this game on sale. Like Red Faction II, it's worse than it's predecessor in terms of gameplay.. there are some much needed features added but the fluidity and clarity is lost. 1st issue is the screen resolution, there are no options to modify this in game, so I will have to try out a link in one of these comments. 2nd problem is for whatever reason - the game won't let you create units or buildings despite having the resources to. Anyone else experience this?

how do i host or join others in this game the cracked virson was good on multy player but not the full campaign i payed for the full game since i wanted both ! i payed for 2 copys you cant even lan this game it crashed when ever i try it

This is an old-school "strategy" game and one of those niche products that sometimes came as a free addition glued to the cover of a gaming magazine. (The nostalgia is definitely strong with this one.) The arguably best piece is the humor delivered during the intermissions, which do have a great entertainment factor. While the unit graphics and voices were already dated by the time the game was released, the soundtrack, on the other hand, is a masterpiece you are certain to enjoy. It alone might be worth shelling out 2 bucks if you can get the game on a sale. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for the actual gameplay. Your enemy in KKND2 will simply continue to produce the same units and send them down the same scripted paths until it runs out of resources. Meaning, to call anything that happens a "strategy" is a bit of a stretch. The way to beat a mission is thus usually rather obvious and the only thing that might stop you from doing just that is the insane number of units the enemy has right from the start, thus forcing you to advance slowly. While it may be true that other titles of the time had similar short comings, KKND2 is one of those games that often enough feels like it isn't even trying. Last but not least, since this is an "old-school" game, there are ye good olde cheat codes available, adding to the already great nostalgia factor (and reducing potential frustration).
