Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom is the fourth video game in the Kingdom Under Fire series.

It also features new characters, items, units and missions.
Taking advantage of the Xbox 360 processing power, randomly generated dungeons and landscapes, along with thousands of fierce on-screen enemies attacking from all directions, will test the abilities of even the most skilled gamers and make for a new adventure around every corner. With a newly enhanced, intuitive control system, gamers will experience fast, blood-thirsty action.
Prologue
The war has ended at the sacrifice of many heroes. But the transition of epoch supersedes the wills of all mortals and it is impossible for anyone to prevent it completely.
To put an end to the Epoch of Light… Or to protect it… Heroes threw themselves into the Dark Dimension and are now preparing for an imminent battle. Those who have been sucked into the Dark Dimension 50 years ago are also trying to aid the new heroes with all their will and might, but how the outcome will influence the Epoch of Light ultimately depends on the hands of you, the player.
What is the value of a man’s volition? Is it moral to delay the eradication of mankind by destroying the universe?
