'Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom follows a straight-forward formula, but somehow, it can’t even get that right. Most of the time, it just makes the gameplay too easy, too basic, or too difficult by design.'

'The game is repetitive and the combat unrewarding. You simply move through each trouble-filled section, slashing away at enemies with little reason – or energy. The game's presentation is mostly acceptable, but fails to captivate.'
