The Kingdom Under Fire saga continues on Xbox, in this action-strategy prequel to 2004's Crusaders. Players can take command of their troops from afar, or ride to battle alongside them. Deployed archers or infantry can hold the line on one front, as the player's hero pushes forward on another. Kingdom Under Fire: Heroes offers seven new hero characters and more than 50 campaign missions, as well as customizable challenges and multiplayer competition over Xbox Live. New online features allow players to communicate more efficiently with voice chat, and multiplayer game modes include "Troop Battles," Hero Battles, and Observer. Cooperative play is also supported, on certain single-player maps.
