Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders is a real-time tactics hack and slash video game developed by the Korean studio Phantagram and Microsoft's Japanese studio for the Xbox. It was published in North America and Europe by Microsoft Game Studios and other regions by Deep Silver. It is the sequel to the 2001 game Kingdom Under Fire: A War of Heroes, and continues its storyline. Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders combines third-person action and role-playing elements in its gameplay, which differs from its predecessor. A Windows port was released for Steam in February 2020, developed by Blueside. A DRM-free version was released on GOG.com in early April 2020. The modern Windows release came with several enhancements including full controller support, plus an all-new mouse & keyboard mode ; modern resolutions and widescreen view.
