Dark Legion Unleashed

Gathering of Developers has sent us more details on the evil heroes in Kingdom Under Fire. The game blends role-playing elements with real-time strategy conventions, and it periodically focuses the action on the quests of seven heroes, three who are humans and four who side with darkness.

These four evil warriors are pictured above and are named, in order of appearance, Rick Blood, Amaruak, Likuku, and Richter. Rick Blood is leader of the Dark Legion and uses his strength and charisma to wreak havoc on humankind. A master lich who advises Rick Blood, Amaruak harnesses the power of an ancient artifact, the Heart of Nible. Likuku is a red ogre who is exceptionally intelligent for his kind and counts the magicians of Hextor among his conquests. A cunning and more neutral character, Richter commands the magical vampires of Belond's royal guard.

Phantagram, a developer based in Korea, is readying Kingdom Under Fire for release next month. Read GameSpot's preview for an in-depth look at the game.
