How is KUF: Circle of Doom?

Something Witty

I was looking around at my local PX, and they have a new game for the first time in weeks that isn't a sports game of movie tie-in. They only have about three copies of it though, and it costs 60$ which is more than I'm prepared to spend unless it's really good.

So is KUF: Circle of Doom worth my time and money? I trust reccomendations I get on this forum more than you're average review, that's why I'm asking here. I know absolutely nothing about the game though, what's it about and what does it play like?

Don't buy it. No it's not worth it at all.

I'll have to find my review that I put up on Gamefly about the game...

Oh, here it is:

Please. For the sake of all humanity, do NOT buy this game. Do not wait till it gets cheaper, do not trade any games in, and please, PLEASE don't receive it as a gift.

A friend and I went through the game (again, against my will..... he wanted to beat the game since I beat it without him) and it, as always, started out just right. But after the first stage... Things start to get bad. It's like if you keep a dead body in your closet. The first few days it doesn't smell... But everyday from then after it gets worse.

That's what this game feels like. The smell of a dead corpse rotting in your closet.

I wish I was kidding. I really do. I really wish I didn't waste $60 on this game. I could have used that $60 to wipe my butt and slap it on my bosses face. I would have gotten much more enjoyment out of getting fired.

God I want my 6 hours back. (Yes, we spent 6 hours playing through the game today.... And we quit on the last stage out of frustration. I thought the vain in my head was going to explode all over my couch. Did they even test this game? Or were they too busy playing WoW?!)

tl;dr Do not play/buy this game. It is terrible, and I hope that this train wreck of a game can get erased out of my memory.

Well I guess that's really all I need to know. I was wanting to play a new fantasy game too. ):

A game like it (sorta) that's better is Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. Too Human seems to look like a game worth your time (if it ever fucking comes out).

Look, the game is okay if you play it with a bunch of friends. If you like grinding, that type of thing, the game is decent. Its not "zomg bad." This isn't Kabuki Warriors. The story sucks, the spells (with the exception of Flesh Spear) are useless and the presentation is poor but with about 7 or 8 characters to chose from, plenty of weapons and a pretty good looking environment, its worth a try. But like I said, the pre-requisite is that you MUST play this with friends. If you don't, the game ceases to be any fun.

Why would you want your friends to waste $60 along with you? The game is okay with another, but the whole time RedMageDarion/Veraga/Vejito/I were playing we were cursing how bad the game was, but we had to beat the game. I didn't want THAT game to sit in my backlog.
