    So far I had no problems running this on Win 10 aside from 1 random crash that I could not replicate, I can only speak for myself as these old RTS games can be unpredictable. If anyone has a problem with units not building, go to game folder and increase unit cap in 'options'. I had this obscure RTS on Playstation one, I specifically remember inviting my friends over because it had a split-screen PvP which was very unusual for the genre (probably the first time I played RTS in multiplayer), but…

    RTS Rebirth Good old RTS days. I'm very glad that recently it has been very favourable for these awesome RTS games which are thanks to steam and of course dedicated devs brought back alive and also brought to us - RTS hungry customers - because admit it today it is damn hard to find a good RTS game. KKND2 is playable on windows 10, the game (except for menu) is in full HD, music is still awesome and it is as amazing as it has ever been. There is nothing that stops you from playing it, so go…

    This game is filled with bugs no pun intended, getting myself a refund not good enough I requested a refund which was denied by steam they said there is supposedly nothing wrong with my game. I would strongly advise you to get the game from GOG instead like I had to, their version works better and doesnt get the dreaded mission failed bug after 30 mins of gameplay If there is nothing wrong with my game then why does my GOG version work without problems? Fix your games and test them to make…

    Don't get me wrong, it is a great nostalgic game. However 0 patches or fixes are done to this and being pushed out into steam. You get random bugs where you can't build more units or structures and get soft lock after 2-5mins in game. You get random mission fails that loop back to an infinite loop of mission fails. I wouldn't recommend anyone to try this even if it was for nostalgia...

    when this game worked on window 98 it was AWESOME it competed with starcraft brood war in my mind body and soul EXCEPT THIS VERSION DOESN'T EVEN PLAY screen tearing, bad resolution, broken cut scenes, jittery scroll movement and units move like they are having a seizure >.> literally unplayable garbage and selling a game like this on steam should be illegal

    Excellent game, old school RTS game. I Excellent old school RTS game. KKND 2 is still absolute classic, Great gameplay, memorable units and that old-school RTS feeling that many modern games simply can't replicate. Almost 30 years later and I'm still playing it. That says everything.

    KKND 2 Krossfire is not simply a Command and Conquer - Clone. And it is really not like KKND XTreme at all. It has is own charme and most important: VERY unique gameplay-features that make it very special. For example the possibilities to build a fortress with the save cliffs, electro-fences and so on. Over about 20 years we played it coop against improved AI by our "unfair"-mods and with maps, partially built by ourselves over a simulated LAN-connection, hamachi at first, then RadminVPN.…

    🧪 FIELD REPORT: KKND 2: Krossfire Agent: MRChanutty | Playtime: 27.7 hrs | Difficulty: Normal–Hard ... Day 1 – Bought this purely for nostalgia. I remember watching my brother play it as a kid. Day 2 – Started with the Survivors faction — the only CD we had back then. I still remembered most missions even after 20+ years. Day 3 – The crashes can happens all the time. Random mission fails. "Cannot create more units." Total chaos — and not the fun kind. Day 4 – Learned to save obsessively.…

    My favorite RTS of all time! I Played it for several hundred hours on the PS1, together and against my big brother. The PC port was always a bit bugged and held down by it's 4:3 aspect ratio. But thanks to mods so far, (Playing on which does not track game time) and now in June finally, thanks to a HUGE update, it will be possible again to experience the game how it was meant to be played! Love to see it!

    Old school RTS from PS1 era , back end of 90's that not a lot of people know about . The Game intro is still one of my all time favourite intros , good old CGI and the idea in it getting you hooked . It's a pretty difficult game to complete , units getting destroyed very easily so you have to do your absolute best to mix and match your forces and fight your opponent with troops that are the strongest vs their troops , otherwise you;ll be wasting your entire armies and resources will run out…

    I guess it needed DirectPlay to work. I have many games on Steam, modern and old and never had this issue before. I requested a refund, as I can not even get the game to start. I loved this game back in the day on the PS1. I was hoping it would work here, even if it did have some issues per other reviews. I recommend it if you can get it to work, without too much trouble and maybe on a decent sale. This was just more hassle than it was worth on my end.

    KKND2: Krossfire is, without exaggeration, one of the most underrated real-time strategy games ever made. The setting, factions, and atmosphere are incredibly unique. Unlike many RTS games that feel generic over time, KKND2 has real personality — brutal post-apocalyptic vibes, fantastic unit design, and a surprisingly deep tech progression. The gameplay is challenging, rewarding, and doesn’t hold your hand. It’s honestly shocking how little attention this game received compared to other…

    Besides StarCraft II and w40k: Dawn of War is K.K.N.D still my FAVOURITE Strategy game of all time. The booklet in KKND (1) was written very funny and K.K.N.D 2 had so much good Intentions with it's integrated ingame editor. If you like retro games and especially strategy games - this one is a MUST HAVE. I still hope there will bea K.K.N.D 3 one day... :)

    I played the demo as a child and I used to love it. The game is difficult as f and it's only playable with kwid mod for higher resolutions ( highly recommended, it fixes the "no more units" and mission failed" bugs. If your game starts to crash after a certain amound of hours, just use steam to regain missing files and play with the mod again) . It has many flaws but I still loved the experience

    Эта игра не нуждается в представлении. Шедевр золотой эпохи RTS. Сама возможность редактировать характеристики юнитов и зданий даёт возможность переделать баланс игры полностью так как хочется. This game needs no introduction. A masterpiece from the golden era of RTS. The very ability to edit the characteristics of units and buildings makes it possible to remake the balance of the game completely as you want.

    Absolutelly not recommended. You can play the game up to a point, where it decides you can no longer build units or do anything, and that's it. The fixes online of changing the unit limit won't work. Too bad, because it'd be a wonderful game otherwise.

    "even in 4k!" ♥♥♥♥ so small i need a second monocle. Same mistake like with every other retro game. You can even upscale it to 8k, does nothing if text, icons and the whole freaking game just turn into ants. Cant see anything. Sadly have to refund it since i just can play the gog version i allready have instead.

    That's my childhood right there! This is a great buy for anyone who loves good ol' RTS games with base building. Gameplay is fun, mission briefings and tips even funnier soundtrack is really awesome and out there and so are the units. Only thing to look out for are few bugs, all can be solved by looking through the discussions here on steam. Honestly just buy the damn thing it's like 5 Euros. You can thank me later, this game is a gem!

    Technically, this is the third game in the series as the original KKND was a Dos title. KKND Xtreme was the Direct X conversion of the game, but released some new content and features not found in the original game. It is good to see this game back out with some spit and polish. KKND2 was the first legacy game I was able to get working in Windows 10. As with most older Direct X games, I had to write a custom *.bat file that would exit Windows Explorer while the game was running to prevent…

The bugs that used to be there (random crashes, unit maximizer etc.) are still there unfortunately, so save often :-). If you don't know this game yet, I wouldn't bother with it, but if you're here for nostalgia's sake, go for it! Absolutely worth the 5 bucks.…
