The game combines action with RPG and RTS. The player will control a hero who can command various troops. The player has full control of their character and can run around freely with their troops following them. When controlling other units, the game plays like a typical RTS and you can move troops, change their formations and make them perform various actions. Cannons for example can be used to break down castle walls and spearmen can be used to protect troops from cavalry. Source: Wikipedia, "Kingdom Under Fire II", available under the CC-BY-SA License.
