The campaign is divided into a series of missions, each of which has its own objectives. Players must use their units to complete the objectives, while also defending their base from enemy attacks.
The multiplayer mode in Kingdom Under Fire II allows players to compete against each other in a variety of game modes. These modes include deathmatch, team deathmatch, and capture the flag.

The Dark Legion is a powerful army of undead creatures, led by the evil sorcerer Balor. Balor is determined to conquer the world, and he will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
The four factions of the world must unite to defeat the Dark Legion. However, they are divided by their own rivalries and ambitions. Can they put aside their differences and work together to save the world?
