Wipe the radioactive dust out of your eyes because it’s really happening: nearly 20 years after the games were first released, post-apocalyptic real-time strategy series Krush Kill ‘N Destroy will be getting a major new update, adding online multiplayer and more as publisher Ziggurat Interactive teams up with a talented modder.
Compete against friends in intense PvP (player versus player) battles across a collection of post-nuclear battlefields. Choose your faction and fight tooth, nail, and tentacle in harsh, unforgiving and barely survivable conditions to gain control of precious oil and gain bragging rights over your friends.
Both KKND games will introduce additional languages, improved mod support, and bug fixes for their gritty and compelling story campaigns.
In the original releases, you battled tooth, claw, and tentacle, choosing to join one of several factions as they duke it out for control of precious oil. In story campaign modes, you’ll complete dozens of missions and command more than 50 air, land, and amphibious units and advance across harsh, unforgiving and barely hospitable terrain.
In addition to the restoration of multiplayer features, the new patches will introduce additional display resolutions, game balance improvements, improved support for mods, additional playable languages, and fixes to known issues with the previous releases.
