The game's story is enhanced by humorous mission briefings featuring real actors, which adds a unique charm to the experience. While the narrative structure is engaging, players encounter significant technical issues, such as crashes and bugs, that detract from the overall enjoyment. Despite these flaws, the missions provide a fair challenge, particularly as players progress and face increasingly difficult scenarios.
“Despite these bugs, I love the game, especially the funny mission briefings.”
“The original missions have a very fair feeling to them for the first few missions for both factions, but as you progress through more and more, you are really put to the test as you accumulate enough resources to prepare your defenses/counterattack forces, as the enemy can and will overwhelm you if you stick with regular defenses.”
“The soundtrack is awesome, the briefing missions have humor and use real actors, the gameplay is still good.”
“Note that the original KKND quest is not playable.”
“This game crashed after the fourth survivor mission and doesn't even start the first one from the mutants.”
“Evolved new quest prophecy will hang when I build almost maximum units and almost complete the quest.”

The gameplay is characterized by a blend of fast-paced action and enjoyable base building, enhanced by humorous briefing missions featuring real actors. While some players find the controls clunky and experience frustrating time losses, the overall experience is enriched by effective unit interactions and engaging campaigns that harken back to classic RTS mechanics.
“However, something that really set KKND apart from the other RTS titles was its rather fast gameplay.”
“Two great campaigns, old school gameplay, and the base building had a lot of pleasure to play.”
“Some are annoying because you lose 15-20 minutes of gameplay easily.”
“Units were usually quite effective against whatever they were pitted against, as there didn't seem to be any rock, paper, scissors damage mechanics in play.”
