The story aspect of the game is characterized by humorous mission briefings featuring real actors, which adds a unique charm to the experience. While the gameplay presents a fair challenge initially, it becomes increasingly difficult as players progress, requiring strategic resource management to fend off relentless AI opponents. Despite some technical issues and crashes, players appreciate the nostalgic feel and engaging narrative elements.
“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.”
“Despite these bugs, I love the game, especially the funny mission briefings.”
“The soundtrack is awesome, the briefing missions have humor and use real actors, the gameplay is still good.”
“Evolved new quest prophecy will hang when I build almost maximum units and almost complete the quest.”
“This game crashed after the fourth survivor mission and doesn't even start the first one from the mutants.”
“Note that the original KKND quest is not playable.”

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 by modern standards and experience frustrating time losses, the overall experience is enriched by effective unit interactions and engaging campaigns.
“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.”
