Krush Kill 'N Destroy Xtreme

Mix Command and Conquer 1 with Mad Max and you have KKND. It's a C&C1 clone. Even though it came out 18 months after C&C, KKND is much more basic and bare bones, lacking many of the features that the older game had, presumably because it was made by a smaller studio. The options screen gives you only two parameters to change, SFX and music volume, to give you one example of what I'm talking about. The in-game command and control options are similiarly bare bones. What KKND has going for it is a vibey post-apoc aesthetic, jamming tunes and quirky Aussie humour. If you like mid-'90s RTS games then you might enjoy it. I didn't play it back in the day, but I still found it fun to play. It's definitely a few pegs down from the quality of the game that inspired it, but if you want more from that era then it's got something to offer. I'd say it stands up better for a modern play than Dark Reign 1 (1997) for example.

Ein Klassiker der nach wie vor viel Spaß macht.

Played this game 30 years ago and still play it now, glad to see it getting some love now

Ni idea desde cuando lo he venido jugando, pero dedicarlo una partida al día me ayuda bastante a relajarme

The Besto of the World!!!! Estou aguardando o KKnD 3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please!

Stare dobre KKND ale mam wrażenie że brakuje podstawowej mechaniki 1 to weterani czerwona ramka m=dostawali regenerację. Druga sprawa za niszczenie budynków żołnierze zdobywali doświadcz i poziomy. Tego nie ma plus AI walczyło stawiało opór na razie po 3 pierwszych misjach mutantami mam wrażenie że AI nie wie co ma robić. Był kiedyś mod do KKND który dawał dużo bonusów do pierwotnej rozgrywki. Właściciele marki koniecznie powinni odszukać tego moda dogadać się z twórcą i wprowadzić jego zmiany. KKND to klasyka gatunku obok SC1 i C&C. Mam nadzieje że dowiozą z nowościami i kolejne pokolenia będą mogły się cieszy tą produkcją. A pamiętam że KKND miało swoje rozwiązania inne od konkurencji za to bardzo ciekawe.

I bought the original on release in 1997 and it was great to finally revisit it nearly 30 years later. It's fantastic that you can simply buy KKND on Steam in 2026 and have it work on a modern PC. The 2026 update adds modern resolutions, online multiplayer, bug fixes and other compatibility improvements, making this the easiest way to experience one of Australia's forgotten gaming classics. That said, I think there were some missed opportunities. Quality of life improvements like control groups, rally points, raising or removing the unit cap, removing the four-building limit and Steam achievements (which should be the bare minimum for any Steam game) would've modernised the experience without changing what made KKND a cult classic. If development continues, I'd happily welcome another update adding campaign difficulty levels, improved pathfinding, more skirmish options, better AI personalities and some restoration of the FMV videos. Even modern enhancement or AI-assisted upscaling of the cinematics would've been better than leaving them untouched. None of those changes would alter the original experience, they'd simply make this the definitive version of it. The game itself is exactly as I remembered it. If you've never played KKND before, expect something closer to the slower pace of the original Command & Conquer than modern RTS games. One thing I still appreciate is that the AI doesn't feel like it cheats. It genuinely runs out of oil and resources if the game goes long enough. My biggest criticism is that many campaign missions eventually become "find where the AI attacks from, build towers, keep mechanics repairing them forever, then overwhelm the enemy with a mass of your strongest available unit type" Compared to Command & Conquer, I don't think there are as many viable strategies. Despite that, I still recommend it. There's a real shortage of classic base-building RTS games in 2026, and this is an important piece of RTS history. Don't expect a full remaster. Expect the best version of the original game, preserved for modern PCs.
