KKnD, or Krush, Kill 'n' Destroy is the first of three real-time strategy games in the KKnD series, released on March 5, 1997 in the United States and Australia and March 21, 1997 in Europe.[3] The game was an Australian project from Melbourne-based developer Beam Software. KKnD takes place in a post-apocalyptic setting, where two factions are fighting for control over the few natural resources left. The single-player campaign chronicles a futuristic war in 2140 from the perspective of one of two factions chosen by the player: humans (the 'Survivors') and mutants (the 'Evolved'). Each faction has its own campaign consisting of 15 missions each.
