14 itemsAbout the Game
The King is dead, murdered by an unknown assailant. Now the once peaceful kingdom of Fahrul is in chaos.
With nowhere left to turn and stretched beyond her means, the queen has put out a desperate plea to the citizens of the land to rise-up and help stem the tide of impending doom. Will you brave the relentless elements, fight the wicked creatures, sail the seas and delve into the dark underworld? None before you have returned from their journey. Can you be the one to put an end to the Chaos?
For The King is a challenging blend of Strategy, JRPG Combat, and Roguelike elements.
Fight and die as a party in fast paced and brutal turn-based combat using a unique slot system for attacks and special abilities. Find and gather herbs for your trusty pipe to heal your wounds and cure your maladies. Set up safe camps or brave the horrors that nightfall brings.
Every playthrough is made unique with procedurally generated maps, quests, loots and events for you to tackle. Use Lore between playthroughs to purchase Weapons, Items, NPCs, Classes, Events, and more!
Play either single player, local co-operative play, or online co-operative play. Choose to split your party up and cover more ground or stick together for protection! A sound strategy can mean the difference between life and death.
For The King features all released expansion content including Dungeon Crawl, Frozen Expanse Adventure, Gold Rush Un-Cooperative Mode, Into The Deep and more!
Just remember adventurer, you do this not for the riches or fame but for your village, for your realm, For The King!
