Release Date: November 2, 2023
The second installment in a series of roguelikes with turn-based strategy and jRPG elements. For the King II is, once again, set in the land of Fahrul, where a group of heroes tries to overthrow the tyrannical queen.
For the King II is the second installment in a series of roguelike series with combat reminiscent of turn-based strategies and old-school jRPGs, which originated in 2018. Like the first game, it was developed by IronOak Games and published by Curve Games.
For the King II is, once again, set in the land of Fahrul. The queen, trying to quell the chaos after the king's death, ended up becoming a tyrant. Her guards are everywhere, seeing potential criminals in all citizens. Our playable party decides to put an end to the queen's tyranny.
For the King II is an isometric game. The playable party can consist of several different classes, such as fighters, archers and mages. Exploration is turn-based, having us traverse a vast kingdom made up of hexagonal tiles. Combat is also turn-based, since there are plenty of enemies in Fahrul. To succeed, we must correctly position our characters on the battlefield, make good use of their abilities and equip them well. Powerful weapons and armor can be looted off enemies or found in chests, which are abundant in explored dungeons.
The world of Fahrul is procedurally generated, each run meaning new locations, new quests and adventures. Although death is permanent, some items are permanent unlocks. This means we're a bit stronger each playthrough.
Like the first game, For the King II supports singleplayer and co-op.
For the King II retains the first game's cartoonish artstyle. The visuals were improved - the character models and locations are all much more detailed.

Game Ratings for For the King II Video Game.
PC Gamer: 75 / 100 by Lewis Parker
For The King 2 is surprisingly one of the most tactically challenging games of 2023, but suffers from being a bit too much of the same next to the previous monarch.
Gamers Heroes: 95 / 100 by Blaine Smith
For The King 2 is the perfect sequel. It takes the very best components of its predecessor and uses those time-tested elements to raise the series to new heights. To put it simply, For The King 2 is one of the best strategy-based co-op experiences on the market today.
Niche Gamer: 8 / 10 by Matt Kowalski
For the King II has the potential to be a great tabletop-like RPG. At the moment, the biggest things holding the game back are its bugs, matchmaking, and lack of game difficulties. The game’s biggest positives are the ability to have each character flex into a different playstyle, four-play co-op, and the story. With the different bugs we have encountered, we think that For the King II would have benefited from Steam’s Early Access program. Thankfully, it seems that the developers are actively working on bug fixes so it has improved over the last month.
