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.
For The King II perfects the winning formula of the first chapter by adding bonuses/maluses linked to positioning and some other pleasant innovations. The gameplay is improved and makes it a great starting point for those who have never played the IronOak franchise. It is not one of those sequels that shows off lots of new features, brilliant innovations or incredibly original ideas, quite the opposite: it is so anchored to its past that it also drags with it some of the defects of its predecessor.

It's still the same For The King, which only pretended to have changed, but lied, and therefore will continue to humiliate players - cruelly breaking them off, leading them through endless dungeons with a bunch of rooms without a single store, playing on emotions, taking away hope and generating unique situations in each playthrough. This is why we, masochists, love her.
For the King II is a fantastic addition to your Steam library if you’re a fan of strategy and tabletop games. There is a little bit of a learning curve if you’re new to the franchise, but once you find that groove it is an absolute blast. With new adventures to be found in every hex, you’ll easily lose hours diving into the world of Fahrul with friends as you leave chaos in your wake.
For The King II manages to expertly build on its predecessor, greatly improving combat, exploration, and cooperative features through added elements and a much cleaner UI. While single-player may suffer on occasion and certain elements can feel missing, For The King II is nothing short of an amazing title that will both cement itself into the minds of fans and cause its predecessor to hand over the limelight for good.
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.
For the King 2 is a very simply designed turn-based game that definitely accomplishes its goal: It's an interesting, challenging, and engaging fantasy adventure RPG that can serve up novel experiences solo or cooperatively on the first play or the tenth, with plenty of personality along the way. For all that goodness it's hobbled by an interface that works against what should be very smooth gameplay. The mysteries of where to go, how to find a lost dungeon, or how to defeat a dangerous enemy are fun ones; the mysteries of how and when your Farmer makes a scarecrow, not so much.
For The King 2 (FTK2), the sequel to For The King (the original) takes the world of Fahrul to new heights. FTK2 continues the story from the original and expands the content with 5 fully developed missions that provide upwards of 6 hours of fun per mission. FTK2 at launch has 5 times the content that the original had during its launch. The battle mechanics have been expanded making the core draw of the game more engaging and the new graphical style has allowed for much finer detail with the artistry than its predecessor. Although not immediately available at launch, IronOak games has a Roadmap that will deliver Console release in 2024 along with new DLC adventures and the return of the very popular Hildebrant’s Cellar dungeon game mode from the original game. There is nothing quite like For The King that delivers the D&D campaign style experience that role-playing gamers crave! FTK2 is at the top of the Rogue-lite games that have been released in 2023 and will remain a top draw into 2024.

I know it ain't perfect by now but I got full trust for it to be the highest danger for my university degree. Love the game and looking forward to play with my friends or random people from the discord.

I really want to like this game, but it is just often not enjoyable. It's often tedious and is overall very uncompelling on most fronts (gameplay, animations, graphics, story, characters, UI, lack of proper tutorials/explanations, lack of map variety, etc., etc.). If you have mates to play with though, that should be able to help a lot with it being more fun. Overall, the game is just not fun and not well made. There is no depth to anything and the balance is not good. The game is extremely shallow and you're basically playing on the one same, boring, uninspired map every time. Additionally, this is barely different than FtK 2. It's THE LAMEST sequel I've played all year, by far in terms of lacking and quality innovation from its predecssor.
Also, while the game surely is much better in coop with good friends, it's incredibly buggy more so when trying to play multiplayer. This current state should've been an Early Access at best. But Iron Oak would rather swindle us and have us pay for their unfinished game.

Muchísimo peor que el juego original, donde antes la simpleza relucía cierto encanto y dedicación ahora se va por la borda, con un juego con una interfaz horrible, sin tutoriales, tardando en cargar cuando lo único "nuevo" es un sistema de combate, algo más... complejo? que en el primero. Decepción total.

Summary With the fanatical Queensguard on every street corner and ordinary citizens turned bandit in every alley, will you risk the threat of treason and band together with fellow outlaws to bring an end to the Queen's oppressive reign? For The King II builds on the challenging blend of Strategy, JRPG Combat, and Roguelike elements from the hug...
