The free trial of For The King II on Steam ended on 12 November, but the game is still discounted there: €7.49 (no fees) instead of €24.99, a 70% cut that runs until Monday 23 November at 18:00 UTC (19:00 CET). Resellers go lower, and the first For The King is on sale too.
A turn-based roguelite played like a tabletop RPG
IronOak Games makes it and Curve Games publishes it. Steam sums it up as a turn-based roguelite tabletop RPG: you move your party across a fantasy map split into hexagons, and you can play alone or as a group of four.
The reception on Steam is decent rather than glowing: Mostly Positive, with 9,158 of 12,899 reviews in favour (71%). Metacritic has it at 76.
From the queen's call for help to the queen as the enemy
The original For The King already mixed strategy, tabletop RPG and roguelike, with random maps, missions and events on every run, and it could be played solo or in co-op, online or on the same screen. Its story started with the king murdered and the queen asking ordinary people to step in. The sequel turns that around: in Fahrul the queen herself is now the tyrant you fight, and part of the plot is finding out what secret the once-beloved ruler is hiding.
Two more differences show up in the Steam data. The sequel needs more machine: 8 GB of RAM, a GeForce GTX 960 (4 GB) and 7 GB of disk at minimum, against 4 GB of RAM and 3 GB for the first. And players still rate the original higher: Very Positive, 87% of 31,217 reviews, and 79 on Metacritic.
Steam Key or the Steam sale
The cheapest Steam Key this morning was at Gamivo for €4.27 with coupon GCDKGamivo (€5.17 with fees), about €2.30 less than Steam. Difmark has a Steam Account for €4.19 with coupon Gocdkeys (€4.38 with fees), but that means logging into an account someone else owns, so the game never sits in your own library. For a few cents more, the key is the better buy.
Is it a good moment? Roughly average. The key's historical median is €4.04 and the lowest we've recorded was €2.00 on 19 February (both without fees), so today's price is slightly above usual. If that bothers you, set a price alert and we'll email you when it drops. Otherwise, every offer is on the For The King II key page.
The first For The King for about a euro
The original costs €1.99 (no fees) on Steam, down 90% from €19.99, until Thursday 19 November at 18:00 UTC. A Steam Key at Difmark Digital Keys is €1.00 with coupon Gocdkeys (€1.05 with fees), the lowest price in our 300 days of data for it; its median is €2.05. Find it on the For The King page.
Prices checked on the morning of 13 November.
