The first For the King was a breakout indie hit back in 2018, earning a Very Positive rating.

The game is a tabletop RPG turned video game, where players move across a board and engage in turn-based combat. It offers co-op for up to 4 players, or one player can control the full party. You will battle together against the tyrant Queen Rosomon in this sequel, which comes close to capturing the joy of tabletop gaming.
For the King 2 just released a new DLC and got a major content update on all platforms, bringing in a new free campaign and new characters. In fact, it’s in celebration of this new patch that the developers decided to make the game free to play for the next week. That way, you can pull your friends into the fray to take on co-op adventures and decide if this can fit into your game night rotation.
