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.
