    Some very snazzy production values give a great 3D wrapper to a fairly generic strategy RPG - a randomised hex-tiled overworld with dungeons to explore seems at first to offer such possibility, but inevitably the majority of play is stuck in a fairly basic RPG battle system with little depth. It might work better in lighter bursts, but each run sees you stuck in scenarios for extendedSome very snazzy production values give a great 3D wrapper to a fairly generic strategy RPG - a randomised hex-tiled overworld with dungeons to explore seems at first to offer such possibility, but inevitably the majority of play is stuck in a fairly basic RPG battle system with little depth. It might work better in lighter bursts, but each run sees you stuck in scenarios for extended grinds, and at times only to see progress end with a random spell of poor luck. Playable it may be, but novel it ain't.… Expand

    95%는 결코 결코 100%가 아니란걸 알려준 작품. TRPG를 게임으로 옮긴듯한 게임성과 비주얼이지만 그 모험까지는 옮기지 못한게 아쉽다.

    Как в это играть, графика вырви глаз, ужас, особо не разбирался, но игра не залетела, поиграйте в теже герои меча и магии, а эту в корзину с мусором.

    its fine but still lacks a lot of features the fights become repetitive pretty quickly.

    Super cool turn-base-strategy game, fun to play with friends but playing solo is not that fun. It was free on epic games and "free" with game pass

    A good roguelike to play with friends. Good game design and interesting mechanics taken from the best RPGs. The randomness factor surprises and at the same time upsets, it is ABSOLUTELY EVERYWHERE here. In addition to all of the above, there is a fairly high level of difficulty. So you need to have good luck and thinking to complete the game 100%. My rating is 6/10.

    Good mix of board game, classic pen & paper, turn-based combat and roguelike with few new features.

    I’m highly impressed with Ironoak Games’ debut. If you’re ready for a long and painful (the difficulty level is so high!) but immensely satisfying wander across colorful fantasy realms, do not delay and buy this wonderful roguelike. [07/2018, p.48]

    For The King is a very creative take on the Boardgame and RPG genres with a great focus on multiplayer. The single player mode is more an afterthought than anything else, depriving For The King of much of its allure.
