This is the semi-final sale, with one last discount coming during the Steam Summer Sale later this month.

Semi-Final Sale: June 16 to June 23

There is a 40% discount during this period.
The same 40% discount will be available one last time during the Steam Summer Sale.

After that, the game will be removed from sale on (or shortly after) July 10.


Patch:New difficulty: Nightmare – for those who think "Hard" was too soft

Spawn indicator added for enemies spawned by items

Increased drop chance for Tier 4 items:

×1.5 on Hard

×2.0 on Nightmare

Fixed price bug that sometimes caused incorrect shop prices on Hard difficulty

Minor bugs fixes

Since quite a few people asked for a final sale, I decided to release a small update with a new difficulty option and some minor fixes and changes. The game will be 40% off from June 16 to 23. I'm not sure if I should extend the discount into the Summer Sale — let me know what you think, as it feels a bit weird to me.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to let you know that I Wanna Be The King! will soon be removed from sale on Steam.

This wasn’t an easy decision, but I’ve faced a number of challenges and real-life problems during development, which significantly increased the time it took to make the game. Along the way, I came to realize that the genre and style of the game aren’t what I’m truly passionate about — and that led to some poor, and at times lazy, decisions on my part. I also ran into a lot of issues with the engine (Unreal Engine 4), which took even more time to deal with.

I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who supported the game, left feedback, or simply gave it a try. It really means a lot to me. I’m sorry things turned out this way, but unfortunately, I’m not able to continue updating or improving the game.

That said, I don’t want to give up on making games just yet. I’m currently working on new projects that better reflect the kind of experiences I want to create, and I hope to share more about them in the near future. Your support has meant a lot to me, and I hope you’ll stick around for what’s coming next.

Thanks again to everyone who was part of this journey — and I’m truly sorry for the disappointment.
