I have a love-hate relationship with this game.

I had been keeping an eye on this game for quite some time, seeing it on sale numerous times, but I never took the plunge. Eventually, I found myself in search of a great co-op experience, and with this game repeatedly popping up in Steam sales, I decided to purchase it while it was discounted.

After almost 20 hours of gameplay (approximately 10 hours in co-op and 10 hours in single-player — I couldn't wait to dive in, so I explored the single-player mode), I've come to see this game as a middle ground between Talisman and Heroes. It incorporates elements of D&D, offers a fantasy setting, and boasts a wealth of content and variety.

However, there's a significant amount of RNG and grinding involved. Despite this, it's a very engaging game. I highly recommend playing solo, and it's incredibly fun with friends, though it can be frustrating if you lose and your progress is wiped.

Don't tell me you never did this! You see a game with good reviews, you put it in your wish list, you buy it a few months later when it is heavily on sale, and... you forget about it in the depth of your game library!

That's exactly what's happened to For the king! in my Steam library.

6 years later, it is still a very solid roguelite RPG. Pretty good replayability, various game modes depending on your preferences, pretty graphics. Well, a very good investment you can do before buying the second opus, which I will probably do shortly.
