About For The King
About this game
Developed by IronOak Games and published by Curved Games.
An unknown assailant has murdered the king, and what was once a peaceful and prosperous kingdom has fallen into unruly chaos. The queen is desperate and has sent out a plea to all, but no one that has gone on the journey has come back. Will you be able to?
Unique Combat
Thanks to the unique dice-roll-inspired system, the combat is brutal, fast-paced, and fun! Explore to collect herbs, slot attacks and special abilities, and fight and die as a party in this unique game!
Great Replayability!
Every playthrough will feel unique, as the maps, events, quests, and loots will all be procedurally generated! Use Lore between your playthroughs to purchase more Weapons, Items, NPCs, Classes, Events, and much more!
Together... Or Not
You choose whether you play alone or with a friend, whether local or online! Split up to cover more ground or stick together to fend off danger — every choice you make can mean the difference between life and death!
Tons To Do!
For The King contains all the released expansion content, including Dungeon Crawl, Frozen Expanse Adventure, Gold Rush Un-Cooperative Mode, Into The Deep, and more!
