Inspired by tabletop adventures, For The King II builds on the hugely popular blend of strategy, turn-based combat, and roguelite replayability and delivers one of the features most requested from For The King players, four-player co-op (the original only supported 3 players). For The King II delivers a continuation of the narrative arc for fans of the original and offers brand-new combat mechanics and features, a host of new biomes to explore, and much more.

For The King II is available on Steam now for $18.74, down from its usual price of $24.99 until July 11th due to the Summer Sale. The game is rated as "Playable" on the Steam Deck by Valve's testing, due to small in-game text and some controller icons that may be incorrectly displayed.
