For The King

For The King is a strategy RPG that blends tabletop board-game ideas, JRPG-style battles and roguelike structure into one package. The story begins with the king murdered by an unknown assassin and a once peaceful kingdom sliding into chaos. Its queen has no way out, so she begs ordinary people to rise up and hold back a coming wave of doom. Your party must face hostile forces, fight monsters, sail across the sea and descend into the dark underworld, and the store description warns that past heroes never came back from this journey.

The core loop is built around turn-based combat powered by a dice system. You roll to fuel attacks and special skills in fast, unforgiving battles with your team. Between fights you hunt for herbs to feed your trusty pipe, which heals wounds and cures illness, and you decide whether to set up a safe camp or brave the dangers of night. Each run brings randomized maps, quests, rewards and events, so no two attempts look quite the same. Between runs you spend knowledge to buy weapons, items, characters, classes and events, giving each new attempt a little more to work with.

You can play alone, in local co-op or in online co-op. Split the party to explore more ground, or keep everyone together to cover each other in tight spots. The store description stresses that careful strategy decides who lives and who falls, which suits players who enjoy planning several turns ahead. It also mentions several expansion packs that add more content on top of the base experience.

What stands out most is the mix of genres. The dice-driven combat gives tactical choices a tabletop feel, while the roguelike layer keeps you coming back for another attempt. The developers frame the whole adventure around protecting a village and a kingdom rather than chasing wealth or glory, which gives the grim fantasy setting a clear emotional anchor.

• Turn-based combat is driven by a dice system, where your rolls power attacks and special abilities.
• Roguelike runs use randomized maps, quests, rewards and events, so each attempt plays differently.
• You can play solo, or team up with friends in local co-op or online co-op sessions.
• Gather herbs for your pipe to heal wounds and cure ailments, and decide whether to camp safely or face the night.
• Spend knowledge between runs to unlock weapons, items, characters, classes and events.
• Full controller support, Steam Cloud saves, and remote play on phone, tablet and TV make it easy to play your way.

For The King holds a Very Positive rating on Steam, with 87% of its reviews positive. The total comes from tens of thousands of reviews, which is a large sample and suggests the score reflects a broad mix of players rather than a handful of opinions.

On Steam, Very Positive means a clear majority of reviewers recommend the game, and a high percentage backed by a big review count is generally a dependable signal. Smaller review counts can swing wildly, but this game is well past that stage. Your own taste still matters, especially for a title that combines dice rolls with randomized roguelike runs, so reading a few recent reviews is worthwhile before you buy.

All prices below are Taiwan Steam store prices in NT$. The regular price is NT$ 318, and the current price is NT$ 31, a 90% discount. The lowest price we have recorded is also NT$ 31, logged on the first day we tracked it, and the highest price we have recorded is the same NT$ 31.

Our record shows that this title is discounted often, and it has not been offered free to keep on any day we have logged. Because our price record is still short, the current low should be read as a tentative verdict rather than a settled pattern. We have not yet seen how the price moves over a longer stretch.

If you already like the genre, NT$ 31 is a very low entry point for a game with strong reviews and a lot of replay value. If you are unsure, adding it to your wishlist and watching for future sales is a reasonable approach while our record builds up.
