Developer IronOak Games’ wonderful tabletop-RPG-meets-digital-board-game adventure For The King is getting a sequel, and it’ll be making its way to PC some time next year.
The original For The King, if you’re unfamiliar, was a thoroughly entertaining (if sometimes brutally challenging) blend of familiar RPG stables – think dungeon crawling, questing, turn-based exploration and combat, loot acquisition, and so on – streamlined into a light-hearted, optionally co-operative rogue-like adventure.
More than anything, it was a wonderfully designed little story generator – encompassing everything from haunted carnivals to suffocating jungles – with enough potential combinations across its moving parts to feel sufficiently different each run.
