About This Game

The King is dead, murdered by an unknown assailant. Now the once peaceful kingdom of Fahrul is in chaos.

With nowhere left to turn and stretched beyond her means, the queen has put out a desperate plea to the citizens of the land to rise-up and help stem the tide of impending doom. Will you brave the relentless elements, fight the wicked creatures, sail the seas and delve into the dark underworld? None before you have returned from their journey. Can you be the one to put an end to the Chaos?

For The King is a challenging blend of Strategy, JRPG Combat, and Roguelike elements.

Gameplay is nice but the game itself is super unbalanced which makes the game frustrating. Enemy attacks deal 30 damage to you while you deal 25 sometimes 14 and these numbers change based on level but you get the idea. Enemies have 150 hp while your party have 100. Worst part is even if your stats are at max (which is 95%) you have a chance to miss your attacks because the game is based on dice rolls. In order to increase your stats you need to find items according to that skill and if you are unlucky you will never get the items you need. The game is very challenging so If you like masochism then this game is for you.

I really tried to love this game and at its core it is a lot of fun, especially if you have a full group. The balancing is atrocious however and has ruined the replayability for me. I was really into the game but had to reflect and found myself spending to much time finding optimal guides and methods just to win one run on normal.For me, this game is supposed to be a casual experience and due to it's lack of balancing by the mid-late game point(s), I feel I need to follow these guides somewhat strictly just to have a chance to win.

Genuinely the worst roguelike I've ever played, maybe among the dullest experiences in all of gaming. There are zero interesting choices to make as far as character building goes, and none of the classes are cool. I won my first run and after that the whole experience just seemed extremely hollow. There's no interesting combinations of items, because your weapon dictates every move you get in combat. There is no interesting story or world because the developers thought they could get away with horribly dull and uncreative writing just because it's a roguelike. Co-op is terrible because it just increases the time you spend waiting around, and since everyone moves individually, trying to start encounters with enemies is a chore. I actually cannot think of a single redeeming quality of this game. A rare trait. Just look at most people's positive reviews for this game. Very few of them have over 20 hours. The whole point of a rougelike is to have amazing replayability. If the replay...

RNG stupidly in favor of npc's, low quality cheap difficulty. Might as well be frustrated gambling in the casino.

This game taught me that, if it isn't 100%, then it's 1%.

This game is entirely random chance, almost no strategy involved. Look for a different game if you want something similar to a rogue-like.
