In For The King, a party of three adventurers sets out across the realm of Fahrul after its king has been murdered, in a strategy RPG with tabletop roots. You move your heroes across a hex map, visit towns, dungeons and encounters, and fight turn-based battles where actions succeed or fail on chance rolls that your stats influence. Runs are partly random, and losing can mean starting a new adventure.
You can play alone controlling all three heroes, or team up with friends online or on the same screen, with each player taking a character. It has the feel of a tabletop board game with roguelike difficulty, and it suits groups or solo players who enjoy planning around luck.
