“Fire. Played with mates who also like to minmax our strategy which made it way more fun. The corny ass story, characters, dialogue, etc also really make this game stand out and create some dumb funny moments. As a…”
“I consider this to be an early review of the game because I completed only 2 campaing with my friend. But I played some endless mode when we couldn't play together. Marvelous upgrade to FtK 1. I recommand it. The…”
“To be clear I write this with many more hours of this game and the first on console. If you loved the first game then this game will be an enjoyable change but there are a lot of things I'm not a crazy fan of. some of…”

“Such a fun game! I love the random events, party options, and the ability to play two player co-op remote. This is such a great indie turn-based combat game! My only suggestion/request would be the ability to adjust the…”
“Great game, consistent updates, tons of replayability, and a great coop game with friends. I enjoyed for the king 1 a lot, but I have put a lot more hours into this one.”

“After a few problems at launch, the game has turned out to be a really good sequel that I may even enjoy more than the original”
“loved the first, the 2nd expanded in pretty good ways. no major complaints, and the dlc content has been fun for what ive expirenced.”

“Easy to play, hard to master! Fun multiplayer for you and your friends”
“How are we still alive 10/10”
“FTK2 already out beats FTK1 because it feels way more possible to beat AT LEAST 1 of the campaigns. 4 party default with potential hirelings, pets, and summons makes the unfair segments of the game feel achievable.…”

“I am having fun, so I will be getting the DLCs once they are on sale (which are sadly required for 100%) PROS + It looks good, the artstyle is pretty and supprisingly detailed + Writing and story is good, and strikes…”
“This game is a delight. The art, music, combat, silly physics, enemies, classes, it's great. My only complaint has to do with cosmetics and character creation. The armor and weapon design for the equipment in the game…”
“Great game especially if you liked the first game lots of new mechanics and updated graphics! I have had lots of fun so fun and can only see more with the DLCs that they have released!”

“Like a lot of games, I have really mixed feelings about this one, so the negative review might change. But seeing the same issues called out in 2023 reviews still present now doesn’t make me confident it will. The…”
“They did everything a sequel typically does. They added complexity, with new classes, a four person party instead of a three person party, new equipment, and a deeper roguelite rewards system. Yet in doing so, it's just…”

“It's great. Wish it supported more than 4 players so I could play with more friends simultaneously.”
“Multiplayer is broken. If you, by what seems like pure chance are in a dungeon, the game will keep stating "waiting on players" even if everyone has picked an option to move forward. This happens quite frequently,…”

“I lose. I learn. I come back. Stay away from For The King II—unless you want the game to haunt your dreams. I've been playing For The King II for over 24 hours now, and I dream about fighting monsters and waves of enemies at night. No joke. The battles, the time pressure—it all…”
