For The King Rogue-Like RPG Arrives on Consoles This Week

Written by Brandon Hofer on May 07, 2019

News: The popular PC title is arriving on consoles with all of the previously released expansion content.

Curve Digital and IronOak Games have revealed that rogue-like RPG For The King is now available on PlayStation and will arrive on both Xbox One and Nintendo Switch later this week. It will be available for £19.99/€24.99/$24.99 and all platforms will receive a 20 percent launch discount for two weeks and preorders are already available for Nintendo Switch and Xbox One.

For The King is a strategic RPG that blends tabletop and roguelike elements in a challenging adventure that spans the realms. Venture forth into the lands of Fahrul and discover that every playthrough is unique with procedural maps, quests, and events. Just remember adventurer, you do this not for riches or fame but for your village, for your realm, For The King!

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 stem the tide of impending doom. Will you put an end to the Chaos?

For The King’s most replayable aspect comes in the form of Lore. Lore is generated through battles, story content, quests and more and is a currency that is carried through each of your playthroughs, giving you a real sense of progression. Lore is used to purchase new Characters, Customization Options, Locations, Encounters and Items to continue to vary and enhance your gameplay as you continue to save Fahrul.

Michael Fisher, Product Manager at Curve Digital said, "After a very huge success on PC we’re very happy and excited to bring the full For The King experience to console players - featuring all previously released content. Players now will be able to experience the world of Fahrul and fight to end the chaos."

Some of features you will find in this game include:

Procedurally Generated Maps - Explore a procedurally generated world, from maps to quests to events, where every adventure is made unique.

Singleplayer and Multiplayer Game Modes - Explore the lands of Fahrul alone, or with friends in local co-op or online multiplayer. Stick together for protection, or split the party to cover more ground.

Turn-based Combat System - Fight and die as a party in fast-paced and brutal turn-based combat using a unique slot system for attacks and special abilities.

Includes all free updates - Following the success of For The King on PC, the console version of the game will include all the existing expansion packs for the game - including the Dungeon Crawl, Frozen Expanse, Hildebrandt’s Cellar, Gold Rush and Into The Deep adventures.
