For The King
SCORE: 64
For The King is another one of those Xbox
Game Pass video games we got here at Family Friendly Gaming. For The
King is an interesting mixture of styles. We have a giant grid based map
we move around on. Tiles can randomly change from turn to turn. For
example a tile is just fine one turn and then when we come back over it
is now a mud pit trap that we must get out of. Monsters spawn on the map
quite frequently as well. Monsters can improve their defenses making
them even harder to destroy.
When we get into a fight against a monster in For The King we go into a
turn based battle system. It seems rather random how well our attacks go
against the monsters in For The King. I noticed that even on the easiest
difficulty For The King is really challenging. It is very easy to die,
get poisoned and ultimately lose. Your team of three characters can
revive one another in For The King. This is very handy. I also learned
to attack with all three instead of just one.
For The King contains blood, and violence in some very blocky looking
graphics. The music is nice, and the fantasy land has its own lore to
learn about. For The King can be played in single player, local
multiplayer, and online multiplayer. There are some physical copy
versions of For The King on certain systems. I found physical copies on
the PS4 and Nintendo Switch specifically. For The King is 866 megs in
terms of memory size on the Xbox One.
I wanted to like For The King so much. I have to be open, honest and
transparent about For The King. I did not like this game. Part of the
problem is the annoying difficulty. Another part of the problem is being
given goals I was not able to achieve. Why tell me to go somewhere that
has a monster way beyond my abilities? Every single turn the monsters
seemed to get stronger. There were less and less places I could go where
I could win. Without winning there is no gold to buy better gear. Random
tile events caused more damage. For The King is frustrating.
The concept behind For The King is very interesting indeed. The meh
graphics aside For The King has potential. I like being able to pick
characters and classes in the beginning. I enjoyed moving my three
people around separately each turn. I never did understand why sometimes
all were there to fight and sometimes less than three were there. If you
like challenging games that randomize things against you then you might
enjoy For The King. I already deleted For The King.
