really struggled with the game first time trying; it was just me and my bf aand it was very hard to manage support/damage balance as a group of only two- we either went full damage and suffered on healing/buffing and died as a result; or either one of us would take up full support role and we'd still die due to insufficient party damage.

it seems the sweet spot is to have a three people group; we had a friend join up recently and we're currently on our third map. been really fun. idk how it goes on hard mode but we're slowly getting there. game has its ass moments sometimes; you get f load of gold at the final objective- the campaign ends :D can't spend it or have it accumulate in some sort of other type of currency too...wow you're trolling your players!! how unique of you XD

The luck variable (as in receiving good rolls and weapons/armor) in this game is too punishing.

Tumme upp

This is overall a fun game that's well executed, but decisions by the developers ruin the fun for me.

I really enjoyed this game to start, but it constantly kicks you in the nuts. Get a great weapon? It'll break on a critical botch. Fight a master thief? He'll steal all your character's gold and even if you kill him, you can't get it back. Get hit with an acid attack? It'll randomly destroy a piece of gear every other tick or so.

If you've got a high tolerance for losing, maybe this won't be a deal breaker for you, but it was for me. This game warns you up front that your party will die, but I *wasn't* dying. I was doing great, I was just constantly losing my loot, which totally killed the fun for me. Games are supposed to be fun, so for that reason alone, I cannot recommend it.

Also the interface randomly stopped letting me access my inventory during combat, which meant I couldn't use my panaxes to cure the acid that was destroying my loot. Not sure if that was a bug or a game mechanic, but it was the final straw. If you're a loss tolerant player, this is still a good game, but if the idea of doing a quest for a sweet purple sword only to critically botch and have it get destroyed ON THE VERY FIRST USE (happened to me), then save your blood pressure and skip this game.

This game will kick you in the jewels over and over again under the guise of being "hard." Recommended if you don't get enough of the random cruelty of life and would like more via a game.

A pity because the game has good bones. As difficulty climbed though, it became more of a misery grinder than something fun.

If you want to see a hard game that's actually good at being hard, go play The Last Spell instead.

Great

i have enjoyed playing this game, both on my own and with my friends

Nice and relaxed

For the king is fun!

I don't have much to say save for the fact that I love the FTK games. The RNG can be quite frustrating at times and I won't lie that I had to force quit the game several times in order to save my runs, but that's what makes you plan several steps ahead. This is why I enjoy the game, it offers a challenge and the gameplay itself is fun, especially with friends. I think a few things including the Master difficulty are overtuned and should be nerfed, but I doubt that'll come to pass given the game's age and the fact that it's a small team who also work hard on the sequel. Definitely worth picking up, including the sequel.
