For The King 2 is getting a limited-time spotlight on Steam, and it’s the perfect moment to see if this dice-driven, tabletop-style RPG is your kind of adventure. The sequel has been praised for its tactical depth and striking visuals, while also drawing criticism for leaning hard on luck and not offering enough variety across its combat encounters and class system. One major review scored it 75 out of 100, which sums up the verdict: strong fundamentals, but not without caveats.
Player feedback on Steam is more mixed. About 69% of roughly 14,000 user reviews are positive, suggesting that enjoyment largely depends on how much you embrace its unpredictable, dice-influenced design. If you’re the type who loves strategic planning but doesn’t mind fate occasionally throwing a curveball, there’s a good chance you’ll find plenty to like.
The timing to try it couldn’t be better. For The King 2 is free to play on Steam through Monday, November 24. After the free weekend ends, the game is available at a hefty 60% discount. That drops the regular price of around $25 to roughly $10, matching its lowest recorded price according to SteamDB.
In other words, you can test-drive the game all weekend, then decide whether to lock it in at its best price. It’s an easy recommendation for fans of turn-based, tabletop-inspired RPGs who enjoy tense, tactical battles and don’t mind a bit of roll-the-dice chaos.
