“Gameplay is nice but the game itself is super unbalanced which makes the game frustrating. Enemy attacks deal 30 damage to you while you deal 25 sometimes 14 and these numbers change based on level but you get the idea. Enemies have 150 hp…”
“Made the mistake of playing For The King 2 before the original, and this one is just impossible to finish. Read all the other reviews about the RNG.”
