A remarkable turn-based RPG is 100% free on Steam until November 12, and I highly encourage you to check out this game alone or with friends, as it supports multiplayer co-op. Free games are common on the gaming platform, and every so often, there’s a new free game on Steam that you can download and keep forever. Alternatively, there are also a few promotional periods where paid games become entirely free to keep forever if you can grab them in time, while others are offered for free for a short period. There’s never a shortage of what to play there.

Now, the platform is offering a paid game for free, but only until November 12. In a limited-time promotion, you can download and play For the King 2 for free on Steam. The offer ends on November 12, meaning that you’ll be unable to continue playing the turn-based RPG for free when the date arrives. Even so, during the period, you can play the base game’s content entirely for free, no strings attached. All you have to do is click on the Play Game button on its product page on Steam to start the download.

What I consider one of the greatest RPGs of the decade, For the King 2 is a turn-based adventure RPG with roguelike elements, where you go through various stages to defeat the tyrannical Queen. Released in 2023, this turn-based RPG uses procedurally generated maps, so every playthrough feels slightly different from the previous one. The title will have you explore an overworld that’s full of dangers, completing missions to get stronger, as well as dungeons along the way. When you enter combat, you adhere to a small grid-like map, and strategy plays a huge part.

Every character is expected to take on a different role. As such, while one character is mostly responsible for the damage output, another needs to take care of their companions. There are several different classes in For the King 2, and more are being added constantly. For example, just recently, the game received the Pugilist and the Gravedigger classes, as part of the Dust to Dust expansion. In fact, the free trial period For the King 2 is going on to promote the release of the latest DLC for the turn-based RPG.

For the King 2 is a mostly positive game, with a 79% Positive review status from players on Steam, at the time of writing. This shows that the majority of those who played it enjoyed it, even if it isn’t necessarily their favorite RPG. As a fan myself, I do believe this is a fantastic game, especially if you play it with friends. This amazing turn-based RPG is also at a 70% off discount on Steam until November 23, so if you play it for free and enjoy it, you can purchase it and continue playing.

If you’re looking for something new to play, the chance to play For the King 2 entirely for free is great, and you should at least check it out – especially if you can convince a few buddies to do that with you. In any case, there are tons of other free RPGs on Steam, so be sure to check out the storefront frequently.
