For the King 2's latest trailer reveals landboats and recruitable pets

Developer IronOak Games has teased a little more of For the King 2 – the sequel to its wonderful tabletop-RPG-meets-digital-board-game adventure – with its latest trailer revealing a handful of new features including landboats and recruitable pets.

The original For The King was a bit of a treat, blending familiar RPG staples – dungeon crawling, questing, turn-based exploration and combat, loot acquisition, and so on – into a light-hearted, optionally co-operative rogue-like adventure with some neat story generation through its myriad randomised narrative events.

Much of that core remains in place in For The King 2, but the sequel – which pits players against the kingdom of Fahrul’s tyrannical queen 20 years after the end of the first game – adds new biomes, expanded co-op for up to four players (now also available online), increased customisaton across classes, armour, and weapons, plus a new, more strategic lane-based combat system which is detailed more thoroughly here.
