For The King 2 Is Struggling With Negative Reviews Despite A Successful Launch
For The King 2’s Steam reviews have been divisive.
Luckily, there are ways to revive characters who have died in battle, albeit limited. Just likethe original, there are three main ways players can hit a reset button. Here is the breakdown.
For The King 2
Reviving Using Hearts
Before starting your adventure in a new campaign, you’ll be asked toselect the difficultyand choose your loadout. One of the aspects that needs to be decided at this point is the number of hearts you start with, indicated by the setting “Life Pool.” Hearts are essentially free lives that canrevive a dead party member.
Selecting difficulty tiers automatically adjusts how many hearts you have at the start of a campaign.Apprentice defaults to 6 hearts, Journeyman to 4, and Master to 0. You cancustomize the number of heartsyou start out with at any difficulty. The most you’re able to get at the loadout screen is10 hearts. Don’t be afraid to give yourself more hearts if you’re having trouble beating the game, especially before unlocking better starting gear at the Lore Store.
If one of your characters dies during combat for any reason, you canrevive them by performing the bonus action: Revive Allyusing any of your other characters. If all characters die, that run ends. Reviving an ally consumers one turn.
In The Overworld
If one of your characters dies in combat and you don’t revive them there, you’ll get another chance to revive them after you leave combat.Bring one of your existing characters to the hex with the dead one. This will consume one heart.
A dead character can be identified as a tombstone on a particular hex. you’re able to find them by clicking on their character portrait in the bottom right.
Reviving Using Sanctums
Sanctums are large structures spread across the map that provide incredibly useful buffs to characters who trigger them. Getting a Sanctum buff on a character means that whenever that character falls in battle, they willrevive right then and there without prompting. However, in doing so, they will also lose all buffs they gained from the Sanctum, effectively weakening them until they find another Sanctum.Free revive from a sanctum cannot be transferred to another character.
Reviving Using XP
If you’replaying co-opand one of your characters dies, you canexpend XP to revive them in a nearby town. The XP cost rises with time, and only the player whose character dies is the one who can choose to make that decision. Of course, you can also choose to revive them in any of the other methods mentioned above as well.
