At 11:26 , the ambush mechanic is not meant to give you the first attack, but to isolate the enemy in combat. If there are other foes in adjacent hexes, they wouldn't join the battle. I may be wrong, but that's how I believe it works.
It actually gives you first attack automatically AND isolate the enemy. That's why when you're ambushed they'll always attack first (provided you don't have counterattack active). An ambush is just the RPG version of sneak attack.
having you talk about how difficult the game is makes me proud im still going, lvl 8 in my very first campaign and some of my chas died but i could revive them and overall its going good and that at difficulty lvl normal :3
Bro, I think Im going to get it but I'm worried I won't be "gud" enough to play it haha. Is easy mode viable for someone that's not particularly good at rouge likes?
@@randalthor6872 i think the game is lovely and fun and easy mode is very very easy i would even recommend normal, even for beginners x3 i think the game is worth it, but if you have doubts, just put it on your wishlist and wait for a sale :3
You'd think that if the Queen was sending people adventuring to save the world, that they'd be giving out adventuring equipment for reduced prices, or even free.
This looks like Unity engine, I like. Love how the enemy death animation has bones and triangle petals for blood, scratches many gamer itches for me too! Art style and music's great.
Damned Chaos Cultists! This does seem like a really cool little game! I agree with that sentiment, that it always feels more satisfying when your character is just any other normal citizen. Something about turning the odds and killing the evil wizard as a poor peasant with a pitchfork feels so much more rewarding then being a brave knight who can cleave through challenges with ease. It's the same reason why I find the beginning of M&B to be the most satisfying time. Hunting looters with nothing but a flimsy shield and a pitchfork, dodging real bandits...I never choose the 'Noble' start for that same reason. Just the first thing I could think of that gave me that feeling, in case anyone was wondering why I went with M&B as my example, haha.
At 19:45 you mention that you can't pass gold. That is not the case. If you click on the gold icon on the character (either at the bottom or in the inventory menu) you can pass gold to the other characters. You have to be either in a hex next to them or on the same hex. If you go to the Inventory Menu and click over to the other characters, you can also force a "gold give" from them as well, but you can only give gold from the active toons bottom display.
Very nice video, and nice game... your voice is very clear for people (like me) with other mother language and sometimes we don't understand on american youtubers when they speak too fast and with many slangs. New sub
The art style of this game is a lot more impressive than I at first thought it would be judging from the screenshots on Steam. The story has good depth as well. Looking forward to watching this series.
19:42 "you can't pass gold in between each other". Ehm, you can? I seem to remember you can pass gold when you're on the same hex or maybe even adjacent one. Try it, I don't have the game running here now, so can't check.
as it is for free yes but also i been following splatter cat now for about 6months and i like his game plays and what a better way to find out if i want to waste space on my computer then to see what he thinks of the game
Splat you defenitly deserve more credit for your content! Totally love it. I just wish I had more time to watch your streams though! Keep up the great work.
I know I'm late but I just bought "For the King" today and if it wasn't for you I probably wouldn't have purchased it and would have missed out on this great game, I love it and your comparison with "Fantasy Flights Arkham Horror" is spot on and the reason I had to try it out. Thank You
I have this Case of Mead in my inventory that was part of a quest...but i went back to the towns and none of them completed the quest. I guess it must of expired but the item doesn't disappear.... Anyway to remove the item from my inventory ? or is it a bug.
Lol I have just passed the dungeon on normal difficulty, bought the game on your recommendation and did it on my first try 😄 Even picked scholar instead of Minstrel! 😄 Anyway great video, I have enjoyed listening to your English, understood everything with no problem ☺️
Thanks SplatterCat i tried this game some time ago, but didnt really understand the gameplay, so ended up abandoning it after 1 silly half arsed attempt. Saw your lets play. took another attempt and got my balls kicked in act 2. Took one more attempt and completed it! on easy tough but man it was nice :) gonna try on normal another day :) thanks for the videos =)
I have one gripe with the game, and that's pretty much the time-constraint of the quests versus the pace of leveling. Of course I pretty much cleared the first real quest long overdue and ran around with excess Chaos and made it through fine, but it still feels a little tight. Especially so when the different dungeons are so spread out.
Keep it up Splat. Did not enjoy Sierra Leone, it kind of lost me pretty early. Looking forward to watching your oxygen not included stream on the commute back home...and my sons tball practice...don't tell my wife.
What a beautiful little game! I love the overall artstyle and the gameplay looks good so far, too. I wonder how fights will play out later on, when they get more drawn out and longer.
Hi splat I remember when I was really sick will malaria I watched you play stranded deep I just really like your channel please keep it up thanks again
Maybe in the other Parts you found out already, but for others that play this Game and only watch this Part (for whatever reason) Ambushing actually doesnt give you the first turn, it Isolates the Enemy which basically means, you will only fight against that one Enemy, as far as i understand. So let's say the enemy you want to attack would join with another one , this wouldnt happen, only Your group (as far as they're in the Attack Square) will attack, and the one you want to attack. And i'm deeply sorry for me explaining so bad :D
Got this from epic games and I played it for days. The first quest took me days to beat, and then after that I beat the winter quest on my first try. The game was a bit tricky at first..
you recommend this in the current early access phase? is that a cat in ceramite plating? ha ha (space marine armour for the non initiated) Is this like Endless Legend or just similar in the fact that they are both on the 4 x style grid?
I'am not agree with you. I thing that missing in turn-based combat is not pointless because the gameplay become more challenging when you have to improve yout stats to not miss your attacks or improve your defenses to evade the attacks. Nice video btw. Cheers.
At 11:26 , the ambush mechanic is not meant to give you the first attack, but to isolate the enemy in combat. If there are other foes in adjacent hexes, they wouldn't join the battle. I may be wrong, but that's how I believe it works.
not completely wrong, but also the turns are much more favorable to the heroes when you successfully commence an ambush.
@miki TB. Thank you for pointing that out.
That’s how I think it works.
It actually gives you first attack automatically AND isolate the enemy. That's why when you're ambushed they'll always attack first (provided you don't have counterattack active). An ambush is just the RPG version of sneak attack.

that sounds really nerdy
Really? You just replied to a reply that was a year ago.
lol
@@thy_ful5727 how does it sound nerdy when ur on a video for a "nerdy" game haha what did you expect
Who else is here because epic had made it free?
I actually am.
as it is for free yes but also i been following splatter cat now for about 6months and i like his game plays and what a better way to find out if i want to waste space on my computer then to see what he thinks of the game
Oh my god he's talking about me
me
so true lol
Took me few days to finally start watching this series and I must admit you convinced me to buy a new game again.
Thanks Splatt :)
All hail Splats, King of Indie!
Splat you defenitly deserve more credit for your content! Totally love it. I just wish I had more time to watch your streams though! Keep up the great work.
This looks like a cool game, looking forward to seeing more.
Did anyone else picture a badass montage as the heroes of old donned their gear?
Great start to a series looking forward to this one!
I hardly ever comment on youtube video's but I would rather keep an amazing content creator like Splattercat on here. Keep up the great work spatt!!!
I know I'm late but I just bought "For the King" today and if it wasn't for you I probably wouldn't have purchased it and would have missed out on this great game, I love it and your comparison with "Fantasy Flights Arkham Horror" is spot on and the reason I had to try it out. Thank You
Yay more roguelikes!

Dude you become one of my new favorite youtuber, been watchin this game and life is feudal great videos!
Personally I think misses should be on par with crits in games and neither should be terribly prevalent
The best kind of hero is the kind that doesn't have to be
Game starts 6:38 if you, like me, aren't as interested in the class creation and such
I came because of domina and stayed cause ur a good gamer
This is a fun little game. Got a nice style to it as well. Feed me more!
Free next week on Epic brought me here - anyone else?
i am here my boy
yep
why is this a free game then?
@@Revanthewicked it will be on the epic games store in two days
Dog you are a life saver, I would have been so mad if I bought this knowing it was free tomorrow!
Hi Splatt, commenting to help you but I just wanted to say you're my favorite youtuber. Keep making awesome vids!
art style is gorgeous! looks like good fun!
Good job Splatt
Good game please continue playing this
epic video splatt
Lol I have just passed the dungeon on normal difficulty, bought the game on your recommendation and did it on my first try 😄 Even picked scholar instead of Minstrel! 😄 Anyway great video, I have enjoyed listening to your English, understood everything with no problem ☺️
These games keep reminding me of Battle Brothers. I think I have a problem.
great video, game looks awesome excited to see future episodes! :D
I basicly knew this game was good just by seeing the art style ... this is a great game no joke above a lot of AAA games
This looks great.
Looks fun!
Game looks great, thanks Splatt
Splattercat is awesome! Sing me a sooong, o splatter the falsetto mastah.. Take me aloooong, your gaming adventures always are blastah! :D
I love your commentary Splat
Anyone else instantly fast forward the video when they saw that wall of text?
Thanks SplatterCat
i tried this game some time ago, but didnt really understand the gameplay, so ended up abandoning it after 1 silly half arsed attempt.
Saw your lets play.
took another attempt and got my balls kicked in act 2.
Took one more attempt and completed it!
on easy tough but man it was nice :)
gonna try on normal another day :)
thanks for the videos =)
Great video Splatt, I'm looking forward to more For the King!
I agree this is very boardgamey. I like that. And the graphics are indeed simple but enjoyable. Also - the music sounds wonderful!
WOOO, I'm helping SplatterCat! Anyways, great video splatt, this seems to be right up your alley if I do say so myself.
Keep helping SPLAT
i can tell you guys are bros because you call him splat
Art style is kinda fun.
Reading the intro, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have been able to pronounce Fahrul every time. It would have ended up as Hyrule at least once.
Looks cool!
so wow a d&d style game done so well
Wow, thanks for another good game Splat:D
Really going to play it after launch
Literally the moment he said let's start a ad appeared in my face
this game is not bad i would like to see more

I met a super dodgy hunter once. He offered me a ride. I said no and ran away.

Thanks for the video Splatt! I find it odd that she didn't ask any ally or neighboring countries for aid. I mean it concerns the world after all.
This game looks awesome, I hope you can make it a long running series.
play more of this spatt
Solid video, thanks for it.
Keep doing your thing!
Thanks for showing, I like it so far.
I believe the focus system is what makes me really enjoy dealing with the difficulty of this game.
Keep it up Splat. Did not enjoy Sierra Leone, it kind of lost me pretty early. Looking forward to watching your oxygen not included stream on the commute back home...and my sons tball practice...don't tell my wife.

somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me i ain't the sharpest tool on the shed
Thanks for a great video!!!
This seems like a good game to play and relax to.
When you already know Splatter is fucked because that Camp is gonna bring the Golem in with them.
pretty cool game keep playing it plz !
I Really like the look and feel of this game I think I'm going to go out on UA-cam and look for more people to watch.
Looking forward to this
This is pretty cool, do those lore books unlock just classes or do they unlock new items each playthrough as well?
Hi splat I remember when I was really sick will malaria I watched you play stranded deep I just really like your channel please keep it up thanks again
awsome game keep up the awsome work.
love it. please continue

i remember when this franchise began on kongregate. it was awesome.
If the missing wizard is behind it all, I will sigh heavily.
More!! :D I really enjoyed this gameplay!
I would like to watch more of this or a full twitch stream if possible
nice video, really like your commentary, keep it up
i kept reading the name of the hunter as lemonade
This is a cool game. Not much for gambling, but I like a lot of the parts.
I just got this game on my Xbox. It’s so amazing.
I'm gonna get it on my switch lol
Keep up the good work
This would be a chill game to feature on Twitch....Maybe a Wife Stream....Good social time....Winston cam...etc.
I love the art please play more
