Just King
An apology to our localization community
We must reiterate that the idea that our localization community has been anything but professional is deeply wrong. What we’ve seen are readily available, quick, and incredibly well-organized individuals that not only took it upon themselves to make the game playable in their languages, but also had the care to ask for the context of every joke and reference and even improve and correct the text that we have written in the English version of the game.
Our partnership with IndieArk comes firstly for their publishing capabilities and support in China, Korea, and Japan. IndieArk’s secondary role is to provide localization for new content and necessary corrections, such as reworked content.
We will not discard the work already done by the community.
The plan going forward is for IndieArk to provide us with an initial translation (currently done by Google Translate/Deepl) and then open this for community feedback and adjustments. We will keep using Localizor and Discord as the direct bridges between the localization community and us, we believe this is the best way to improve the game.
Just King is working with IndieArk!
This will greatly improve the experience for Asian players:
- Improved translations by native speakers
- Building a community for the Asian players
- Answers to your questions & support
We welcome you to join our DISCORD！
Patch 0.3.5 - Early Access
The King announces new Patch Notes!
Our next hero is the Slayer! This veteran shock trooper from the Golden Harpy army will turn the tides of battle and guarantee victory for the King! Her unique weapon works as a boomerang that damages enemies and returns towards her, if you catch it, its cooldown is reset! So remeber: the cannonical way to play her is to *not* miss the catches, if you are missing catches you are doing it wrong, don't do that, you are ruining the organic story telling here, she is supposed to be skillful, ok? Good.
Heroes
*NEW* Slayer
[Unlocked by beating the Good Troublemaker achievement (win with 4 Frenzy heroes)]
Skillful (remember) ranged fighter that makes enemy more vulnerable
-Throws a revolving axe that deals damage to enemies in a line and then returns
-Catching the axe resets the skill's cooldown
-Damage units have their armor reduced for a short duration
-Level 3: Catching axes 3 times in a row makes you throw 2 smaller additional axes
Berserker
Reworked to better scale in the late game
-Melee attack now reduces its base cooldown to 0.5s from 1.5s while Enraged
-Enrage:
- Duration (6/8/10) -> 8 seconds
- Heal 5 -> (5/7.5/10)
- Haste 200% -> 0%
- Movement speed 0% -> 30%
- Cooldown now scales with Haste, starts at the end of the transformation
-Bloodboil:
- Damage 5 -> 5 to 10 based on how low your hp is
- Cooldown resets when Enraged
Knight
-Visual adjustment, he has a bit more of armor
-Armor 2 -> 3, literally!
Synergies
Frenzy
-Damage per stack (20/30)% -> (10/15)%
-Movement speed per stack (10/15)% -> (6/8)%
-Start decay delay 5 -> 8
-Start decay rate 1 -> 1.5
Items

-Golden Harpy Brooch (Archer interaction item) status restriction right -> left
Systems
New run modifier: No roll
Now you can choose to disable the roll button on your runs for added difficulty!
Heal status
Now the healing status will fully stack between different entities
If a Paladin with (50% heal) heals a Knight with (50% heal), the healing increases by 100%. If the same Paladin heals himself, the healing is increased by 50%.
Minor Adjustments
-Champ now resets cooldowns when the stamina recharges to avoid weird pauses between slow and fast punches
-Updated many tooltips in Localizor to the new variables system
-Updated Red Vulture's Mask's description to match the new effect (Thanks Minako o/)
Bugs
-Cloned Kings on zone 4 no longer become perfect copies during Christmas
Happy Chinese New Year!
As you may know, the year of Rabbit is around the corner! Best regards and wishes to everyone for the new year ahead!
Looking back on the past year, we'd like to thank all of our players for supporting “Just King”. We're working hard now on new content hoping to deliver you the experience as best as we can. Stay tuned!

Localization Variables
We have made a big internal overhaul of how we handle variables in tooltip text, this shouldn't impact anyone playing the game directly (unless there are bugs, tell us!), but should make things easier to patch.

Dev Message
Hey fellas, we have decided to release small content patches with new heroes as we move forward. We are doing this to keep the game going while we work on the new zone as it will take some time until it is finished. This is a big commitment as the third heroes were not on our original plan, but we’ve always seen this suggestion coming up and decided to pull the trigger on it. We don’t know if all third heroes will be ready on full release, but we will continue adding them even after Early Access.
