The short answer
Fool King's public demo is available on Steam, while Early Access is scheduled for November 16. The store describes a planned launch roster of 12 units across three factions and four gods. That statement is not a verified list of what your demo save has unlocked.
Before you start
- Use Fool King by Loot Donkey, Steam app 4380860. A different game is called The Fool King.
Match a guide to the build you are playing
The September 11 patch temporarily makes the first round use generated opponents while matchmaking is improved. The game's broader asynchronous-player premise should not be used to claim that every demo battle is a snapshot of a real player's army.
| Advice | Check before applying it |
|---|---|
| Unit statistics | Demo patch date and current tooltip |
| Faction or god recommendation | Whether it is available in your run/save |
| Opening opponent strategy | Generated or player-created opponent context |
| Unlock guide | An actual unlock condition, not the planned roster |

Save the next unlock as a question until its condition is known
The developer overview describes runs and defeats contributing to new units, gods, cosmetics and strategies. It does not provide a full threshold table. Save the unlock text shown in your game and the event that completes it rather than borrowing an Early Access promise as a demo walkthrough.
For a useful next run, keep the unit/formation problem from the other guides beside your progression goal. This edition will add a verified unlock route when an accessible build or official procedure establishes the requirement and result.
