OK, so here’s the bad part — you’re now in the possession of the toughest fantasy gladiator school of them all, and you’ve been condemned to fight to the death as you strive to earn your freedom. The bright side? You’ve got three fellow prisoners to help you out. Forced is a co-operative experience unlike any other, with all manner of challenges to keep you and your friends on your toes. Gamepedia and the game’s developer, BetaDwarf, are pleased to announce the Official Forced Wiki.
In Forced, you and three other players can team up to face trials unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. As you set out on your quest, you’re joined by Balfus, a spirit mentor who will guide you through the various challenges thrown at you.
Players are tasked with choosing from a selection of classes with different strengths and weaknesses. Working through the game’s campaign, you’ll find that different skills and abilities can be called upon from one moment to the next.
For instance, a quick, agile character might be particularly useful when you’re tasked with solving a puzzle and you need to run around the level working out what needs to happen. However, a subsequent combat encounter might be easier to tackle if you’re playing as a character that can deal lots of damage.
When you’re playing with three friends, amassing a broad range of abilities is important. That said, the real priority is making sure that you can work together in the heat of the moment — however you choose to communicate and co-ordinate, the only path to success is getting everyone on the same page.

Forced is available now for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Steam. For more information, check out the game’s official website — and for the inside track on how to win your freedom, head straight to the Official Forced Wiki.
