The Game:
Greetings Human and welcome to FORCED SHOWDOWN: "The only show in the galaxy with lives on the line!" Pick one of the 4 contestants from across the FORCED universe - each a master of their own style of combat - and try to become a superstar of my show, as you battle through worlds of monstrous enemies and face off against epic arena bosses. You may die horribly and repeatedly, but think of your fans and smile for the cameras! In my show, you will unlock cards that let you boost your stats and upgrade your abilities differently each battle. Use clever deckbuilding and show off your epic combos! In the end though, it's all up to your own action skills, on the arena floor, to carry you through both times of luck and misfortune.
What others are saying about Forced Showdown:
"I love this game! I have played many hours of The Binding of Isaac, Terraria, Ziggarut, Rouge Legacy, Risk of Rain and other rouge-likes you probably havent heard of. I have to say this game is among my favorites and its brand new." - Mîchæl
"I wish I knew how to eloquently express how excellent this game is. It just taps so many buttons for me with the nicely balanced rogue-like, the achievable-yet-challenging unlockables, the genuinely interesting deckbuilding, and satisfying combat." - John
"It plays like I always felt ARPGs and MOBAs should - skillshots, accuracy, timing and evasion; button mashing and brute-force will get you nowhere in this game." - Radical "Venom" Max
The combat is skill based and offers on the fly strategy solving skills. It has a great difficulty curve that makes me want to hone my skills to become better as time goes. The card system takes some beats from Hearthstone in how decks are created. Playing cards and combos at the start of each round offers a great way to shake up the rounds." - It's High Noon
"There are tons of cards to collect that, besides all the different characters, companions, monsters, arenas, modifiers and whatnot, add to the enormous variety that makes every playthrough feel completely fresh." - Nachtfischer
"Extremely fun game with constant action and virtually limitless replayability. Every new battle you start is different, there are endless possibilities of deck building with all 4 characters." - Jyren

You can see Steam community reviews of Forced Showdown HERE, and you can see some videos of game play HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE (French) and HERE (Spanish).
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the developer Warfare Studiosfor giving away 50 keys for this Adventure RPG and also to the game giveaway team, as always, for securing other ways to get free games, in this case a Steam key.
Useful Information not related to today's game giveaway:
To reduce the length of this review I've moved all the content that's usually posted under this title to the forums. I will be updating it regularity, though, due to family bereavements over the last week, I've not done so yet. You can see the Useful information thread HERE
You can play The Elder Scrolls totally free until the 18th April. Follow the link above to the forums for more details and a link to the Bethesda web site.
This looks like a cool game and it's done by the same ppl that made Minion Masters.
Good luck everyone. I never enter these here so someone else can win it.

Jenny Lane, Check the email you signed in with. The key should have been sent to that email. I've not entered it as I already have this game plus I'm away from home, so the giveaway wouldn't recognise my IP address. don't want to mess my credentials up. The giveaway team have made it almost impossible for community members to farm keys by restricting the email, FB account Twitter etc. Try using a second one and it will block the attempt to get a key from the new credentials. Make sure you check the original email you used a sthat is the one the giveaway team have on record.

Jenny Lane, Forgive Rabbit, he has a lot on his mind.
This offer is one of the so-called "tombola's" and it will run for an additional 6 days after which 50 lucky winners will be chosen that get a key. The more entries you have, the bigger the chance to win obviously. Get back each day to earn a few extra entries. Once the time is up it will take a few hours before the list with winners is posted in the same place as where the tasks are listed now and winners will find an email with a key for the game in their email. Add that key to your Steam Client using the "add a game-->Activate a product on Steam" option bottom left of the client
Mark, there's no winning involved. This is a global giveaway, which means everyone who completes the tasks will get a key, that is until all the keys have been given away. So long as you complete the tasks, you should get a key, which will be sent to the email you originally signed in with. Using a different email will still allow you to enter, but keys will always be sent to the original email you signed in with when you first signed in, whenever that was. The giveaway team have that on record. This is a security measure to stop community members from applying for multiple keys.

Whiterabbit-uk,
Apparently there's 50 keys to be "won" and (right now) 9226 total entries... even with (let's say) ~20 entries per person, this means there's a lot more people than keys. If it's a first-come-first-served basis, as you seem to imply, then that would mean that by now all keys have already been assigned, and the remainder of this giveaway is just misleading, as anyone who enters now, stands zero chance of getting any keys.
Dear Anonymous,
That is correct, there are 50 keys to be won, however the winners are picked randomly after the end of the giveaway (on 2017-04-17). The more entries you have, the more chances you have to find yourself among the winners.

Always yours,

Thanks for the clarification. So Whiterabbit-uk was wrong, and there definitely IS "winning" involved. So this isn't a giveaway, it's more like a lottery...
Anonymous, At the time of writing (while I was away from home), I though this was a global giveaway. Arrived home to find there were only 50 keys available. Can't be right all the time. I still maintain that this is a giveaway, at least to those that get a key. :)

I'm logged in on Twitter as it shows my profile and name there, however, it will not authenticate me. I have never had this problem before in any giveaway entries. Is it something on Twitter's end temporarily or did the coding change on GAOTD's end?

Robert Marquardt, Hi Robert, I've also had this problem. There are a couple of things you could try, both of which worked for me on different occasions. Try using a different browser, for example I usually use Waterfox, but it won;t let me use FB or Twitter, so I go to Internet Explorer, but that one sometimes says there's an error so i then try Chrome. Also I turn off all, security temporarily as one of them blocks the Twitter authentication. Once I did the above I was able to complete all tasks. I'm not actually applying for a key for this game because I already have the game (purchased it on release), plus I'm using my sisters network at the moment as I'm still away from home.
Also Nibo posted the following in reply to Heavy Water ...........................since few weeks GOTD has problems with twitter if you are logged in with facebook. This works for me: Logout here from facebook and login with twitter.
Was unable to authorize Twitter and keep getting a This Site says error when I share on Facebook. Was able to share, but the 3 entries are not being added.
I'll try and post a short review with images this afternoon once I arrive home. Been away since Thursday.
