From the moment "Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" was first announced, it faced a wave of criticism, with many viewers comparing its visuals unfavorably to PlayStation 3 era games or typical mobile titles. Despite this, a segment of the audience remained hopeful, eager for a successful adaptation of the beloved series into a compelling game.
The release of the demo during the Steam Next Fest event has decisively settled the ongoing debates. Players overwhelmingly agree that "Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" falls short of expectations, with widespread criticism focusing on its outdated combat mechanics, graphics, and design elements that seem more suited to mobile gaming. Many have gone as far as to label it a simple port from a mobile game to PC, while others feel it resembles games from as far back as 2010.
Interestingly, the demo's page on Steam also hosts positive reviews, often phrased similarly, such as "I really enjoyed the demo, looking forward to the full release." It remains unclear whether these comments come from genuine optimists or automated bots.
"Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" is set to launch on both PC via Steam and mobile devices, though an exact release date has yet to be announced.
