When "Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" was first announced, it immediately drew mixed reactions from fans. Many were quick to criticize its visuals, likening them to outdated PlayStation 3 games or typical mobile titles. Despite this, a hopeful group of fans remained optimistic, eager for a quality game set in the beloved "Game of Thrones" universe, especially given the scarcity of engaging games based on the series.
The release of the demo during Steam Next Fest has seemingly settled the debate, with the consensus being overwhelmingly negative. Players have lambasted "Kingsroad" for its dated combat mechanics, subpar graphics, and design choices that scream mobile gaming. Some have even gone as far as to call it a direct port from a mobile game to PC, while others feel it resembles a game from a decade ago.
Despite the harsh criticism, the demo's Steam page does feature some positive feedback. Comments like "I really enjoyed the demo, looking forward to the full release" have surfaced, though their authenticity is questioned. It's unclear whether these are genuine sentiments from hopeful fans or the work of 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.
