Even during the initial announcement, many viewers noted that "Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" looked terrible—like a relic from the PlayStation 3 era or a typical mobile game. However, optimists remained hopeful for a good outcome, especially since there haven’t been many engaging games based on the iconic series.
Now, with the demo for "Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" available during the Steam Next Fest event, the debates have concluded—the game has been universally panned.
Players who tried the demo criticized "Kingsroad" on nearly every front: outdated combat mechanics, substandard graphics, and various design choices that scream mobile gaming. Some have even suggested that the new "Game of Thrones" title is simply a mobile game ported to PC. Even if that's not the case, "Kingsroad" feels like a game straight out of 2010.
Despite the overwhelmingly negative feedback, there are positive reviews scattered among the comments on the demo’s Steam page. These reviews often share a similar sentiment—"I really enjoyed the demo, looking forward to the full release." Whether these are generated by bots or penned by the same optimists who still believe in a quality release remains unclear.
"Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" is set to launch on PC (via Steam) and mobile devices, though an exact release date has yet to be announced.
