Even before its official announcement, many observers criticized "Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" for its dated visuals, likening it to a PlayStation 3-era licensed title or a typical mobile game. Despite this initial negativity, some remained optimistic, particularly given the relative scarcity of compelling games based on the popular franchise.
Now, thanks to the Steam Next Fest demo, the verdict is in: "Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" is undeniably underwhelming.
Players have largely panned the game across the board, citing outdated combat mechanics, poor graphics, and numerous design choices that strongly suggest a mobile game origin. Many reviewers even label it a simple port, though even if not a direct port, its visual style and overall presentation strongly evoke a game released around 2010.
While some positive reviews appear on the Steam demo page – often echoing sentiments like, "I really enjoyed the demo, looking forward to the full release" – their authenticity is questionable. Whether these are automated reviews or simply the persistent optimism of earlier supporters remains unclear.
"Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" is slated for release on PC (Steam) and mobile devices, though a firm release date has yet to be announced.
