From the moment "Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" was first announced, it faced a wave of criticism for its visual quality, often compared to outdated PlayStation 3 games or typical mobile titles. Despite this, a segment of the audience remained hopeful, eager for a compelling game set in the iconic "Game of Thrones" universe, which has seen few successful adaptations.
The recent demo release during Steam Next Fest has seemingly settled the debate—the consensus is that "Kingsroad" falls short of expectations. Players have lambasted the game for its antiquated combat system, subpar graphics, and design elements that scream mobile gaming origins. Many have gone as far as to label it a direct port from a mobile platform to PC, though even if that's not the case, the game's aesthetics and mechanics appear to belong to the early 2010s.
Interestingly, amidst the sea of negative feedback on the demo's Steam page, there are also positive reviews. These comments often share a similar sentiment, such as "I really enjoyed the demo, looking forward to the full release." It remains unclear whether these are genuine sentiments from optimistic fans or automated bot responses.
"Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" is slated for release on both PC via Steam and mobile devices, though an exact release date has yet to be announced.
