Even before its official announcement, many observers criticized "Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" for its dated visuals, likening it to a PlayStation 3-era licensed game or a typical mobile title. Despite the initial negativity, some remained optimistic, hoping it would defy expectations, especially given the relative scarcity of high-quality games based on the popular series.
The recent Steam Next Fest demo has settled the debate. The game is, unfortunately, as bad as many feared.
Players have largely condemned "Kingsroad" across the board, citing outdated combat mechanics, poor graphics, and numerous design choices that strongly suggest a mobile game origin.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 that's not entirely accurate, the game's overall presentation strongly resembles a title from 2010.
While some positive reviews exist on the Steam demo page—often expressing generic enthusiasm 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 the initial believers 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.
