Initial reactions to "Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" were mixed. Many dismissed it as visually dated, resembling a PS3-era licensed title or a mobile game. However, some remained hopeful, citing the lack of compelling "Game of Thrones" games as a potential saving grace.
The Steam Next Fest demo definitively settled the debate. The game proved overwhelmingly disappointing. Critics slammed its outdated combat, graphics, and overall design, strongly suggesting a mobile port. Even if not a direct port, the game's visuals strongly evoke early 2010s game design.
While some positive Steam reviews exist, their similarity ("I really enjoyed the demo, looking forward to the full release") raises questions about their authenticity. Are they bots, or are they the same optimists clinging to hope for a surprisingly good final product? The answer remains unclear.
"Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" is slated for release on PC (Steam) and mobile platforms, though a firm release date is yet to be announced.
