Game of Thrones: Kingsroad Demo Horrifies Players

Mar 13,25

Even at its initial reveal, many observers deemed "Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" visually underwhelming, resembling a PlayStation 3-era licensed title or a typical mobile game. However, some remained optimistic, particularly given the scarcity of compelling games based on the popular franchise.

Now, thanks to the Steam Next Fest demo, the debate is settled: "Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" is undeniably poor.

Players have criticized nearly every aspect, from the outdated combat mechanics and graphics to questionable design choices strongly reminiscent of mobile gaming. Many consider it a simple port of a mobile game, and even if that's not the case, its visuals are firmly stuck in 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 they represent genuine optimism or automated feedback remains unclear.

"Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" is slated for release on PC (Steam) and mobile devices, though a precise release date is yet to be announced.
