From the moment "Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" was first announced, many viewers were quick to criticize its appearance, likening it to a relic from the PlayStation 3 era or a typical mobile game. Despite this initial backlash, a segment of the audience remained hopeful, eager for a compelling game set in the world of the renowned series, given the scarcity of quality adaptations.
The recent demo release during Steam Next Fest has decisively settled the ongoing debate—the consensus is clear: "Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" falls short of expectations. Players who tried the demo have been vocal about its shortcomings, pointing out outdated combat mechanics, subpar graphics, and design elements that seem better suited for mobile platforms. Some have even gone so far as to label it a straightforward port of a mobile game to PC, while others feel it resembles a game from as far back as 2010.
Despite the widespread criticism, the demo's page on Steam also hosts positive feedback. Comments such as "I really enjoyed the demo, looking forward to the full release" appear frequently. Whether these sentiments come from automated bots or the same hopeful fans who anticipated a successful launch is still up for debate.
"Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" is set to launch on both PC (via Steam) and mobile devices, though an exact release date has yet to be announced.
