From the moment "Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" was first announced, fans and viewers were quick to voice their concerns about its visual quality, with many comparing it unfavorably to PlayStation 3 era games or typical mobile titles. Despite these initial criticisms, a segment of the community remained hopeful, eager for a compelling game set in the iconic "Game of Thrones" universe, especially given the scarcity of quality adaptations from the series.
The release of the demo during Steam Next Fest has, however, put an end to any lingering optimism. Players who tried the demo have been overwhelmingly critical, pointing out numerous flaws including outdated combat mechanics, subpar graphics, and design choices that seem more suited to mobile gaming. Many have gone as far as to label "Kingsroad" as nothing more than a mobile game ported to PC, while others feel it resembles a game from a decade ago.
Despite the predominantly negative feedback, the demo's page on Steam also features some positive reviews. These comments, often phrased similarly with sentiments like "I really enjoyed the demo, looking forward to the full release," have sparked speculation. It's unclear whether these are the work of bots or the same hopeful fans who still believe in the potential for a successful launch.
"Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" is set to be released on both PC via Steam and mobile devices, though an exact release date has yet to be announced.
