Even before its official announcement, many viewers criticized Game of Thrones: Kingsroad's visuals, deeming them outdated—reminiscent of a PlayStation 3-era licensed title or a typical mobile game. Despite the initial negativity, some remained optimistic, particularly given the scarcity of compelling Game of Thrones games.
Now, thanks to the Steam Next Fest demo, the debate is settled: Game of Thrones: Kingsroad is underwhelming.
Players have largely panned the game, citing outdated combat mechanics, graphics, and numerous design choices indicative of mobile game development. Many consider it a simple port of a mobile game, though even if not, its visuals and gameplay feel distinctly 2010-era.
While some positive Steam reviews exist—often echoing sentiments like, "I really enjoyed the demo, looking forward to the full release"—their authenticity is questionable. Whether they represent genuine enthusiasm or automated feedback remains unclear.
Game of Thrones: Kingsroad is slated for release on PC (Steam) and mobile devices, though a firm release date is yet to be announced.
