Even from the initial announcement, many viewers were quick to criticize the visual quality of "Game of Thrones: Kingsroad," likening it to a relic from the PlayStation 3 era or a typical mobile game. However, there was a faction of optimists who held out hope for a successful outcome, especially given the dearth of compelling games based on the iconic series.
With the demo for "Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" now available as part of the Steam Next Fest event, the debates have been decisively settled—the game has been widely panned. Players have lambasted "Kingsroad" across the board, citing its outdated combat mechanics, graphics, and design choices that scream mobile gaming. Some have gone so far as to label it a direct port of a mobile game to PC, while others argue that, even if it's not a port, it feels like a game stuck in 2010.
Despite the overwhelmingly negative feedback, the demo's Steam page does feature some positive reviews. These comments often follow a similar pattern, with phrases like "I really enjoyed the demo, looking forward to the full release." It's unclear whether these are the work of bots or the same hopeful fans who continue to believe in a quality release.
"Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" is slated for release on PC via Steam and on mobile devices, though an exact release date has yet to be announced.
