"Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" Demo Horrifies Players

From the moment "Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" was announced, it faced a wave of criticism for its visuals that seemed reminiscent of outdated PlayStation 3 titles or typical mobile games. Yet, amidst the skepticism, there were hopeful fans who clung to the possibility of a successful adaptation, given the dearth of engaging games inspired by the iconic series.

The recent demo release during Steam Next Fest has definitively settled the debate—the consensus is that "Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" is a disappointment. Players have lambasted the game for its antiquated combat mechanics, lackluster graphics, and design choices that scream mobile gaming. Some have gone as far as to label "Kingsroad" as nothing more than a mobile game ported to PC. Even if that isn't the case, the game's aesthetics and gameplay feel like they belong to the early 2010s.

Despite the overwhelmingly negative feedback, the demo's Steam page does feature some positive comments. Phrases like "I really enjoyed the demo, looking forward to the full release" appear frequently. Whether these sentiments come from bots or the same optimists who initially held out hope for a quality release is unclear.

"Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" is slated for release on PC via Steam and on mobile devices, though an exact release date remains undisclosed.
