"Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" Demo Horrifies Players

From the moment "Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" was first announced, many fans expressed disappointment, likening its visuals to those of a PlayStation 3-era licensed game or a typical mobile title. Despite this, there were hopeful fans who believed it could still turn out well, given the scarcity of engaging games based on the beloved series.

The recent Steam Next Fest event provided a demo of "Game of Thrones: Kingsroad," which has seemingly settled the debate once and for all—the game has been widely panned. Players have lambasted "Kingsroad" for its outdated combat mechanics, subpar graphics, and design choices that scream mobile gaming. Some have even suggested that it's merely a mobile game ported to PC. Regardless of whether this is true, "Kingsroad" feels like a relic from 2010.

Despite the overwhelmingly negative feedback, the demo's Steam page does feature some positive reviews. These comments often follow a similar pattern, such as "I really enjoyed the demo, looking forward to the full release." It's unclear whether these are genuine sentiments from optimistic fans or the work of bots.

"Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" is set to launch on PC via Steam and on mobile devices, though an exact release date has yet to be announced.
