Players are horrified by the demo of \"Game of Thrones: Kingsroad\"

Even during the initial announcement, many viewers were quick to point out that "Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" seemed underwhelming, reminiscent of a PlayStation 3-era licensed game or a typical mobile title. However, a hopeful group of fans remained optimistic, eager for a quality game set in the world of the iconic series, especially given the scarcity of engaging "Game of Thrones" games.

The recent demo release for "Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" during the Steam Next Fest event has definitively settled the debate—the game has been met with overwhelmingly negative feedback. Players have lambasted "Kingsroad" for its dated combat mechanics, subpar graphics, and various design choices that smack of a mobile game experience. Some have even suggested that it's merely a mobile game ported to PC. Even if that's not the case, "Kingsroad" feels like a relic from 2010.

Despite the widespread criticism, the demo's Steam page does feature some positive comments. However, these reviews often follow a similar pattern, with phrases like "I really enjoyed the demo, looking forward to the full release." It remains unclear whether these are genuine sentiments from hopeful fans or the work of bots.

"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.
