"Game of Thrones: Kingsroad Demo Horrifies Players"

From the moment "Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" was first announced, the visual impressions left much to be desired. Many fans likened its appearance to that of a dated PlayStation 3 title or a typical mobile game. Despite these initial reactions, a segment of the community remained hopeful, eager for a fresh take on the beloved series, given the scarcity of compelling "Game of Thrones" games in recent years.

The release of the demo during Steam Next Fest has now settled the ongoing discussions, confirming the widespread fear that "Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" is, indeed, a disappointment. Players who tried the demo were vocal about their dissatisfaction, pointing out the game's outdated combat mechanics, substandard graphics, and design elements reminiscent of mobile gaming. Some have even gone as far as to label "Kingsroad" as nothing more than a mobile game ported to PC. Even if it's not a direct port, the game's overall feel harks back to titles from 2010.

Despite the predominantly negative feedback, the demo's Steam page also hosts positive reviews. These comments often follow a similar pattern, expressing enjoyment of the demo and anticipation for the full release. Whether these are the work of bots or the voices of the same hopeful fans who believed in the game's potential from the start is still up for debate.

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