"Game of Thrones: Kingsroad Demo Horrifies Players"

From the moment "Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" was first announced, it drew a mixed bag of reactions. Critics were quick to point out that the game's visuals and style seemed outdated, reminiscent of PlayStation 3 era titles or typical mobile games. Yet, there was a segment of the fanbase that remained hopeful, eager for a quality addition to the "Game of Thrones" gaming portfolio, which has been somewhat sparse in recent years.

The release of the demo during Steam Next Fest has definitively settled the debate—the game has been largely panned. Players have taken to various platforms to voice their dissatisfaction, highlighting numerous issues with "Kingsroad". Complaints range from the game's dated combat mechanics and graphics to its design choices, which many argue are indicative of a mobile game hastily ported to PC. Even if it isn't a direct port, the consensus is clear: "Kingsroad" feels like a product from a decade ago.

Interestingly, amidst the sea of negative feedback, there are positive comments on the demo's Steam page. These reviews often follow a similar pattern, with phrases like "I really enjoyed the demo, looking forward to the full release". Whether these are the work of bots or genuine optimism from fans remains unclear.

"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.
