Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, Netmarble's highly anticipated action RPG, is finally offering a playable demo! This marks the first opportunity for fans to experience this adaptation of the beloved book series. The demo is available now until March 3rd at Steam Nextfest.
Initially launching on PC, Game of Thrones: Kingsroad follows the model of Once Human, prioritizing the PC platform before a mobile release. This allows for early feedback from a discerning PC gaming community known for its vocal opinions, providing a valuable test before the mobile launch.
Steam Nextfest serves as a major showcase for upcoming games, focusing on playable demos. This gives both large publishers and smaller indie developers a chance to garner player feedback.
Initial Reactions Mixed
Early reactions to Game of Thrones: Kingsroad are mixed. While some express cautious optimism, others criticize the game for potentially oversimplifying the source material's complexity. However, the PC-first release strategy offers a safeguard; the PC community's critical feedback will provide valuable insights into the game's strengths and weaknesses before a wider mobile release. This approach mitigates the risk of a poorly-received mobile launch.
