Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, one of Netmarble's most anticipated action RPGs, is finally giving players their first taste. A playable demo is now available at Steam Next Fest, running until March 3rd. This marks the first opportunity to experience this adaptation of the beloved book series. The game casts players as a newly-minted heir to House Tyrell.
Initially launching on PC, before a later mobile release, Game of Thrones: Kingsroad follows the model of Once Human, prioritizing the PC platform. This allows for early feedback from a discerning PC gaming community known for its vocal opinions.
Steam Next Fest provides a valuable platform for showcasing upcoming games, focusing on playable demos. This allows both major publishers and smaller indie developers to offer hands-on experiences to potential players.
While some express cautious optimism, others criticize the game for potentially oversimplifying the source material's grim grittiness. However, the PC-first release offers a level of assurance. The PC community’s tendency towards critical feedback provides a valuable testing ground. Should the game fall short, the PC player base will undoubtedly make their voices heard. This early access allows Netmarble to gauge player response and potentially refine the game before its mobile launch.
