Netmarble's new action-adventure RPG Game of Thrones: Kingsroad has launched to "Mixed" player reviews on Steam. Many of the player complaints are directed at Game of Thrones: Kingsroad's seemingly aggressive monetization strategy.
Game of Thrones: Kingsroad was first announced in November 2024, and immediately generated tons of excitement from fans of the franchise. The trailer for the game indicated that characters from the show would be taking a big role, with the likes of Jon Snow and Jaime Lannister shown in gameplay. While multiple Game of Thrones: Kingsroad gameplay trailers had continued to build some hype for the game, there was always some concern among the community about the fact that it was releasing on mobile.
Still pining over the best days of Game of Thrones? These new fantasy shows have the potential to fill that GoT sized gap in fans' lives.
Now, post-launch into Early Access, Game of Thrones: Kingsroad has already fallen to "Mixed" reviews on Steam, with just 67% being positive. Despite plenty of praise for the core gameplay loop, many players aren't happy that the launch of Game of Thrones: Kingsroad is paid, only to then be met with more paywalls when in the game...
