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 popular book series and HBO show. The demo is available now until March 3rd at Steam Nextfest.
Initially launching on PC, before a later mobile release, Game of Thrones: Kingsroad prioritizes the PC platform, mirroring the strategy of Once Human. This allows for early feedback from the notoriously vocal PC gaming community, providing a valuable gauge of the game's quality before its wider release.
Steam Nextfest, a digital showcase of upcoming games, provides a platform for developers to share playable demos. This allows players to get a hands-on experience with titles ranging from major publishers to independent developers.
While some fans express cautious optimism, others criticize the game for potentially over-simplifying the source material's complexity. However, the PC-first release strategy offers a safety net. The PC community's reputation for frank and critical feedback will likely provide valuable insights into the game's reception and potential flaws before its mobile launch. This approach mitigates the risk of a negative reception on mobile platforms, where players might be less likely to voice their concerns as effectively.
