TLDR; It is not a p2w game, at least not in the sense of participating in PvP. It is primarily a solo PvE with a decent story, earnable cosmetics (pretty much all currency can be earned from playing the game), character creation, quests and a nice representation of Westeros. Doesn't require knowledge of Game of Thrones to play. I hope this review helps someone, I almost passed up on the game because of all the negative reviews and ended up pleasantly surprised. I hope that other people try it and see if they actually like it. If they donât like it, thatâs perfectly fine and completely okay. I also know thereâs people that will find the review funny, because, wellâŚitâs Steam. I at least tried to give a completely honest opinion of the gameâs mechanics. ------------------------ I'll try to keep this as brief as possible. I'll go over what most of the negative reviews talk about. I took the time to actually consider what was available in the game before making an opinion. The game will eventually be F2P, however, you are currently able to get 'early access' by purchasing 1 of 3 tiers ($25/$50/$90). You're getting items such as outfits (appearance varies slightly between male/female/class but the theme is generally the same), mounts, emoji, in-game currency (copper). As far as I can tell there isn't any PvP, so there isn't a 'pay to win'. You can buy a certain currency to get cosmetic armor or some of the mounts. Some of the cosmetics/mounts appear to be rewards for completing certain things in game (think WoW drops). The Deluxe and Ultimate editions come with the battle pass premium for 28ish days or something - you do not have to pay extra for it. If you want to upgrade your standard edition to Deluxe/Ultimate, you have to do it in-game for it to work properly. I originally tried to do it directly from the Steam store and found that it didn't work (refunded it and asked for help in the game discord). The battle pass has a free and paid tier, the free tier includes crafting materials and other similar items. It also has a piece of mount equipment, same with the paid tier. In regards to 'energy', it's similar to Genshin Impact/Wuthering/Honkai/etc. in that regard where you can grind materials but you have a resource that you use to be able to gather it after a boss fight. I assume itâs how F2P regulates how fast the player base progresses in terms of materials. That resource replenishes naturally, but you can still play the game normally, progress through the story quests, etc. There IS an option to pay for that resource along with certain in game currencies for those that donât want to wait/want to progress a lot faster. Fast travel usage requires the in game currency, copper. I want to say World of Warcraft uses the gold/silver/copper for fast travel as well? When you die, there is an option to respawn with copper or respawn a little ways away (or something like that!). I do think the respawn system could be tweaked since the game plays more like a solo game outside of the in game chat + world boss. That kind of system works better if you have a teammate to find you and reduce you, otherwise itâs an unnecessary extra step. The shop is NOT forced on you at any point in time. It isn't available at the start of the game, it just becomes available a little ways in and it doesn't even go out of its way to tell you this. Multiplayer wise, you're playing solo until you have to fight a world boss. I'd consider this game more of a solo PvE (which I'm personally fine with). Also, it's a PC game first as the mobile version hasn't released yet. Controller bindings are..odd. You can rebind them, but, for example, there isnât a way to change the confirmation button from Y/RB. The game works on Steam Deck, but the controls donât seem to be as responsive when navigating the menus/UI. Not sure why. You canât really navigate any of the menus, equipment screens, etc because it just refuses to respond. ----- Story-wise The Game of Thrones TV series and the book series never really interested me even after watching an entire season. However, I did find the story to be rather enjoyable in Kingsroad and I'm actually interested to see how it turns out. You can make your own character (3 character slots, 1 for each class). The game runs well enough with the only issue being lip synching not looking accurate for English and the dialogue lines kinda just assuming the female character is a man (master instead of lady, for example from your family's House). I'd recommend the game easily for $25 or you could very well wait until it goes free in a few weeks.

decent game but pretty predatory to have pay to win mechanics on a paid game

There are two things that the game does not make clear enough on the Steam page. It has character creation, and it's open world. The characters are defined by classes, but you can change gender, face, hair, etc. Currently character creation is limited. Character creation is not superb but it's passable for now. The options are frankly very limited. And you are forced into the classes overall aesthetic with customization which I personally do not like. I don't looking like an 18 year old with the Assassin class and there's no way to change that. It's partly because the classes are supposed to resemble actors of the show. So the Assassin looks like Arya Stark, the Knight is basically Jon Snow, and the Sellsword is basically Tormund. The open world so far is ok. But it's nothing special. It feels like an MMO. Kind of bland with nice graphics and treasure you can find. The one thing this game has that I wish other games like Elder Scrolls would implement is an area search mechanic. If you've played Dying Light with survivor sense, or Assassin's Creed eagle vision. It functions the same. Highlights enemies and loot. There's minor platforming. But it's not parkour. The combat is pretty generic. And it currently feels a bit janky. You have your basic arsenal of block and dodge. Standard attacks are a combo-reliant system. There's only a handful of games I've played that use a system like this, one of them being Dragon Age Veilguard. You have a 4-hit light attack set, and you combine this with heavy attacks which are dependent on light attack to actually perform, so heavy can only be used after a light attack. I think it makes combat kind of fun, but it also can be frustrating during boss fights when you are dodging and can't perform a full combo set. Light and heavy build rage which are then uses for special abilities. There is also stealth, and finishers. The finishers look incredible I have to say. Overall the animations of attacks and moves are really good for a mobile title. With that being said, character movement is not great. It feels stiff and janky a lot of the time. And sprint doesn't feel great. It's toggle only, and to get it to turn off you have to completely stop moving. There's also a light sliding effect with movement. If they could iron all of this out the game could become a 6 or slightly higher. Overall, for a mobile game, I'm kind of impressed it feels this decent. It's a 5/10 in its current state. Being set in Game of Thrones is what makes this worth it in the end. Unfortunately the combat and everything else isn't enough to make the game worth it on its own. NOTE TO DEVELOPERS: micro-transactions are what will make or break this game. DO NOT flood the game with them, or this game WILL fail. You can have some with cosmetics but do so casually. DO NOT put everything in this game behind a paywall i.e progression, leveling up, player power, armor and weapons, in-game currencies. Here are a few things to keep in mind if you are on the fence about buying this: - Characters cannot be deleted. - You cannot edit character in any way shape or form after creation. - There is very minimal gear customization. And what little there is I've heard are behind paywalls. - There are microtransactions.

A Mobile Game at Heart, But a Standout Experience on PC Going into Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, I didnât really know what to expect. However, after spending over 40 hours with the Steam Next Fest demo, I was pleasantly surprised by how engaging the combat turned out to be. Details about Kingsroad had been relatively scarce since its initial announcement at the Game Awards, and given that it was originally billed as a mobile game, I wasnât holding my breath. Thankfully, itâs not solely mobile, and the PC version already feels like a promising experience, especially now in its early access phase. Set around the events of Season 4, Kingsroad picks up where debatably some say the TV series started to shift in tone. While many players will likely be drawn in by the alternative storyline that expands on the aftermath of key moments like the Red Wedding, I found myself much more invested in the gameplay. For me, it wasnât so much the plot that hooked me, but the thrill of sneaking through the wilderness of Westeros as an Assassin, taking out Wildlings and exploring the expansive map. The story is compelling, but itâs the combat and world exploration that has me looking forward to the full release. Surprisingly Engaging Combat Mechanics One thing that stood out almost immediately was how Kingsroad manages to deliver a more dynamic combat system than I had anticipated. While the combat may not break new ground, itâs much more intricate than the straightforward button-mashing I was expecting. Each class has its own unique abilities, all of which are tied to cooldown timers. The Assassin class, in particular, was a blast to play â dodging and flipping around enemies made me feel like I was truly part of the Game of Thrones universe, channeling my inner Arya Stark. While the stealth mechanics are fun, I did notice that enemies could be a little too forgiving, often failing to notice me sneaking up on them. Three Classes, Three Styles, and A Wealth of Options Even though there are only three playable classes in the game so far, this doesnât feel like a limitation. The class progression system is surprisingly deep, with Trait Trees that allow you to specialize in Attack, Defense, or Support. Each class also has its own set of skills, which you can slot into four available skill slots, giving you room to experiment with different builds. I particularly appreciated how you can switch between classes whenever you like, adding variety to the gameplay and ensuring that each run feels different depending on the class youâre focusing on. The PC version feels optimized for a broad RPG experience, with plenty of quests â main story quests, side missions, faction quests, and even estate managing/upgrading. Thereâs always something to do, and the rewards are satisfying, ranging from crafting materials to weapons and armor. This progression system, combined with the fluid combat, makes Kingsroad a much more enjoyable RPG experience than any other Game of Thrones videogame out there. A Beautiful World Tied to Some Mobile Game Trappings Visually, Kingsroad is stunning, especially for an early access game. The world of Westeros is beautifully rendered, and exploring it is a joy in itself. From Castle Black to the open wilderness, the game captures the gritty, foreboding atmosphere of the TV show with impressive attention to detail. However, there are signs that Kingsroad was originally designed with mobile in mind. The menus and in-game currency system scream âmobile-first,â and the gameâs structure leans heavily toward microtransactions. Despite the gameâs mobile roots and the looming specter of microtransactions, the core gameplay loop is satisfying. Combat is smooth, the world is engaging, and thereâs plenty of content to dive into. Final Thoughts Game of Thrones: Kingsroad may have started as a mobile project, but the early access PC version offers more than I expected. The combat and exploration elements are fun and offer far more depth than initially meets the eye. While the story may be a big draw for fans of the series, itâs the gameplay that will keep me coming back. Itâs a shame that the game is somewhat bogged down by mobile game mechanics, but if youâre willing to look past that, Kingsroad has a lot to offer.

Brutally Honest Review of Game of Thrones: Kingsroad (From someone who actually likes ASOIAF) First off, this is a mobile game ported to PCâletâs get that out of the way. The graphics? Theyâre fine. Nothing mind-blowing, but good enough for what the game is aiming for. Combat starts off kind of mid (6/10), but once you unlock the parry system(defense tree), it actually gets betterâcloser to a 6.5 or 7/10. Itâs not groundbreaking, but it feels more interactive and satisfying. As for microtransactionsâhonestly, they havenât been overwhelming. A lot of stuff available, I donât even know why youâd bother buying it. The only thing that seemed actually useful was extra storage space. What surprised me most is the voice actingâgenuinely better than expected. In fact, Iâd say itâs better than Assassinâs Creed Shadows (English VO) and Avowed, based on what weâve seen so far. The story? Itâs mildly interestingâjust enough to keep me going. Nothing earth-shattering, but it works. And finally, letâs talk about the âpay-to-winâ complaints. The game isnât PvP; itâs co-op. Youâre not getting an advantage over other players, just maybe speeding up your own progress. To me, thatâs not pay-to-winâthatâs just pay-for-convenience. Even then it doesnât feel grindy. So my definition of pay to win is very different to some people here. So far? Itâs a fun open-world Westeros game. Itâs not perfect, but itâs decent. Final score: 7/10.
