Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, an action RPG set in Westeros, is now playable in Steam Next Fest. Developed by Netmarble, the game initially sparked excitement but has since raised concerns due to its mobile-first design.

Gameplay and Features

The demo offers a story-driven experience where players can choose from three classes:

  • Knight
  • Sellsword
  • Assassin

Combat includes:

  • Light and heavy attacks
  • Blocking and dodging
  • Finishers
  • Stealth mechanics
  • Co-op for earning gear

However, early impressions suggest the gameplay feels unpolished and unresponsive, drawing unflattering comparisons to other action RPGs on both PC and mobile.

Concerns and Release Date

Despite its connection to the beloved franchise, concerns over mobile-style monetization and performance issues have left players hesitant. Game of Thrones: Kingsroad is set to launch in Q2 2025. You can check out the demo on Steam Next Fest while it remains available.
