After a free demo last month on Steam, the Action RPG Game of Thrones Kingsroad is moving up a gear, this time with the deployment of early access on Valve's platform.

Note, however, that early access is conditional on the purchase of one of the following three editions: Standard at 24.99 euros, Deluxe at 49.99 euros and Ultimate at 89.99 euros. Each edition naturally comes with its share of bonus goodies, and a certain amount of in-game currency.
Regarding its synopsis, Game of Thrones Kingsroad invites us to return to season 4 of the eponymous series. We play as an heir to House Tyre, a minor house in the North, as Winter comes and war rages in Westeros. We can choose to make him a Knight, a Reiter, or an Assassin, who will explore the entire country, meeting iconic characters from the universe like Jon Snow, Cersei Lannister, and many others. He will also have a great influence on the future of Westeros, illustrated by long-term support from Netmarble studio.
For now, the Steam page for Game of Thrones Kingsroad displays an average of "mostly positive" reviews, with 69% positive opinions out of approximately 300 reviews. Players generally appreciate the gameplay offered and its atmosphere, which is very respectful of the original work. Due to the game being partly mobile, many, however, criticize the rather predatory monetization, with numerous so-called "Pay to Fast" or Pay to Win" elements. It remains to See what happens when Game of Thrones Kingsroad rolls out. in 1.0, hopefully in the coming weeks.
