Created byNi no Kuni: Cross Worldsdeveloper Netmarble Neo,Game of Thrones: Kingsroadlaunched in early access on March 26. The game is currently only available on PC via Steam.
With the one-month anniversary ofGame of Thrones: Kingsroad’s early access launchfast approaching, publisher Netmarble has shared some official footage from its latest title, which Game Rant can now exclusively reveal. The new promo materials consist of two clips, both of which showcase Altar of Memories, the game’s co-op dungeons that pit four-player teams against a wide variety of powerful creatures.
One of the newly shared videos features a fight against an Ironbeak Griffin, which showcases severalGame of Thrones: Kingsroadgameplay mechanics, including traps. With careful coordination, players can work together to set and activate traps that temporarily immobilize the Ironbeak Griffin, creating an opening for combos and slow-but-powerful attacks that help push through massive damage. Traps are also an option against every other flying enemy that can be encountered throughout the Altar of Memories dungeons.
Netmarble’s second video shows a fight against a Giant Ice Spider, a boss with a fairly self-explanatory name. These humongous enemies attack relentlessly and are capable of dishing out both single-target and area-of-effect damage—oftentimes in quick succession. One strategy for taking them down is for the player party to perform simultaneous weak point attacks, which will eventually incapacitate them and create an opening for dealing serious damage. Both Griffins and Giant Ice Spiders are based on folktales from theA Song of Ice and Firelore, including the stories that Old Nan tells Bran inAGame of Thrones.
TheGame of Thrones: KingsroadSteam pagestates that the action RPG is planned to stay in early access for at least four weeks.
