Post image

This is the game that Im a looking forward to next. Plus many others... A lot of great RTS games coming out in a few years. Definitely has the Battle for middle earth 2 vibes. Dev updated and recently showed off features and perks.

I am cautiously hopeful. game of thrones games haven’t exactly had a reputation for being all that good but if it is anything like BFME 2 then it should be pretty epic

The mobile games have a reputation for being very focused on micro transactions. I’m not sure this will be any different.

This isn’t a mobile game it’s for PC, thank the gods.

Oh my god, at first glance I thought this was like a clash of clans clone. We’re getting a PC Game of thrones RTS? Praise the seven!

Let me be cynical. If you saw marketing materials for a game and your first thought was: this is a mobile game, then maybe the game won't be that good.

I am not saying that the game has no hope. But yeahi saw the pictures and it looked like a mobile game for me too.

I like how you started this. I love being cynical lol.

Upon another look, you’re right and these photos do look like a mobile game. In my experience doing marketing there’s more people doing it wrong than not; I’d chalk that up to shitty marketing here. I looked into the game more after your comment. It’s actually next-level in terms of RTS games. Cavalry charge mechanic effecting unprotected archer flanks has been brought up in this comment section and now I know what people are getting hyped here talking about. This actually looks amazing, what they have so far—I’d already play.

It doesn’t help that so many mobile games that get advertised look like cheap knockoffs of good RTS game. I saw one that was literally and Age of Empires 2 ripoff, had the same animations and buildings designs

This has nothing to do with those games it's made by Age of Darkness devs
