Game of Thrones is becoming a new game this week – in the only right way

earthpressnews

The HBO hit series Game of Thrones offers an intriguing world that many gamers are eager to explore. Video game adaptations of George RR Martin’s work have had a mixed bag, but here’s a big one. A mod will integrate “Game of Thrones” into the strategy game “Crusader Kings 3” (Steam) – this has worked extremely well with earlier parts of the dynasty simulator. The mod will be released in a few days, on April 14th.

Are there already Game of Thrones games?? Yes, there are, but they haven’t been very good games so far. Game of Thrones is complex, takes place in a huge world with countless characters. It’s hard to translate that into a video game.

  • Probably the best Game of Thrones game was the Telltale version of 2014. Telltale games are live, clearly defined stories.
  • There is another digital board game with 71% positive reviews on Steam.
  • A free strategy game has only 57% positive reviews and is described in reviews as “extremely designed for Pay2Win”.

    • The new game “Crimson Desert” is strongly based on Game of Thrones:

    What is to come now? Game of Thrones will be released as a mod for Crusader Kings 3 (92% positive reviews on Steam).

    The mod already existed for Crusader Kings 2 and is widely considered to be the best mod for the game.

    What kind of scenario do you play there? The game starts about 17 years before the series “Game of Thrones” begins: with Robert Baratheon’s rebellion against the mad King Aerys II Targaryen.

    Many foundations were laid during this period on which the later series was based.

    Crusader Kings 3 is an immersive dynasty simulator and story generator

    Why is this the only right way for Game of Thrones to become a game? At its core, Crusader Kings 3 is a relationship and dynasty simulator that puts players in conflicting situations so that they can generate and experience their own stories there.

    The player’s decisions shape the world in the Middle Ages. The wife you marry in the 1st generation in 866 in a small village in Ireland decides which player character you then conquer England in 1002.

    Game of Thrones, on the other hand, is overflowing with special characters: It is an ideal breeding ground for these stories. And anyone who has read the novels or watched the series will surely have found some favorites that they would have loved to put on the Iron Throne.

    Perhaps a more dignified end can be found for Robert Baratheon, once a great warrior in the novels, fat and drunk, he was butchered by his wife.

    Crusader Kings 3 lets players choose:

  • If you want to play like the noble Ned Stark, always be loyal to friends and family and build on loyalty
  • or do you want to be a lying, cheating scumbag who shamelessly seduces women, marries them and then kills them to secure their inheritance
  • Or do you want to marry your sister like a real Targaryen?

    • Crusader Kings 3 has room for all of these things and sometimes rewards them with absurd achievements.

    The earlier Game of Thrones mods in Crusader Kings were extremely popular:

  • The mod for Crusader Kings 2 was released in 2012 and has 966 reviews and a rating of 9.5 on a fan site (via moddb)
