The value story

Across all 23 discounts in the 14 years tracked, the median cut is 75 percent, about 11 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 452 weeks ago.

It is pricier than 66 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. On the same math Age of Darkness: Final Stand ($27.99, scores 37) and Pioneers of Pagonia ($34.99, scores 55) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

Best game of thrones game by far. It gives you what the boardgame tried and didnt manage: an authentic game of thrones experience. Highly recommend. Had this game since it came out, finally got it on steam too
ArcaniteMRecommendedafter 21hJan 2024Read on Steam
A generic RTS with pause. Nothing to do with Game of Thrones except some house names. If you're into rts games, buy on sale, but if you're into GoT, you'll be bored.
