The final season of Game of Thrones just aired today and we're reaching the end of the journey with HBO's adaptation of The Song and Ice and Fire series. If you're one of those people who feel existential and can't get enough of a universe you invested yourself into, there are lots of media available that revolve around the Game of Thrones universe.
The books are still incomplete and there are also spin off books as well as a series (in development). But there are also some video games made from these series. Before the series even aired, there was a text-based video game called Blood of Dragons and it was released way back in 2007.
Most Game of Thrones video games are usually spin-offs or tell stories centuries or decades before the events of the show. Some also include characters from the main series and allows you to control these character. Here are some of the best Game of Thrones games you can play.
#5 Game of Thrones (2012)
Released: 15 May 2012
Available on: PC, PS3, Xbox 360
Game of Thrones is a role playing game (RPG) that is about 7 years old now. It is a single player game where players control the fictional characters of Alester Sarwyck and Mors Westford. The game switches between the two characters and features a huge open world.
The game takes place concurrently with the events of Season 1. There is also a DLC which allows you to play a story that takes place 10 years before the plot of Season 1. The game allows you to make choices between actions and those actions have consequences. You can choose between 4 different endings of the game as well.
While the game is enriched with a great combat system and tough choices, the reception for the game has been slightly mixed, some in favour and some not in favour. Still, the game is one of the closest things we have to an open world RPG set in the Game of Thrones universe.
#4 Game of Thrones: A Telltale Games Series
Released: 2 December 2014 (Episode 1), 17 November 2015 (Episode 6)
Available on: PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, iOS, Android
Telltale Games is famous for making "choose your own adventure" types of games, where players have to make choices and respond to quick time events to play the game. They were famous for releasing games such as The Wolf Among Us, The Walking Dead, Tales From The Borderlands and more.
6 episodes have been released for this game. Each episode allows you choices which will impact your gameplay in the future. Many original characters (and their actors) are featured in the game along with new characters. The game was overseen by George RR Martin's personal assistant to make sure it didn't turn out bad.
The game only has a Season 1 now as Telltale Games has shut down production but left behind a great legacy.
#3 Reigns: Game of Thrones
Released: 18 October 2018 / 11 April 2019 (Switch)
Available on: PC, iOS, Android, Nintendo Switch
Reigns: Game of Thrones is a spin-off game from the Reigns series. In the Reigns games, the player controls a king or queen and you are expected to make decisions based on cards that pop up from the screen.
At first, I was not sold on this type of game. It is relatively simplistic and doesn't have the features of an open world where you can slay Lannisters or Freefolk or ride a dragon. The gameplay of Reigns: Game of Thrones is surprisingly immersive and not as basic as it looks out to be.
The game also features mini-games such as jousting and tavern brawls. Make the wrong choice and you're dead. The game allows you to play as multiple characters which are progressively unlocked as you play.
#2 Game of Thrones: Winter Is Coming
Releasing: Spring 2019
Available on: Web Browser
Game of Thrones: Winter is Coming is an upcoming game that will be an open world RPG featuring the vast array of characters from the series. You can start playing it now on any web browser from either mobile or PC. The game was first announced way back in 2012 when it was being developed by Bigpoint.
Fast forward to today and YooZoo games who bought Bigpoint will be releasing it. The game is being worked on in collaboration with partners from HBO and Warner Brothers.
#1 Game of Thrones: Conquest
Released: 19 October 2017
Available on: iOS, Android
Game of Thrones: Conquest is a real time strategy game available only on mobile. The ultimate goal of the game is to conquer Kings Landing. Players start out with a small base and has to manage their resources as well as build troops. Conquest offers a PvP mode as well in case you want to step on your opponents who are real humans.
Game of Thrones: Conquest offers a lot more detail and requires you to think like a leader compared to most Game of Thrones games. A game like this needs to be on the PC or console.
