Ye have been warned – Game of Thrones Ascent Review

This game is not free unless you wish your playing time to be spent languishing in mediocre items and frustration. If you get this game, be expected to pay money eventually....YOU CANNOT WIN WITHOUT PAYING and it’s terribly difficult and hard to have fun without the items that you only get from paying. Even more suspect are the games within the game which promise items aplenty but oft fail to deliver (Example: the “Tales of ...” adventures will always disappoint you because it seems the strength of your sworn sword is not included in the outcome algorithm). These games within the game would be attractive and would have more participants if there was greater reward. To be fair, Alliance vs Alliance is fun, but, once again you must spend your real money. So, if you’re affluent, and haven’t a problem spending about $100-$150 on a game to be an average player then this game might work for you. I write this review after playing this game daily for 3 months with much attention; I even found myself with a spreadsheet tallying Sworn sword strength and attributes to increase odds of mission success. All this requires money, and more than you ever think you’ll spend and willing to admit. Please know, I love Song of Ice and Fire EVERYTHING and support products that bear the name, but this game is in first place of being the greatest disappointment of any product that represents G.R.R. Martin’s amazing world. YE HAVE BEEN WARNED
