Game of Thrones: Ascent
« on: October 26, 2013, 06:57:56 am »

Is anyone playing this game? I've just started but I'm enjoying it as a background sort of time filler.

Pros:
Game of Thrones (official)
Aesthetically pleasing (nice music and attractive images)
Interesting and compelling story

Cons:
Gameplay is largely making decisions and waiting for things to complete
Free to play but, of course, you can pay for extra stuff and speeding things up

So far I'm enjoying it as a sort of forcibly-slow-paced choose-your-own-adventure. If anyone wants to play, feel free to add me. I'm meganleb on Kongregate, or Aira Vidzej in the game.

I wonder if it counts as necroposting... But I've recently logged in, and exploring it for a while. Good addition to Fallen London (so I have two point-click-wait) games. About game itself... maybe not very entertaining, to my point of view, but deserves to being checked, especially if you like J.Martin saga.

Ah, I had played this.  Stopped coming back cause it slowed my browser down.

Necro time! I've just had to write several articles about Game of Thrones (books, TV show, and editing interviews with some of the actors), which got me to start reading the books, which got me remembering this game. I've decided to give it another try. Is there anyone who wants to form a Bay12 alliance with me? I imagine the game will be a lot more fun with group goals to work towards rather than just logging in each day to grind away on my own, and I don't really feel like joining up with a bunch of strangers.

I did try it some time back, but found it pretty boring. For all the fact that you have an original character doesn't let you change the story in any way, you're just following the novels' plotline.

I played it, but stopped when it became aware that it was just another wait-for-shit-to-happen style game.
