Developed by Cyanide Studios and published by 1C-SoftClub, A Game of Thrones: Genesis is a real-time strategy title that sets out to bring the political depth and centuries-spanning history of George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire universe into an interactive format. Rather than recreating the familiar events surrounding the War of the Five Kings, the game travels through nearly a thousand years of Westerosi...

This game is honestly pretty ambitious for what it is and in terms of a real attempt at the setting this RTS gets more hate than it deserves for trying to not be a generic RTS cash grab of a popular series. The Good: A series of campaigns set from 700 BC (10,000 Ships) to 300 AC (roughly until the middle of War of the Five Kings) so you get a sweeping portrait of Westeros through multiple periods. To be explicit it...

It has been a long time since I had last played a game like this. The type of game you'd label "A Shameless Cash in." With the fourth season of Game of Thrones hitting the air, you might feel inspired to do your own bit of dynastic warfare. I am here to stop you. Whatever you do; you don't want to spend a penny on this pile of refuse. Game of Thrones Genesis is a broken and convoluted mess. It has some nice ideas,...

This game was not what I was expecting at all. It was more like a fast paced board game than the sort of resource management and strategy game I thought it would be. I can't fault it for not being like the Total War games, which I was thinking it was, but I can fault it for not being particularly fun. As far as I can see from playing the tutorial and the first level, you basically run around with envoys and spies...

This game is rough. It has some interesting ideas about how to do video game diplomacy and intrigue, but those ideas are undeveloped, and make the interaction between the houses of Westeros feel like the mere shuffling around of RTS game pieces. It does have an admirable commitment to the series lore, but to get to the lore, you have to play through a dreary campaign which includes frustrating escort missions. You...

This game is just the name and nothing else. Basically is just a strategy game with no strategy at all, just a bunch of units of deception, politics and intrigue that doesn't feel coherent or well integrated into the game but awkward and forced. The game forces you to constantly check the status of your alliances, your secret agreements, the enemy's secret agreements with your allies, the protection of your units...

First off, I am recommending this game only for diehard fans of A Song of Ice and Fire, or anyone that wants an entertaining way of exploring the history of Westeros. Obviously, this isn't the HBO branded Game of Thrones you might be used to so the art or characters may look a little bit different. The way you play this game is a very dumbed down version of any RTS you may think of, build units, take towns and...

A Game of Thrones - Genesis is a "boardgame" style strategy game with real-time-strategy elements. It's a simple concept: you begin with a "home base" and slowly expand your empire. But that is where simplicity ends: expanding your empire is accomplished principally by winning the loyalty of neighboring towns and castles with diplomatic envoys. The more towns that are loyal to you, the more income you have, and...

Being a massive fan of the book series and television show, I bought this game the day it was released. It has gone down in history as one of my most regretted gaming purchases. Cyanide's A Game of Thrones - Genesis is a messily designed, technically janky game that I wouldn't recommend to any besides the die-hard fan, who isn't reading this review anyway. The game is essentially a virtual board game, in which you...
