A new Game of Thrones game is now available, for free. More specifically, Game of Thrones Beyond the Wall, a free-to-play strategy role-playing game, is now available on iOS devices. Meanwhile, the game is also coming to Android soon. Barring any last minute delay, it will hit Android devices on April 3. Meanwhile, there’s still no word if the game is coming to other platforms, however, if you have an iOS supported device, you can play the game for free right now.
According to developer Behaviour Interactive, while Game of Thrones Beyond the Wall is a free-to-play mobile game with in-game purchases, it doesn’t abuse players with microtransactions, and insists that you can play the game without ever spending a dime. Again, who knows how well microtransactions are interwoven into the game, but at least it costs nothing but time to find out.
For those that don’t know: Game of Thrones Beyond the Wall is pitched as a story-driven RPG meets a turn-based strategy game meets hero collector. Further, in addition to a campaign punctuated with squad-based tactical battles, there’s PvP. As for the former, it takes place 48 hours before the events of the hit HBO television show. In it, Lord Commander Brynden Rivers has disappeared while ranging deep beyond the Wall. As a result, the Wall needs a new leader, which is where players come into the fold as the new commander of the Night’s Watch.
