Regularly updated by a champion team of volunteers, A Clash of Kings is probably the best Game of Thrones action experience out there. Not content with a visual makeover, A Clash of Kings introduces sea travel, 26 new scripted events, unique quests, random events, and eventually the arrival of a mysterious invading faction. To see this content please enable targeting cookies. The attention to detail is laudable, with 80 custom locations, new banners and map icons, and over 1,000 items. Players hire mercenaries, including the mighty Unsullied, and form bonds of companionship with famous Game of Thrones characters. Set during the eponymous second novel, A Clash of Kings is played on all new Westeros and Essos maps peopled by 20 factions and made beautiful with new textures and terrain. Warband, which has more focus on putting together an army, is even better suited to the franchise's famous factionism and political skullduggery.Īlthough it's far from the only Mount & Blade conversion, A Clash of Kings is a particularly fine example that deserves top billing on our list. Last ModDB update: June 2014 (dev update)Ī medieval combat sim, Mount & Blade provides a great base for a Game of Thrones game. In the meantime, the fantasy universe provides an enormous treasure trove of lore for modders to leverage in full conversion mods. In fact, the best Game of Thrones release to date is probably the social game, Ascent - although we have high hopes for Telltale's game and Bigpoint's MMORPG.

Cyanide's strategy effort was panned at release, and its RPG sunk without a trace, despite being pretty decent considering.

Unfortunately, so far results have been a little disappointing. George RR Martin's fantasy epic A Song of Ice and Fire - better known by the first book and HBO series title, Game of Thrones - should make for excellent video games. Let these mods keep you occupied in the meantime. HBO's Game of Thrones is on hiatus till 2015 and the new book could be years away.
