    Its Pay-To-Win.

    Its a flash game where you build a small town and do text adventures - all in the naming and style of the books. You have a little town, you build building, you hire some people that do adventures for you. Everything takes time, so you have to keep coming back - because farmers cannot work out that you want 10. Its not Unique, its all been painful and better done    Its Pay-To-Win.

    Its a flash game where you build a small town and do text adventures - all in the naming and style of the books. You have a little town, you build building, you hire some people that do adventures for you. Everything takes time, so you have to keep coming back - because farmers cannot work out that you want 10.

    Its not Unique, its all been painful and better done before.

    The adventures are above-average and you feel that someone has read the books though the consequences of your decisions make little difference.

    Underlying all of this is Pay-To-Win, pay money to get Gold because only gold can actually make the game worth playing. Pay gold to unlock the really good features or get bonuses that would otherwise take hours of play time.

    What is annoying is a painful user interface - it manages to provide a lot of information but still leaving you to scroll and click you way around it. The main center of the playing screen is a view of your town which you will never use.

    In conclusion, only play it if you want to keep spending real cash on it.    … Expand

    Game of Thrones Ascent is a nice accompaniment to the show, but even fans may be soured by its reliance on timers and IAPs.

    The love for the source material and attention to the finest of details makes Ascent a natural extension to the Game of Thrones universe. I wasn’t happy with the IAP structure, but remain thankful for the chance to forge my own path through Westeros. [Episode 4, April 2014]

    It's yet another strategy game, and even if it feels sometimes a bit chaotic, it does deserve your attention if you're a fan of the series.
