What are some games that are like Game of Thrones?

>inb4 GoT video games

They are all garbage. Is there a title which has dark fantasy, schemes and shifting alliances done right?

no

ck2 + got mod

CK2

No which is a shame because I'd give my left nut for exactly that

very much this. CK2 has all the houses, backstabbing and incest you could ever need.

Are you seriously asking if there are any fantasy themed video games? God I hate normalfag GoT fans.

The Banner Saga has some of the best world building I've ever seen

the Game Of Thrones Telltale game is pretty much what you would expect from a knock-off series that has lower budget


There

>They are all garbage

No shit, because Game of Thrones is overrated trash just like The Walking Dead.

>GoT
>dark fantasy

Yeah, as opposed to High Fantasy.

god tier mod desu

Too popular for contrarian gentleman such as yourself?

>Game of Thrones
>dark fantasy

That's not what he's asking

I'm too casual for CK2. Most of the time I just keep myself in that one tiny island that can switch to a heresy that allows incest and stay there making an incest kingdom until the muslims bully me into losing.
Is the mod easier?

Yeah apparently to most people if the hero isn't running around in bright clothing it's a dark fantasy.

It's Sword & Sorcery at most. Dark fantasy is shit like Berserk, The Legacy of Kain, Bloodborne and Diablo.

Yes. Try the great Northern blob.

You should try the Ogre series or Final Fantasy Tactics.

Berserk and Dark Souls are dark fantasy. GoT is low fantasy mixed with political drama. Perhaps some kind of tactical RPG mainly focused on warring nations and humans with some occasional fantasy creatures rarely appearing? Fire Emblem fits that description, but it never really got to the political levels of some other tactical RPGs like FF Tactics (which is too fantasy to be analogous to GoT).

Suikoden II

>too casual for CK2

And I thought such thing wasn't even possible.

Witcher 3 has the environment but definitely not the story.

>White walkers/wights
>Resurrection
>Necromancy
>Blood magic
>Dragons
Just because it's not LotR doesn't mean it isn't high fantasy

It literally isn't high fantasy

>tfw no Deep Dark Fantasy videogame

Yes it is.

Exactly what you want:

Mount and Blade Warband mods
there are 2 big ones:
I tried A Clash of Kings and it is EXACTLY what we want, OP.
And I hear that A World of Ice and Fire is even better, but I haven't tried it yet because I want to keep enjoying the "worse" one first.

Yes it is you fucking idiot

GoT is a weird example because it becomes very clearly low fantasy and progressively moves to high fantasy. I consider it more low fantasy for the fact that the majority of people in the realm don't believe in stuff like white walkers or even magic. Dragons are really the only exception to that list.

cool reasons

You might want to take a look at Darkest Dungeons.

Oh I dunno.
Witcher 3 is a relatively good example of what being a renowned mercenary in the GoT's verse might me like. Doesn't know all the ins and outs of the political intrigue but he is the one the people who do hire to do their dirty work.

Oh really?

If you are not gud enough for CK2, Warband mods are the place to go for GOT fans.

If you are new to Mount and Blade, just realize that the combat system is not clunky or awful, just different and it will take a bit of time to figure out how to use smoothly. And archery requires skill points to become useful. Eventually, you can learn how to order your troops well.

lol I hope you end up killing yourself soon

which is has a more GoT feel to it? CK2 or the MaB mod?

What's next, Wood Fantasy?

older RTS games maybe. some RPG's, for example certain questlines in the elder scrolls.

Speaking of Berserk, how is the new anime?

I mean, I know it's shit. But HOW shit?
Is it worth watching for someone in desperate need of a Berserk fix?

Dragons and low magic high fantasy does not make. If it did, you could name a lot of shit as "high fantasy" while completely ignoring the fact that there are multiple sub-genres of fantasy itself

CK2 if you want the closest thing to an authentic fanfiction generator detailed down to every minor house you could think of. M&B if you want to fight the battles yourself and have a more single character-focused experience.

Well if you want to be Jon riding into battle, then MaB.

If you want to be Tywin planning marriages and alliances and assassinations, then CK2. But MaB has marriages and alliances and I think some assassination as well but not as well as CK2.

>game is more like Secret of NIMH: The Strategy Game

Fucking idiot reviewers.

>game is more like Secret of NIMH: The Strategy Game
>literally Redwall: The Game

Fucking idiot posters.

Both examples work.

No. Not really.

>ctrl-f
>no Dragon age origins
That game was literally written with ASOIAF in mind.

dragons and low magic have nothing to do with high fantasy.
google fixes everything
High fantasy is defined as fantasy set in an alternative, fictional ("secondary") world, rather than "the real", or "primary" world. The secondary world is usually internally consistent, but its rules differ from those of the primary world.

>Dragon age origins

The Age of Decadence

>its another 'nerds argue about definitions' episode

Guess it was inevitable given it started out as Game of Thrones.

ASoIaF is not dark fantasy you wog.

Normalfags think they know shit, more like

Dragon Age Origins and The Witcher series are all that immediately come to mind for me.

hate it all you want but that doesn't change the fact that it and game of thrones are alike

The older Fire Emblem games were like that before they turned into censored waifu simulators. Especially FE7.

If you want LITERALLY "not-Game of Thrones", Final Fantasy 14 copied large swaths of it wholesale, down to the terminology. Expect to fight in a Trial by Combat, deal with scheming Houses, a totalitarian Faith of the Twelve, attend a couple of Red Weddings (once even literally called that), and fight off an invasion of ice zombies attacking a huge frozen fortified wall called the Dusk Vigil(synonym for ???), which is rife with references such as the entire Night's Watch oath, a Lord Commander, and the boss using an attack called Winds of Winter.

> Is there a title which has dark fantasy, schemes and shifting alliances done right?
if you want that why do you like game of thrones?

Berserk?

Watching it now, the animation is making it hard to bear, but its not unbearably bad

back to /lit/

I'm waiting for a few more episodes to give a proper opinion, but I do already miss the 97 series style.

Fire Emblem 4 and 5 come to mind.

Damn I wish they had kept on making Fire Emblem games like that. Conquest had the potential to scratch that itch but it failed so miserably...

All of that is from the Ishgard/Coerthas parts of Heavensward, and there are plenty of other parts that have no such feeling.

The Red Wedding is from like 2.3 and it's about ghosts.

Witcher 2 and

>politicians and royals bickering over the throne while a greater threat is looming on their borders
>the only group fighting against the supernatural evil is a shadow of what it once was and desperately seeks outside help

Sounds about right.

>Watch the end of Season 6
>Blonde girl finally doing something about invading Westeros
>Her army consists of
>A horde of ill equipped mongol rapists
>A fleet of pirates who's society only encourages rape, murder and theft as the way of life
>A group of illegitimate bastards of a prince's younger brother and his whore girlfriend who murdered him because he didn't want to throw his country into senseless war in a setting where kin slaying is one of the most unforgivable things you can do
>3 dragons she can only control when she acts like a bloodthirsty monster herself

She's meant to be a villain right?

Because it feels like they're pushing her as a protagonist really hard just because all the named characters are women.

>endless throw away characters with little to no development that get killed
>gritty material just for the sake of being gritty and not adding anything to the story
>bad acting
>overlooking the few good characters
>pointless side story about a dragon bitch that becomes the main story later on

Sounds like you want Final Fantasy. Or maybe Naruto. Same thing really.

>pushing her as a protagonist
Did you forget all those times she got people killed with a smile on her face?

They had to make someone the hero after they decided Stannis needed to be a full-on villain in the show.

She could easily become the villan, yes. Tyrion gave her that warning that she could end up like her father if she choses "easy" choices like burning down cities with dragons.

Conquest has now canonised that Fire Emblem is all about moe anime hijinks in the middle of a fantasy war setting where you barely kill humans unless they're utter monsters, instead you just bonk them on the head to knock them out.

It's so fucking sterile and soulless.

Do people really believe this crazy fanatic was redeemable in any way?

Shit prose.

>Tyrion gave her that warning that she could end up like her father if she choses "easy" choices like burning down cities with dragons.
And then his sister blew up a sept along with the entire neighborhood and a bunch of lords and nobles

Sounds like Tactics Ogre, except you won't find on it edgy vulgar dialogue, gratutious nudity and american culture analogies normalfags can relate to.

Not a big follower of this series. But pretty sure the creator said from the beginning that the point of the story is there is no 'hero'. Just multiple sides fighting each other.

The fans of course create their own views of the story. And want either Arya or Dragon Bitch to win.

Book Stannis is a stubborn pragmatist.

Show version is a murderous zealot.

I think you mean low fantasy.

Imo first Tactics, then Ogre. Tactics is a bit easier to get into.

He's a much more well rounded character in the books.

D and D just turned him into a flanderised villain because they don't like him for some reason.

Congrats, you just proved Game of Thrones isn't high fantasy

The one called the Red Wedding is the ghost one, but the 2.55 banquet is the event actually inspired by the Red Wedding, obviously. Even though it turns out later that most of the "killed" characters survived. Then again the original Red Wedding was guilty of that as well in the books.

You mean using black magic to literally spawn a demon out of a womans vagina to murder a king isn't considered dark fantasy?

Or a pirate king who cuts the tongues off of all the people on his ship so that no one can speak about him also isn't dark fantasy?

Fuck off.

fucking this. so much wasted potential...

also RIP to the character designs

Yet the ultimate plot is to have the realm fight what is essentially Witcher wild hunt Elves (though the show makes them more like Mass Effect Reapers) + The Scourge which are coming to the wall

All the political side is fading away for your run of the mill standard fantasy plot.

I finally played Dark Souls after binge watching the first five seasons. I wanted a game where I was just in a suit of armor and cleaving enemies with a two handed sword, Dark Souls did just the trick.

Divinity Dragon Commander

Fire Emblem IV, and is miles better than GoT

I don't know, crusader kings 2? mount n blade mod?

For all the twisted characters they were fine with depicting in a positive light, I never was sure why they had it out for making Stannis look so irredeemable.

This is my favorite gif of all time.

After watching GoT I felt like playing something that was actual dark fantasy so I gave Bloodborne a playthrough again.

And then I realised the issue; fantasy is so over reliant on sword and sorcery western europe medieval settings now. So little is done on other cultures or time periods.

You can play romance of three kingdom series.

The newest version have the hero mode where you are an officer rising above ranks.
So you can make alliance with other officers then overthrow the current lord and take over their city.
Or take over the country.

Like I said; DnD both have a massive dislike for Stannis in the books for some reason. Maybe it's the religious fanaticism I don't know.

>And then I realised the issue; fantasy is so over reliant on sword and sorcery western europe medieval settings now. So little is done on other cultures or time periods.
To be fair, almost all the other cultures we have available are shit.

Play Japanese games any time.
