You win or you die: Telltale's Game of Thrones has come to iOS
Almost a year to the day it was first announced, Game of Thrones has finally come to iOS.
Developed by Telltale, Game of Thrones is the highly anticipated graphic adventure game adaptation of HBO’s “Game of Thrones,” the hugely popular TV series adaptation of George R. R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” epic fantasy novel series.
Like Telltale’s other titles, including Walking Dead: The Game, The Wolf Among Us, and the upcoming Tales from the Borderlands, Game of Thrones follows an episodic format of choice and consequence.
The game features settings and characters from the TV series, with voice work performed by some of the actors in the show, including Lena Headey as Cersei Lannister and Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister (pictured).
However, its five playable characters hail from House Forrester, whose members haven’t appeared on the show, but have appeared in “A Dance with Dragons,” the fifth book in the novel series. “The actions of one character can ripple out to affect the rest of House Forrester,” Telltale notes. “Multiply the actions of one character by five, and you’re truly playing the Game of Thrones … where you win, or you die.”

Playable on iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, Game of Thrones is available now on the App Store for $4.99, with the first episode, “Iron from Ice,” already unlocked.
Succeeding episodes of the game are expected to be released via in-app purchase over the coming months.
