Game of Thrones: Beyond the Wall Update Revamps Combat System, Adds New Story Campaign, and More

gamerant.com:

Game of Thrones: Beyond the Wall has received an extensive redesign, complete with new features, an all-new story campaign, and an entirely new combat system. Game of Thrones fans will be able to collect many of their favorite characters to build squads and compete or cooperate with one another.

Game of Thrones: Beyond the Wall was first released back in 2020, a year after the acclaimed HBO series aired its controversial finale. Despite the backlash surrounding the show's conclusion, the Game of Thrones franchise has expanded into numerous other media, including the mobile games market. Game of Thrones: Beyond the Wall originally featured a «war chess» style combat system where units could move around on a grid, although the actual depth of this combat system left reviewers somewhat disappointed as considerations such as flanking and rear attacks were absent. Two years after its release, Game of Thrones: Beyond the Wall has undergone a significant rework, essentially transforming into a new game.

One of the most important changes to Game of Thrones: Beyond the Wall is the revamp of its combat system. The war chess grid mechanic has been removed in favor of a straightforward turn-based squad tactics system, a gameplay style that will be comfortably familiar to gamers who have played mobile titles such as Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, Marvel Strike Force, or Disney Mirrorverse. Each character has a set of special abilities on a cooldown along with their basic attack, making team synergy and careful planning especially important when organizing a squad and executing strategies.
