Game of Thrones: Beyond the Wall

A lot or a little?

Parents need to know Game of Thrones: Beyond the Wall is a turn-based strategy game for iOS and Android devices. The game's inspired by the popular Game of Thrones TV show and A Song of Ice and Fire books. It pits heroes against human, animal, and non-human enemies (such as undead White Walkers) on a gridded field of combat, allowing players to control the movement and actions of each member of the party. Attacks involve sword swipes and arrows shot from bows, but there's no blood or gore. Successful strikes are accompanied by flashes of light, and characters fall to the ground and disappear once defeated. Parents should be aware that while this is a free-to-play game, players will be prompted to make optional purchases within the app -- such as items that permit the recruitment of new units and promotion of existing units -- that may help them progress more quickly. In-app purchases can be switched off in your device's settings menu.
