10 Video Games To Play If You Love Game Of Thrones

10. Final Fantasy Tactics

Final Fantasy Tactics was originally released in 1997 on the PlayStation, and then later as an enhanced port called Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions in 2007. The game uses a 3D rotatable playing field with two-dimensional sprite characters, yet despite its almost cartoonish and slightly dated looks, The War of the Lions is one of the most mature and complex gaming stories in the Final Fantasy universe.

The game’s story takes place in the Kingdom of Ivalice. After the death of the king, a civil war breaks out between the Order of the Northern Sky under the banner of the White Lion, and the Order of the Southern Sky, and the Black Lion. Each banner is lead by two Dukes who are battling to become the Regent, for control of the Kingdom.

With a penchant for twists and betrayals, the story in Final Fantasy Tactics is heavily influenced by the real life War of the Roses; a civil war between the Houses of York and Lancaster, which in turn was an inspiration for the conflict between the Starks and Lannisters.
