GWENT: Rogue Mage

This is a really great game, well worth the price. My only issue is the settings don’t seem to save if the app is closed.

Persevere with this one. It is truly a great game with a great gameplay loop. Nowhere near as good as thronebreaker but still a 5 out of 5 games.

1. The map is too linear. The ability to backtrack and revist nodes would add a subtle layer of dynamism. 2. Disappointed existing Gwent card collections cannot be used with amended abilities and/or statistics to reflect the different time period. 3. Disappointed the factions have been removed and cards seemingly placed in random factions. For example, Gascon: Iron Falcon as a monster card does not reflect the card, the card’s abilities and what is the reason for Gascon being a card if the game is set ‘hundreds of years before Geralt…’ (CDProjekt Red’s own words). 4. The AI is appalling and too simplistic. It borrows too heavily from Thronebreaker. Coupled with the ability to use existing cards/factions this would be a strong selling point to Gwent fans and add a further level of replayability to an otherwise weak offering.

Fun and cool story so far. But can’t scroll down on menus with the scroll bar.

Brilliant game. Easy to play hard to master - just what I love from a card game. It gives it plenty of depth as you progress to the harder areas and challenges. It incorporates the world of the Witcher so so well and it is seemless in its immersive storytelling. I would recommend 100% Is by far and away so so much better than all the evil games that are “free to play” while costing £100000000 this is at least a one off payment for the game or dulux version (which is well worth it if you have the regular Gwent). At a very affordable price for such a great adventure!!

It’s a great Game with huge potential. The Roguelike mechanics are really fun and satisfying. It’s especially great if you have some experience of Gwent already. However I’ve had some really annoying crashes occurring twice at the end of the last bus which has resulted in me losing a whole run having just defeated a tricky boss. As you can imagine this is really frustrating. But I hold out hope that the Gwent team can remedy this.

So having played the game a little bit now the first thing I’d like to say is it’s very enjoyable and very much the Gwent we know and love but with Roguelike mechanics thrown in to always keep things unique each run through. However, the game demands a LOT from your device especially if your playing on your phone, battery life depletes VERY quick, you’ll often get a long horrible bout of lag cause your phone gets hot and there’s lots of crashes. Then there’s the one issue I’ve found with gameplay, more of a design thing than a bug or anything but the starting deck you get is quite terrible, you’ll never complete a run with it as even the later ‘normal’ fights require you to spend energy most turns to keep up with your opponent and don’t even think about the elite fights with it! The enemy decks are way too strong for the deck that you get given and you only really get to change 9/10 cards in any one run through (not enough to build a new deck or transform the one you have) so if you don’t mind grinding losses until you can unlock the later decks then you’ll be alright but the game is good fun whilst grinding though

The game constantly crashes on IPad and I cannot get a refund. This is a theme consistent with CDProjeckt’s games, lack of user testing and poor support

I really love the game. I’ve played it multiple times through and completed the main story on Maximum difficulty. I would really like to see an update that gives more bosses and more cards.

Such a downgrade from ThroneBreaker, i lost hope at the title and splash screen.
