GWENT: Rogue Mage

Gwent Rogue Mage is pretty much Slay the Spire with Witcher lore and Gwent gameplay/fights. It is fun and works well, but it also has its weaknesses. I understand that Gwent players are unhappy that battles only have 1 round here, but I think that's needed or the fights would take way too long. What could need improvements imo are the following areas: - It is annoying that enemies always have the last turn. This means that you always have to rely on odds, which is stupid in a game where one unlucky loss ends the whole run. Now you always have to consider wasting more spells, just to make sure you are leading a lot before he plays his last card. I think it would be best if the enemies start each fight, or alternatively make his last card visible to the player before your last turn. - The first couple battles are rather boring as you always start with the same deck, and once you feel like you have a nice deck later on the game is already over. It would help to start each run with 2-3 card rewards (add a card or remove a card), to add more dynamic to the runs, especially for the first fights. And I also wouldn't mind making the runs 2-3 tiles longer. - I was disappointed how fast the curse system is introduced, forcing you to make the already challenging game even harder if you want to progress with the mutagens and the story. - The random events and the places of power are kinda boring. I think adding some currency to the game would be good to make the events more interesting. Then also add a shop where you can buy or improve cards. Even with these (and some smaller ones) weaknesses the game is very fun for me, and I hope that CD Projekt Red improves it over time.

Gwent arrives in a second single-player expansion with some great differences from all previous versions. 1 - It's using mostly cards from the online PvP Gwent over the static cards from Witcher III; 2 - Each match lasts only one round instead of 3; 3 - Any defeat sends you right back to the beginning of the game map. Restarting after a failure sounds like it would be dull, but the map is populated quite randomly and no run is like any other. The storyline is progressed with each successful run across the map instead of between each battle like Thronebreaker. The animation evokes the style used in the Witcher III 'epilogue' story-set-pieces delivered by Geralt. My only complaint with Rogue Mage, is that it lacks the soothing tones of Timothy Watson as a Narrator. However, given that's the only thing I've found disappointing, I have no hesitation in recommending this game to everyone - especially if you're in the mood for a round of Gwent!

The game has major flaws, i find the first deck to be the most reliable most of the time and it can carry you through the game, but its still fun when you can completely transform it by the end of a run, and each run can be different with the variety of cards you unlock. The game isnt the best but if you have a few podcasts or youtube videos you want to catch up on you can multitask them with this game and enjoy yourself.

Boring than gwent and thronebreaker Got the game for the cardbacks in gwent but were eliminated in 2023

Havent put that much time in yet, but it seems ok to me.
