GWENT: Rogue Mage

Great Gwent...................

As usual good quality. But other Gwent titles were objectively better. Tedious to learn the opponents and have enough luck to live through the boss at the end of the map.

In my opinion it's a bit too random

Loved Thronebreaker, but this one goes from relatively easy to insanely difficult. I can't even follow what is happening when battling some of the characters sometimes... just half your deck disappears and the rest are instantly frozen. Play Thronebreaker instead if you haven't had the chance yet.

The game itself is a mix of regular Gwent and Slay-The-Spire rogue mechanics. You start with a premade deck and select the path to take on each waypoint. Some events give you a present other events are card-battles with rewards (select one of three cards to add to the deck). Each battle consists of one round of Gwent, where the player always starts and the enemy always has the last card. The concept is quite fun and has replayability. The problem: As of July the 7th the game feels unbalanced. This may change as only a few days passed since release. Like other people mentioned, even experienced players can lose to some random weird ass card that the opponent plays on the last turn (e.g. I had my whole board wiped because the opponend used a card that causes -2 to all creatures and then used his special that when a certain number creatures are hurt he can destroy all creatures. GG.). This is the kind of stuff that just feels frustrating instead of challenging.
