GWENT: Rogue Mage

There's too much story for you to just ignore it, and yet too little of it for you to care about it or invest time in it. There are too few mechanics akin to Slay the Spire - treasures you find are uninspired, at best, question marks don't yield many interesting surprisies, the fights take significantly longer than StS and there's too much fighting in general. The game is also significantly worse than multiplayer version of Gwent (which is a fantastic card game, go check it out if you haven't played it yet!). The gameplay is slow-paced - you can't speed up the animations like you could in StS. Coupled with the fact that the main gameplay loop grows stale very quickly resulted in me getting bored of the game after a couple hours.

it's interesting for a couple hours, but as soon as you complete a enough runs to advance, you realise that the game has basically nothing to offer beyond its initial premise. everything is random and you autopilot your deck until you either win or lose by chance. go play competitive gwent or thronebreaker instead :(

This is not a Gwent game. Just one round per battle, not best of three. It loses the key point of Gwent. What's more, you can win easily if you get some decent cards. If you only get low-powered cards, you will lose easily, even if you are a master card player. The design of the boss is ridiculous, which prevent players' imagination. You can only use some specific card to win the game. Otherwise, you cannot win because most other cards are countered heavily.

They have had discovered a awesome tipe of game with Thronebreaker, it has awesome story, fun game, interaction with the deck, awesome art and then they go ahead and create this game wich is a bad copy of slay the spyre, i bought it because CD PR never had failed me, i love every other game they've made, but im dissapointed with this one. I hope CD PR makes pach to verify all the bugs and to improve the experience of the player in this Rogue Mage game, maybe with a little twicks here and there they make it a fun game.

- You can't build your own individual deck, only expand card by card.. - ..only to lose it all when you make one mistake and have to start all over - You can only choose between 4 base decks - No depth to the story. It's just a few unremarkable comments from the characters, and some extremely short cinematics (though admittedly I haven't played past a certain point as I can't bear it anymore) - no design variety. It's the same map all over again - you may get annoyed quick as you face the same few leaders every time, as obviously once you lose you have to start all over again - I expected Gwent Multiplayer Rewards, like with Thronebreaker, but it seems there are none (excluding the premium version, I obviously mean rewards that are unlocked by playing Rogue Mage) If you haven't played Thronebreaker, go and buy it right away - it's a masterpiece and you'll have a blast. This game here is just sad and the only way I can justify buying this for myself is by viewing it as a donation towards CD Projekt Red's future.
