    I've been a gamer since the original NES, and been mobile gaming since that was a thing. Gwent is by far the most fun (and most generous) free-to-play game I've ever played. I only got it last month and I already have 70 hours in-game. I think it's fair to say I'm addicted.
    Love it, and can't wait until it's available on Android (I'm currently playing on PC).

Thank you, CD Project Red, for another masterpiece.… Expand

    Both a great port and a great game. The game feels like it was made for a touchscreen, while operating really well on a PC as well.
    Best visuals I've ever seen in a CCG, incredibly F2P-friendly and has tons of depth. Try it!

    What are the devs doing to this game? This new patch and changes over the last few weeks are awful. They keep strengthening the same metas, nerfing cards that doesn't need it, and even had the audacity to remove even more unique cards, effects and whatnot, effectively making the game more generic and simplified.

    It's a well-balanced CCG with unique mechanics. I love that there are no mana/resource requirements, instead you have to focus on building a good balanced deck. :)

I used to be an avid hearthstone player over the last 4 years. Gwent beats it hands down. The best-to-3 round play-style adds genuine and complex strategy elements that other card games claim they have but never come close to. The fact that you mulligan at the beginning of each round and play only with that hand lets Gwent escape the feel-bad rng vibe at the core of HS and many other card games. The art work is incredible. The fact that the lore of the cards is based on an internationally renowned book series (and soon to be tv series) makes the world feel much more immersive than any other card game I’ve played. What’s more, and maybe most importantly, the *value* of legendary and top tier cards is extremely accessible. Money is, generally, easy to make. A customizable and fun reward system lets you pick different paths to goodies. Additional weekly rewards give out consistent free card packs, called kegs, along with free cards. The mill value of cards doesn’t at all feel predatory or money-grabbing. Unlike every card game of played, it is viable for new players to start up and soon have enough resources to create optimized decks. The negatives of this game are tiny imo, but here they are: first, the tutorial is awful. It takes a long time and will leave you feeling clueless about the game. Make sure to look things up online and you’ll get the hang of it fast. Second, the game has 3 different loading screens and each one takes like a minute (could be my old phone, I’m on a 6s). Give it a try!! The community is awesome… Expand

    A brilliant experience that borders perfectly between complicated and simple, the iOS translation is smooth and almost as if the game were designed for mobile. Much more free to play friendly than the likes of Hearthstone. Couldn't recommend more

    With the many changes and improvement since the beta, this has now become a great card game. Balance is great due to monthly patches, card art is top notch, and your decisions matter greatly (there are very few games where a lucky draw decides the outcome).

    Fantastic port of a fantastic card game . Balanced with a lot of depth , stunning card art . Much less pay to win than others .

    Really good port for a really good card game in the Witcher world. One of the most free to play friendly card games in the market, with rewards nearly overflowing and decks being much cheaper than in other mainstream card games.

    Vast majority of the artworks really stands out, especially their premium, animated versions!

    Really recommend!

    Well worth the buy. A lot of different deck archetypes and diversity, and beautiful card art and animations. You have so many options with deck building, the game sucks you in for hours. The player base is highly competitive, too.

    Best card game on market, and what's important also most generous. iOS version is one of the best game you could play now on iPad or iPhone. Vertical card preview is a thing of beauty

    The iOS port was a long awaited one but it's here. Game had already one long year before this release to perfectionate itself, the balance of the game is quite well done.

    Big plus for the graphisms, card arts are astonishing.

    Big plus for being free to play friendly.

    It's one of the best collectible card games I've ever played and I played many - Magic: the Gathering for 19 years, Triple Triad, Tetra Master, Slay the Spire, Spectromancer, Hearthstone
    and other.

    Game is based on mini-game from one of the best RPG ever created, but it's very different from original and much more interesting experience - you can see balanced gameplay, feel dark and cruel atmosphere from Witcher universe.

    Game is always in development, making new expansions, balancing, all thanks to great CDPR team.

    And don't miss Thronebreaker: the Witcher Tales for great story and strategic battles, based on Gwent.    … Expand

    Metro GameCentral critics review: "There’s still an undertone of pay-to-win."
    This couldn't be further from the truth. Clearly 'Metro GameCentral' never played the game. Gwent is the most generous card game out there period!
    A quick visit on the gwent reddit will tell all the appreciation from new player about CDPR generosity.

    Despite the occasional balancing dilemma, Gwent is one of the best deck builders on mobile; smart, fast-paced, and most of all, free.

    Although similar in some respects to Hearthstone, the tactical depth and ability to deploy game-changing combos keeps it fresh and distinct, the touchscreen port playing even better than the PC original. There’s still an undertone of pay-to-win but provided you don’t take things too seriously it doesn’t spoil the fun.

    Overall, those who love GWENT already should absolutely grab it on mobile – particularly if you’re a PC player, as you can just pick up where you left off and play the same account on the go. Newcomers should also check it out, as mobile is the best platform for it – particularly if you have an iPad and can take advantage of the larger screen.
