    A fun beast slaying experience that new and existing fans of The Witcher will enjoy, even if loading times are a little slow

    When Pokémon GO meets the strong storytelling of The Witcher, a very entertaining role-playing-AR-smartphone-game comes out in which you cover a few (kilo-) meters.

    Being focused on single player, The Witcher Monster Slayer is an interesting AR experiment and you should certainly give it a try.

    The Witcher: Monster Slayer is a respectable product, absolutely up to the standards of CD Projekt RED (despite the development being entrusted to the subsidiary Spokko), and able to give dozens and dozens of hours and walks to the players.

    To obtain decent equipment, you either need to grind till you drop unconscious or take a shortcut and buy it with real money. I’m not a fan of such paywalls, but the quests are very well-written and therefore engaging, and after some time I started to enjoy my life as a witcher, especially that I found Monster Slayer’s combat extremely satisfying.

    The Witcher: Monster Slayer starts properly its way to becoming a Pokémon Go killer, but it still has a lot to improve.

    At launch this game may be a little buggy, a little crashy, but a Pokémon go clone it is not. The lore is well researched, the battles areAt launch this game may be a little buggy, a little crashy, but a Pokémon go clone it is not. The lore is well researched, the battles are fun, carried, and strategic, and there’s a clear story to this mobile game. The Witcher: Monster Slayer is a free to play, very well polished game, so expect the temptation to spend hard earned cash to get a leg up in the world, and by all means, if you are able and willing, then the prices are comparable to games with far less polish and charm. Maybe I’m a sucker for the Witcher universe (not maybe… I am), but the game is fun and my wife and I walked a good two miles without even noticing this evening just having fun, and if you like the ‘just one more monster’ mentality in your game then this is a great game that will get you walking around your neighborhood. Heck, we even drove to other neighborhoods to play. Happy hunting, Witcher!… Full Review »

    It's a pretty good game with lots of content to it, but its very similar to Pokemon go. But otherwise it is pretty good.

But when i saw the extreme cash-grab micro-transaction shop i got disgusted. I mean 200$ish for an sword in the shop shouldnt even be an option. I dont mind microtransactions at a fair price since its the new meta in mobile games. But this is just awful pricing. Its a total miss from the devs.… Full Review »
