    While quite different from the previous single-player GWENT experience, GWENT: Rogue Mage is an extremely solid title that masterfully combines mechanics from the card game introduced in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt with roguelike mechanics. With tons of different cards and different strategies, Alzur's search for the mutagens that will create The Witcher is an extremely engaging one, despite the smaller focus on story, compared to other games belonging to the popular series.

    Gwent: Rogue Mage is the perfect example of how to reinvent yourself in an effective way. The playing card strategy game from the Witcher saga, even after all this time and variations, is still capable of holding on. A bit of variety in situations and encounters would not have damaged the experience, but the overall result is a well crafted experiment.

    Gwent: Rogue Mage is a new and satisfying way to play Gwent with an interesting roguelike twist.

    Without being the most exciting, original or accomplished rogue-like of the genre, Gwent: Rogue Mage nevertheless offers a recipe that works, all in the familiar universe of The Witcher. Players who like the modern recipe of CD Projekt Red's TCG, but prefer to play solo, should enjoy it for a while, especially since its price is really modest. However, the alterations made to the gameplay may put off some players, and it quickly feels like they are doing the same thing over and over again.

    The differences make for a fun single-player experience that fits into the lore of the Witcher world. However, this isn’t the kind of game to play if you are after a fully immersive story. On the contrary, Gwent: Rogue Mage’s story mostly ends with the intro video and flavor voice lines from the two main characters. Now, if you want a game to kill some hours with some fun mechanics and a lot to unlock and learn, then Rogue Mage may be what you’re after.

    GWENT: Rogue Mage is an expansion suited for players who need new challenges, like to test their patience and improvise strategies. But because of a rather repetitive gameplay and disappointing story, it’s a game that casual fans of Gwent can easily skip.

    Rogue Mage is an enjoyable card game that I was happy to spend a few evenings with. However, it lacks the greater depth and addictiveness of classic rogue-like titles for prolonged play. As a result, this version of the cards isn't bad, but it's unfortunately the weakest of all on offer. [Issue#321]

    It's really fun and very cheap. It's a high quality game with great production values. Absolutely worth the price.

Por eso me compré Rogue Mage tan pronto salió pero, desde el principio, me temo que algo no ha estando haciendo click para mi con el juego. Las mecánicas del juego han sido modificadas en algunos puntos para ser un deckbuilder pero el juego en si no acaba de funcionar como debería en ese sentido. Las partidas se basan demasiado en el mazo inicial, de modo que se vuelven repetitivas, los sistemas de progresión entre partidas son demasiado simples y directos y, especialmente, las batallas pierden componente estratégico al volverse a una única ronda y otros cambios que tienen. Si añadimos a eso que, siendo lo buenos que son CD Projekt con tramas, este juego no se puede decir que tenga una más allá de lo más básico (una que, además, tiene incoherencias cronológicas como personajes que puedes jugar por cartas pero que no existen en la época), el resultado es flojo.

    Estéticamente está bastante bien porque, como juego de cartas, gwent siempre ha sido vistoso. La música muy bien aunque reciclan temas, y las pocas voces dobladas que hay también cumplen bien. Y, al menos en mi experiencia, no he encontrado bugs significativos.

    El resultado de todo ello es que, aunque es un juego que tenía todo para gustarme, lo he ido dejando y dejando y dejando hasta que ya va tocando reconocer que no lo voy a continuar. Un 4.    … Expand

    An apt reminder that the best part of The Witcher 3 was actually not that good.

    They managed to steal a whole game and then take all the fun out of it.
    Incredibly booooooring. Dont understand how you manage to do something as bad when you already stole almost the whole game.
    Its not even a gwentgame they only used the assets but they dont even make use of the only thing that i unique with Gwent.

    You want to try the gameplay?

    Role a 6 sided dice and beside you have a bag with dice where you have 1 6 sided and the rest d12 and then you pick one random and roll and see which is highest.

    You can choose one card that they call the keycard and they can for example every 2 turns put rain on a row thet do 1 dmg on 2 random enemies.
    Wow just how underwhelming you manage to do the game.

    Also of course there is ingame purchase which I dont care about if not the game is so bad.

    Cant understand why they want to drag their own IP down like this.
    Bought everything they ever made but it have at last come to an end and I am still one of the few that hade a ok experinece with cyberpunk but you clearly see that they are not the same anymore releasing something like this.    … Expand

    I sincerely love all gwent games but this one just hurts me to play how badly done it is. It's like I'm back in the noughties strategy.

The only thing that connects this game with the original is a copy-paste of cards from online gwent.… Expand
