Gwent: The Witcher Card Game

The presented version implements a card game with a real playing field, a well-developed reward system, slightly modified modes and colorful performance. Now the game, once seen by Geralt, has developed in full scale. Various weather effects, spells, traps and elixirs have been added to Gwent. The process of the game has been carefully changed, the factions have kept, as well as the principle of bypassing by points, rounds. The cards were reworked, so the game became much easier, scoring matters, without complications with strength, mana and health.

How difficult is it to play?

If you need to achieve an excellent game, you have to try, you need to study all the nuances of units and combinations. Combinations allow you to inflict significant damage. It is not so easy to get winning combinations, you need to peep ideas from streamers or guess on your own.

A huge assortment of cards is provided: 130-150 per player for a faction, and there are five of them, in addition, there are more than 160 neutral ones. You can divide cards into the following types:

• bronze;
• silver;
• gold;
• by active abilities;
• by immunity;
• leaders.

Gwent was created exciting, but quite difficult, for example: you cannot assemble a set of legends, you cannot keep more than 6 silver and 4 gold. A total of 10 cards are given with the leader. There is a division into rounds, if you lower the trump cards at the beginning, then you can remain a loser. It's important to think ahead and insure yourself by moving cards to the top of the deck. Gradually, the beta version was improved, the balance was ensured, somewhat confused by the order of moves.

Gwent: The Witcher Card Game Arena

In this part of the game, all cards are exposed, including those located in the deck. It is proposed to play with a bet of one and a half hundred ore for a mirror shard. If you win 9 battles, you can lose three times without interrupting the series. Even if you lose, you can get five cards, a rare one is provided to choose from. So beginners will not leave with anything, and experienced players can get gold and the coveted lot.

In the mixed deck mode, it includes 24 cards, there are 4 variations to choose from. It is difficult to get into a round where there is no choice. The sets have all the factions, the options are playable. There are no borders for units in gold and silver, so chances work much more. Sometimes one of the players is lucky and his position changes dramatically, but the process itself smooths out the unequal division. It is very important to be able to play, if you know the effects, they will be predictable. Therefore, the game in the "Arena" is possible for everyone, if there is a sufficient level.

Game features and design

The gameplay is not replete with excessive effects, more typical restraint, gloom, inherent in the third "Witcher". However, the execution of the images is at a height, so I want to carefully examine everything. Premium series of cards come to life under the influence of meteorite dust, in addition to animation, sound is provided for them. Most of them give out a kind of mini-scene, a remark with meaning. In particular, you can encounter dubbing in the form of a battle cry, a tirade inherent in a video game.

The gameplay is supplemented with background music corresponding to the theme, familiar motifs from The Witcher help to recreate the beloved entourage of relaxing in a tavern. When designing Gwent: The Witcher Card Game, we were pleased with a number of references to famous franchises and Easter eggs. Including "White Cold is Close", "As simple as lembas with butter!" etc. Connoisseurs of many current genres will notice interesting hints. There are such surprises in the trilogy, but there are even more of them in the card game, which adds amusement to the whole process of battles with opponents.

Cost of cards

The use of donation is not necessary, even new players can collect a normal combination, because a barrel with cards costs a hundred ore. Gold is given in the course of completing tasks. They are given every day, while there is no binding to certain decks. It all comes down to rounds, these are not victories in the full sense, but battles within the arena or race.

In general, the gameplay can be assessed positively, connoisseurs of the direction will find the game promising. At the same time, there are many requirements, the process will be appreciated by fans of board games and The Witcher. Over time, a release will be presented, during which a lot can change. It is worth starting the game now, while you can easily collect complete collections.

Summary

The disadvantages of the game can be called the need to understand a lot, there are also few game modes. There are many more benefits:

• thoughtfulness;
• easy to learn;
• having a special spirit in the style of The Witcher;
• there are almost no coincidences.

Gwent fully reflects the originality and spirit of the game, is offered in a beautiful design and has a fairly deep meaning. The version is attractive and well worth a look.
