### 4/5 — Pas mal

*2025-02-14*

Un jeu très joli, en français et assez plaisant. Mais assez peu stratégique.

### 4/5 — spannendes und herausforderndes Rouqe-lite-Kartenspiel

*2023-02-18*

Durchaus spannende und herausfordernde Rouqe-lite-Einzelspieler-Version des Multiplayer-Kartenspiels Gwent. Die Rouqe-lite-Mechanik ist sehr stark ausgeprägt. Wer gerne ausführlich sein Deck optimieren möchte, wird nicht glücklich. Anfängern und Sparfüchsen empfehle ich, die kostenlos spielbare Multiplayer-Version „GWENT: The Witcher Card Game“ oder die Anfangs kostenlose Einzelspieler-Kampagne „The Witcher Tales“ zu probieren.

### 3/5 — UMSETZUNG NICHT VOLLENDET

*2022-12-23*

Positiv: eine Menge freischaltbare Karten, viele Spielfelder teilweise liebevoll dargestellt.

Negativ: Umsetzung auf iPad nicht rund. Texte erscheinen teilweise außerhalb des Bildschirms. Leider keine deutsche Sprachausgabe. Kartendeck kann man überwiegend nicht selber zusammen stellen. Karten nicht lebendig. Das schlechteste Card Game der Gwent Reihe..

### 1/5 — Seit heute nicht mehr Spielbar

*2022-12-22*

Wenn ich mich anmelde und spielen möchte (online/offline) dann werde ich weitergeleitet und es wird mir angezeigt dass die in meinem Land/ Region nicht mehr verfügbar ist!

### 4/5 — Good game but it could be much better

*2022-11-12, version 1.0.4*

I was hoping for similar experience like I had with the Thronebreaker. The first thing you see is way smaller budget. Only one voice language to choose, no beautifully designed cutscenes from the previous Gwent standalone game, just normal dialogue pop ups well known in mobile gaming. 

Awful navigating on map. You can’t just go anywhere you choose to. If you missed one turn. That’s it. See ya.

The story is ok but again, there is nothing to compare if we look at Thronebreaker or any Witcher game for that matter. 

Don’t forget that it’s still a Gwent game. If you love Gwent the same way as I do, you’ll still enjoy it. 🫶🏼

### 2/5 — How do you ask for a refund?

*2022-11-07, version 1.0.4*

Such a downgrade from ThroneBreaker, i lost hope at the title and splash screen.

### 3/5 — Moyen (pas d’aventure et crash constants)

*2022-11-01*

Le jeu est assez bon et conserve la meme qualité graphique que thronebreaker. 
Par contre il n’y a pas vraiment d’histoire, on avance simplement de bataille en bataille comme sur un jeu de pleateau. Une fois un boss vaincu on recommence et ainsi de suite. Pas de réel interet pour ceux qui cherchent une aventure à suivre. 
Pour ce qui est des bugs, le jeu crash toutes les 15mins sur mon ipad alors qu’il est compatible avec le jeu et que j’ai mis toutes les options graphiques au minimum. Pour 12€ j’attendais une version beaucoup plus stable. 
Je suis globalement déçu même si le jeu est interessant. Si vous hesitez, foncez prendre thronebreaker qui est nettement meilleur.

### 3/5 — Great except for last card

*2022-10-30, version 1.0.4*

I love this game except for one glaring aspect. The enemy is always the last to play a card (that’s not the issue) and the game moves on and declares defeat or victory without giving you a chance to find out how you won or lost (more importantly lost). There’s no way to go back and see the last enemy turn. For instance, on my last round, I ended my turn 32 points up on the enemy. On enemy’s last turn, lots of stuff happened very quickly and suddenly it shows my defeat by one point. I think this is a major oversight and very frustrating. It’s very annoying to lose on the last turn, but infuriating to not even know how or why!

### 3/5 — Great mechanics. Game crashes constantly.

*2022-10-02, version 1.0.4*

I love the storyline and the experience. It’s well thought out and challenging at the level you want it to be. The CONSTANT crashing breaks all of that. Strategically it’s very disconcerting and can cost someone a whole run. I want to love it, but fix the crashing.

### 4/5 — 最高難易度までクリア

*2022-09-24*

MP回復なしで最後までクリアしたので感想を。個人的にはゲーム性は違えどstsと同じ位ハマりました。宝箱から出る物の当たりハズレがかなり大きいのだけは気になったけど、ただカードを置けば勝てるって事はないです。むしろ後半は結構難しかったし、魔法とデッキ選択の段階から考える事は結構あります。プレイテンポは良いとは言えないまでも1プレイ4〜60分くらいで1クリアまでいくのでこの系統では長すぎるって感じでもなく個人的には1プレイの時間で考えると丁度良かったです。欠点があるとすればボスのバリエーションが3体と少ない事。マップが一つしかない事。 初プレイだった為、最初は戸惑いましたが最終ポイントを競い合うというシステムが最後まで緊張感あって良かったです。 できれば新しいボスとか新しいマップとか出してほしい。

### 1/5 — Terrible game!

*2026-06-27, version 1.0.7*

Even though it’s a roguelike, the randomness is horrendous. To beat the game, no matter how well you build your deck, you’ll have to hope for a miracle! The AI ​​cheats a lot, and I won’t even mention draws. Don’t play this!

### 1/5 — 毫無誠意的作品

*2025-12-23, version 1.0.7*

作為巫師系列上百小時和昆特牌上百小時玩家，本作簡直毫無誠意可言，首先是沒有閃卡，其次裡面的卡你確定是阿爾祖時期有的內容嗎？沒有一點新意欸，代入感一整個垮掉，並且雲存檔也沒了，無語😓

### 1/5 — Bad.

*2025-12-07, version 1.0.7*

Player coming from Witcher 3, and the online gwent app, played other card games as well. To be fair the enemies are creative and pretty different. The problem is no way to modify your starting deck, so you replay over and over with a trash deck that you upgrade by winning. The boss are extremely unbalanced, you need to get god rolls to even have a slight chance of winning, oh and your reward? Start all over again with the same trash starting deck. Not worth.

### 1/5 — Beware!!!

*2025-12-01, version 1.0.7*

If u uninstall this it will ERASE ALL PROGRESS!!!! Devs could’ve at
 Least provided a warning. ://

### 1/5 — Come peggiorare

*2025-10-17, version 1.0.7*

La versione precedente dove potevi creare un mazzo in tutto e per tutto come volevi era molto meglio…qui, oltre ad averlo messo a pagamento, hanno ingessato tutte le dinamiche quindi ogni partita è uguale alle precedenti

### 1/5 — Designed for you to fail

*2025-06-16, version 1.0.7*

I wish I would have known that the game is designed for you to fail. You can’t win at this game which makes it unpleasant to play. I would not buy this had I’d known you can’t win. It’s not fun losing. I wouldn’t buy this game.

### 1/5 — Complete BS

*2025-03-04*

Don’t buy it. Wasted money.

### 1/5 — Jogo bugado no iPhone

*2024-01-05*

Bom dia no dia 02 de janeiro de 2024 fiz uma compra do jogo Gwent Rogue Mage, pelo valor de R$ 49,90, porém o jogo está com um bug no meu iPhone 14 Pro, pois toda vez que perco uma batalha, sou transferido para o menu principal (laboratório) porém não tenho a opção de retomar ao lugar aonde estava, sou forçado a reiniciar o jogo do zero, perdendo todas a conquistas q tive ... solicito que façam o reparo disso, ou que pelo menos restituam meu dinheiro .. obrigado

### 1/5 — 买了的都是韭菜

*2023-09-12, version 1.0.4*

如题

### 1/5 — Gra fajna ale….

*2023-01-22, version 1.0.4*

Gra miała być po Polsku
Ale po zakupie się okazało, że tylko napisy są po polsku a reszta mówionych kwestii po angielsku
Jakbym wiedział to bym nie zapłacił nic za to nigdy
Polska gra….. i po angielsku
Cały klimat psuje 
Daję jedną gwiazdkę

### 5/5 — Best music

*2025-07-22, version 1.0.7*

Please make a next installment. I love this game. I just deleted my save to beat it all over again.

### 5/5 — Rogue intelligente

*2025-06-10, version 1.0.7*

Bella variazione dell’ottimo Gwent con possibilità di personalizzazione. Merita l’acquisto.

### 5/5 — Great old school

*2024-07-13, version 1.0.7*

Single player, offline, enough longevity and very good graphics and gameplay. Thank you so much for developing this version of Gwent.
One great add-on could be a 1:1 multiplayer with family members, with chaos decks or any other. 5 stars

### 5/5 — 재밌습니다.

*2024-02-04*

개인적으로는 slay the spire보다 훨씬 잘만든 겜이라고 생각됩니다. slay는 한번 깨고 더이상 안하는데 이건 한번씩 하게되네요. 그래픽이나 사운드가 훌륭합니다.
100레벨 이후에도 더 할만한 콘텐츠가 있으면 좋을것같아요. 후속작 나왔으면 좋겠네요.

### 5/5 — Gwent

*2023-05-21, version 1.0.4*

Excellent jeux

### 5/5 — Need more bosses and cards!

*2023-03-30, version 1.0.4*

I really love the game. I’ve played it multiple times through and completed the main story on Maximum  difficulty.  I would really like to see an update that gives more bosses and more cards.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2023-01-20, version 1.0.4*

This is a really great game, well worth the price. My only issue is the settings don’t seem to save if the app is closed.

### 5/5 — Отличная игра

*2023-01-04, version 1.0.4*

Несмотря на цену игра отличная. Играл в Гвинт долго, но надоели игроки тупо сидящие на метах. Тут намного комфортнее и интереснее. Берите на Стиме за минимальную цену, не пожалеете.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2022-12-31, version 1.0.4*

Persevere with this one. It is truly a great game with a great gameplay loop. Nowhere near as good as thronebreaker but still a 5 out of 5 games.

### 5/5 — Love all CD Projekt games!

*2022-10-04, version 1.0.4*

Worth it! Love the gameplay, simple to learn but hard to master, it is a great time killer, i highly recommend it!
