Based on the Witcher fantasy novels and videogame franchise, the deck-building great Gwent is at once simple to learn and remarkably deep. It’s a jaw-dropping beauty too—every card is lushly animated, and the game board itself springs to life with characters swinging weapons, flinging spells, and battling beasts. Sharpen your blade—the Continent awaits!
So much fun!

I downloaded this to learn how to play Gwent better so I can stop losing in the Witcher 3 (lol). Instead, i ended up really enjoying this version and find it very fun despite facing some pretty stacked decks. There’s so many resources online to learn decks, but I have fun just putting them together and seeing which cards synergies work well. I also like seeing what other players use and learning to craft decks from them. I really hope the reviews saying that support for this game is going down are wrong. I just started to fall in love with it and I think it would be a massive shame to toss out such a well designed card game. Could it be improved? Absolutely. Should it be discarded? No way!! I understand how niche the Witcher is, but you have to remember Witcher 4 is coming out and there is the Netflix show. There’s plenty of ways for people to find this game and I’m sure they would continue to if the game is kept alive and supported. If CD Projekt Red doesn’t want to, I guarantee some other company would jump at the chance. It’s not every day that you can design a functional card game, let alone one as fun and unique as Gwent. At least make a new version of you kill this one. And please let us carry cards over too, because people really put time and money into earning them. Cheers for the fun game and here is to hoping they realize what they have here and continue to support it.

It seems like Gwent has been out for consoles and PCs for so long. Now finally iOS players get in on the action. If you played The Witcher 3 then you know not only about Gwent but also about the developers. They are a company of integrity that produces incredibly polished, fun games. The visuals and sound effects in this game are just stunning. The Gwent you remember from Witcher 3 is very different but it won't take you long to jump into it. What I love about Gwent is it obliterates frustrations I have with other card games. With games where you have mana as a power source you often have games where you have too much mana or too many cards that need mana when you have none. Then you're just sitting there continuing to watch the other player take turns without being able to do anything. The same goes for games where you get power each turn automatically. If you get stuck with lots of cards with high power you again can't do anything. With Gwent you just focus on playing and having fun. You can play any of your cards at any time. You can spend money to get ahead in the game but if the free to play aspect is very generous. I already love the iOS version and am going to be playing every day.

I'm impatient
I enjoy the Witcher books, games, and show. I was excited to play this game and for a few days I really enjoyed it. The music and artwork are amazing. It’s a great way for me to enjoy the experience of the Witcher world without taking up hours of my time. It is obvious that a lot of time and effort went into the making of this game and I appreciate that. The issues I have are with the game play. This is not chess. You can strategize all day and still get obliterated because your opponent has better cards. Yes, you can buy those cards. Yes, they are in loot boxes. Yes, that’s how pay to win works. You still need half a brain to play the cards correctly but I was hoping for more than the same old cash grab that is becoming all you can play on anything now. I get it. It’s a business model that makes a lot of money but I was hoping for more from CD project red. I can live with that. What I can’t overlook is lag issues on a game with time limits. On the special game modes there is a faster pace which I like because standard mode can take up to 10 minutes or more to complete a game. I don’t that much time for a round of gwent because I mostly play when I catch a break at work. It is incredibly frustrating to have a card disappear as I’m trying to play it. It can cost you a 5 minute match in a matter of seconds. This has happened multiple times. I hope is resolved because as I said I really want to like this game.
