GWENT: Rogue Mage 17+

Like the game. Think it’s mostly great. Do feel like the matches take a while, especially when you’re meant to traverse a whole map. I think some setting to hasten the games for people who want a shorter casual experience would be nice. Cut the deck size maybe? I’d like more matches of shorter length if I turn the game on for a brief moment.
I don’t like that there’s an energy bar with a timer in a $10 game. That exists in free games as a cash grab. I paid, so don’t make me wait an hour or more to continue if I run out of energy. I’ll have to discourage other people purchasing until it’s changed.

First of all, any review complaining about recharging energy in a game you already paid for is wrong! The energy is used for each run and then completely refills when you start your next run even if you do them back to back. The game is a rogue-lite type deck builder game. The game itself is challenging but not impossible and really makes it fun as you have to seriously contemplate your next move. Any fan of Gwent will instantly fall in love and even if you just like the Witcher series I think you’ll enjoy it too. Story is cool as well as it’s about the creation of the Witchers. Fits screen well and no bugs I have run into. Money well spent for the fun I’ve had so far!

Happy to get a single player Gwent game vs. the original PVP version. Tons of fun and the different decks provide a ton of variety and complexity. No “freemium” energy or timers here. Play as much as you want.

Only recommendation, and reason for 4 stars, is I wish there was a way to sync progress between multiple devices, specifically phone and iPad. Also based on limited testing on iPad Pro performance needs to be improved a bit.
