Ww need high hz please 60hz 90hz.
Hello dear developers, we guess we might have a bug our reward book doesnt work there is only trees for beginners we cant even open Christmas event trees what should we do.
We feel like Im playing the video game Gwent.
We love witcher and this game is so great.
We love this game. To fast, beautiful and relax.
While its not the same as the one in the original games its just as good.
Great strategy game. Lots of cards at your disposal to build whatever kind of deck you are feeling that day. Easy to unlock new cards and matchmaking is pretty quick. Overall a great card game.
Nice cards easy to learn would recommend playing.
Its a solid game good alternative magic the gathering.
We like the game. We like the simpler Witcher 3 version better, but Ive been enjoying the mobile app. A few complaints – its hard to drag cards where you want them, especially when youre placing them in the ranged row because its right in front of the cards in your hand. Also – it would be nice if it was easier to see whether an opponents card had an order ability or not. Im having a hard time understanding how and where to spend our key rewards as well. How do we progress past the first marker.
Please add support for backbone remote.
Its such a shame because we love this game but nothing is more frustrating than when youre on a winning streak or about to beat your opponent, and it crashes. A lot lately.
Im a little confused we cant find the Reward book tutorial. When we click on Reward Book, Ive unlocked some stuff by figuring it out on our own, but Im not sure or clear where this tutorial is located. Ive looked everywhere, no luck.
We have performance issues , game freezes from time to time ,turned music off and it still playing??? You need option for gyroscope as well, game unstable pls fix.. Thx.
Good game. Way more complicated than wild hunt however.
A little too much micro transactions.
This is fantastic but the scoiatel faction is absolutely broken. Ive seen so many players utilizing it and continuously winning by playing card after card after card with boost after boost with witchers continuously moving rows while damaging your players. Absolutely ridiculous. Played 5 in a row and FINALLY one won. Will change rating when this is fixed.
If you expect this game to play like it did in Witcher 3 or the console version of Gwent, youll be disappointed. It might just be us, we truly dont understand whats happening when Im playing the game. We were confused throughout the tutorial. We very much much prefer the simple Gwent game on console and Witcher 3. And the general mobile game vibe is off putting. Im not interested in purchasing packs or cards, Im not interested in time exclusives, and when we open the app to play Im not fond of having a pop up offering something in game. We just wanna play.
Love this game so much but ever since the new update went through our app has been freezing then crashing a lot. Its really frustrating when you are winning and the app crashes.
We played witcher 3 and enjoyed it a lot on our PS4, we also played gwent and after we liked and loved it, we downloaded it on our mobile and wished it had Arabic, please add Arabic to this great game.
Why did ya change onslaught???!!!! You literally are making skelli faction weak on purpose ya bout to lose a gamer for real. Why does the other faction still!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have boost an allied unit by 1 cool down 2 but you change our skelli onslaught.why did you change onslaught and not the other??!!! Unfair youre making skelli faction weak on purpose and if you dont change it back or change the other factions ability then ya going to lose a gamer.not going to play a game that literally makes 1 faction the weakest on purpose.
IPhone 8p iOS 15.1 Gwent crashes randomly. Really, really annoying!!! Seems to happen more often if you have a app running in the background. Wish there was a patch note about it.
Flashbacks occur frequently. Please fix them as soon as possible.
Game crashes quite often for us. Please fix this issue.
This game is very complex and with so many cards even from the beginning. Tried the tutorial but it is not even explained properly what the cards do and how exactly you win/lose points. As a lover of strategic card games, we couldnt follow whats going on in the game because its big completely. We would expect the tutorial to explain in great detail the cards, and also as a beginner not to start with all possible cards.
Whether you want a technical/strategy card game experience or simply want to immerse yourself in the world of the Witcher – this is the game you didnt know you needed.
Great game! We highly recommend it to anyone who is into the Witcher series and card games! Its fast paced and has great dynamic archetypes to choose from.
We really enjoy it, its a little confusing at first but you just have to get used to it.
We play a lot of CCG both physical and digital, and this is simply one of the best.
We normally play on PC but recently discovered the mobile app. Other than the user interface it almost identical. A great game with a great experience.
Love the game not as fun as demo when first came out but still very fun.
Really had fun playing this game, artists are the best of our time.
Been playing for years. This game is very well balanced, and continues to get better. Hundreds of dollars later, we still love it and play every day. Being able to play on M1 macs, is also a wlcome adition.
We only want to play the monster Gwent cards you should get them when you loot the monsters corpse but you get them randomly from crates and when you win random players when we got the collector edition we thought Id get the monster Gwent deck you cant buy it from dlc then we got Witcher 3 wild hunt from PlayStation now on our ps4 you get all dlc but we still had to install the free dlc updates from the ps store separately you get a Gwent card for the northern realms deck we cant find it in our Gwent cards. We finally have the monster deck at the beginning of this game we had a lot of fun milling all of the cards in the other decks to make monster cards if you have to pay to win in this game Im happy we have our monster cards Im sure alot of people hate the Gwent cards in the other decks you can get very easily in the Witcher 3 wild hunt we never played 1 and 2. Monster cards are the best sometimes its challenging but its easier with monster cards in the game you dont start with Gerald from the beginning and you dont get character cards when you meet them if you dont have them already 5 stars is the perfect rating for this game if you feel the way we feel youll love this game MONSTER GWENT CARDS ARE THE BEST!!! The game has animations when you play Gwent cards and when you attack the game doesnt have any.
Very fun game. Beautiful artwork. But the UI and main menu definitely needs to be reworked.
The game is amazing, we really love it but only 3 stars because of the crashes. Im playing a game one move left for the victory and the game crashes and it happens pretty often in 3 hours of game time the game crashed about 2-3 times so yes only 3 stars for this really good and amazing game.
We like this game but it tend to randomly crash in us during a match. Usually when Im on round 2.
The game is superbly well designed and lots of fun to fall into. We spent a good amount of time playing and made it to rank 6 in about a month before we got a new phone and found that we cannot get back into our account. Hard to believe that there is no password recovery option. Really bummed by this oversight.
The game makes it very hard to understand whats going on, what the cards you have do, It really should have a play va AI mode so you could learn the cards and pick specific type of opponents to fight so you could learn with a more controlled environment. After the first few rounds they throw you against people with much better cards and one feel helpless. Some cards such as traps card are very not intuitive how one is supposed to play them we ended up killing our own people with it.
Its good until you start only facing people who use the deck that plays your own cards against you. All that spying deck abuses your own deck and its so lame! Not much way around it cause its your own deck defeating you.
This game was really fun at first. We love playing Gwent and would give it a 4 or 5 star, but the decks are incredibly unfair so if youre not using a Nilfgaard or Scoitael then good luck. For that, only 2 stars.
After the game is completed, it is worth 96 out of 100 points, and CDPR's hard work has earned it another 12 points, so you can score 108 points. But in the efforts of CDPR, 3.7% of the behavior is disgusting, so 3.7% of the total score is deducted. 4 points will be deducted, that is, 4 stars will be deducted, and 5 stars will be changed to 1 star.
Lets see how long will this game live.
To judge someone,you should show evidence,you should public rules. CDPR has been bribed by German. Oh ,70years ago,German crushed Poland.now,Poland want to be German's little puppy.German and Russia will divide Poland one more time.
The false punishment toward wangid is an absolute racism action by using undetermined argument and false evidence. CDPR, you hurt the whole Chinese gwent community. Now the only thing we can do is uninstall gwent and give you a shameful one star comment. Shame, CDPR, shame.
Too disappointed about CDPRattitude to Chinese players.
Disgusting racist game developed by a disgusting fraudulent company.
No one wants to play this RACIST game.
