If you have played The Witcher 3 well you probably know what Gwent is. It is one of the best card games out there and it was very successful with the multiplayer version of it. This time it’s getting another singleplayer edition called Rogue Mage which looks amazing. Let’s see what it’s all about.
Rogue Mage Beginners Guide – Gwent
Rouge Mage is a single-player rogue-like deck-building game. The cards that are here are very similar to those that are in Gwent making the transition from one to the other is extremely easy and user-friendly. There are also no micro transactions in this game.
The game follows Alzer a very well-known character in The Witcher universe. He is actually the creator of many witchers with the end goal of getting rid of many dangerous monsters that are lurking through the world.
And to answer your question that you’re thinking about. No, unfortunately. You will not see Geralt as he is not yet born in the time period this game spans.
The beginning of the game is actually in Alzas’s Lab. Here is where your planning will take place. You can start a new run or continue another run. The goal mostly in a game like this is just beating the game as many times as possible and each other to beat your score or time from before.
You can create tons upon tons of builds which means that you will have countless of strategies to embark upon this adventure. It really is fun. You also compete against other players in the online world. You can see their time and there’s a top rank board too.
The mechanics are basically those of Gwent. If you are a player already, it can be in the actual game Gwent or in The Witcher 3 Gwent, you will be familiar with the basics and can take on a fast and experienced first run.
If not though, you will meet with a beautiful card game. You can play 1 card per turn and you have different types of cards to choose from.
How to Play Gwent: Rogue Mage
It is highly recommended to play the Tutorial first. It is wonderfully created and will teach you a lot of the stuff that you will be needing to go on with the game.
You will have a map to explore and actually see different things and learn about the Witcher Lore as you go.
This is not only for the story, but it also helps with the element of a living world. It also makes your immersion much much higher. You will find different sorts of enemies throughout the map that you can go through. There will be also chests along the road as well as NPCs that you can interact with and have multiple choices to make, depending on the situation.
This is one of those beautifully and very carefully hand-crafted games. It will leave you speechless as you play them. A huge thank you and a big credit goes to TheaBeasty from YouTube.
