Silver is for monsters, steel for deckbuilders
You might count yourself among those who thought the collectible card gameGwentwas one of the best parts ofThe Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt. If so, CD Projekt Red have just made your day by revealing the existence of a single-player standalone expansion for their Gwent game, dubbed Rogue Mage. Not only that, but the fantasy roguelike deckbuilder will be out tomorrow, July 7th.
Rogue Mage’s player-character is a wizard called Alzur, who’s trying to craft the first Witcher. The game’s four decks are themed around a central concept, like boosting cards, and you’ll start with only a dozen cards in your deck. You’ll have to pick three cards to build your choices around within each deck. Exploring the procedurally-generated world map will help you find more cards, but only one at a time. Each hour-long run through the game nets experience points to level your character, which increase the pool of cards to draw on next time around and amp up their power.
Gwent: Rogue Mageis coming to PC, Android and iOS on July 7th. It’ll cost $10/£8/€10 for the standard version and $20/£17/€20 for a premium pack that includes skins, cosmetics and cards for the multiplayer game.
