I signed up for the closed beta seemingly months ago when I got back into the wild hunt. I was never a fan of gwent in the actual witcher game, felt it was more luck based and tedious so I thought meh when I received my beta code.
I have to say this is a very good card battle game, it’s the gwent you played in the wild hunt, but changed. Now there are gold cards impervious to elemental effects, more special cards that actually damage the opponents deck, and you not limited by faction as much. I was able to take a northern realms deck and insert a few monster cards into it.
It certainly doesn’t have the chops of say Magic, or hearthstone, but it’s pretty good if your into that sort of thing. Which I’m really not, but I enjoyed my few online matches.
