Our Expert Score

93/100

GWENT: Rogue Mage is a phenomenal expansion of the Witcher universe that successfully marries the deep strategy of GWENT with the addictive loop of a roguelike deckbuilder. Playing as the ambitious mage Alzur is a treat for lore fans, as it predates the witchers we know and love. The single-player focus is a breath of fresh air, allowing you to experiment with wildly powerful card synergies that wouldn't be possible in a balanced competitive meta.

The game is notoriously tough, but that makes every successful run feel like a genuine accomplishment. The map navigation adds a layer of risk management—do you visit a place of power to upgrade a card, or take a risky elite fight for a better treasure? The production value is top-tier, with incredible card art and voice acting that fans have come to expect from CD PROJEKT RED. It’s a deep, rewarding, and highly polished experience that is a must-play for card game enthusiasts.

Building Synergy

Focus on cards that trigger 'Deathwish' or 'Orders' depending on your chosen starter deck. In Rogue Mage, synergies are more important than individual card power, especially when facing bosses with huge health pools.
