Gwent: Rogue Mage is a single-player card game based on the standalone version of The Witcher Tales.
Story of the title takes place hundreds of years before Geralt's birth and tells about the mage Ozura, who obsessively strives to create the first Witcher. We will take morally difficult decisions during the game, but the plot does not play a key role in Rogue Mage - it is not even considered by CD Projekt RED as part of the canon created in their other games.
18×16 svgThe basic gameplay rules do not differ much from what we know from the standalone version of Gwent. We continue to collect cards split into decks (this time there are four), with which we duel with encountered opponents. Each of them has its own theme and mechanics that distinguish it from the others. We place the cards on a board divided into two rows. At our disposal we have units for close combat, shooters and siege machines, often possessing additional powers. All of them have their strength determined by points - the player with the higher total number of points wins.
The maps in the game are procedurally generated. While exploring them, we observe everything from a top-down view, and interact with objects with mouse clicks. If we lose a party while wandering, we are taken back to the beginning and lose all the progress made in the area. Through careful exploration we gain new cards, strengthening our deck. It takes about 30 hours to go through the whole thing, divided into nearly hour-long missions.
Rogue Mage offers many options for modifying the difficulty level, so the title can be both a relaxing stroll in the park and an unforgiving challenge.
The goal of Gwent: Rogue Mage was to provide new content to players who prefer single-player play, so it does not offer a multiplayer mode.
Graphics in the game is made in a cartoonish 2.5D style, first introduced in the interludes of The Witcher 3 and used more extensively in standalone versions of the Gwent games.

Game Ratings for Gwent: Rogue Mage Video Game.
IGN: 8 / 10 by Leana Hafer
Gwent: Rogue Mage is a new and satisfying way to play Gwent with an interesting roguelike twist.
Wccftech: 8.5 / 10 by sco De Meo
While quite different from the previous single-player GWENT experience, GWENT: Rogue Mage is an extremely solid title that masterfully combines mechanics from the card game introduced in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt with roguelike mechanics. With tons of different cards and different strategies, Alzur's search for the mutagens that will create The Witcher is an extremely engaging one, despite the smaller focus on story, compared to other games belonging to the popular series.
Rock, Paper, Shotgun: by Hirun Cryer
Gwent: Rogue Mage is a great evolution of an already-satisfying foundation. The roguelike trappings of travelling across an ever-changing board full of shifting events and encounters meld wonderfully into the action of Gwent battles. Some redundant events and bothersome bugs aside, this is a real treat.
