![]() Meve leads a small army, represented by the starting deck of cards you wield, that grows as the story progresses and you unlock more cards to add to your deck.Īlmost every single encounter presents a unique puzzle to solve and a brand new set of rules. The world and cinematics have a watercolor aesthetic that is as original as it is pleasant to see. Gameplay, outside of card battles, is seen from a top-down perspective. ![]() You play as Meve, Queen of Lyria and Rivia, on a quest to push back against Nilfgaard forces and protect her kingdom and allies. Thronebreaker takes place during the 2nd Niflgaard War. ![]() I've always loved The Witcher, and now I also love Gwent. The heavily modified version of Gwent in the game is accessible, challenging, and varied enough that it manages to stay fresh throughout the 40+ hour campaign. Thronebreaker delivers an enthralling story with exceptional voice performances and a nuanced morality system bound to make any RPG fan swoon. It's probably better to think of Thronebreaker as a narrative-driven puzzle game rather than a single-player collectible card game - the puzzles just happen to involve trading cards. ![]() But nevertheless, Thronebreaker really got its hooks in me in a way I didn't expect. Does this make me the worst person to review Thronebreaker, an RPG set in the Witcher universe with 100% Gwent-based combat? Probably. ![]()
