How about another card game to go with your card game?

Plenty have carved out a decent niche for themselves within the space, which is more than what you can say for many MMOs, so clearly there\u2019s enough diversity and strong IPs to cater to people\u2019s tastes.<\/p>\n<p>Enter <em>GWENT<\/em> \u2013 card-game spin-off from a mini-game of the same name found within <em>The Witcher 3<\/em>. There\u2019s probably a really interesting article to be done on mini-games \u2013 I spent just as much time playing <em>Final Fantasy 8<\/em>\u2019s card mini-game, as well as <em>Final Fantasy 10<\/em>\u2019s Blitzball, as I spent playing their respective \u2018main\u2019 games.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"center\" title src=\"http:\/\/www.sickgaming.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/gwent-the-witcher-card-game-is-coming-to-ios-later-this-year.png\" alt=\"Gwent Mobile\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\"><\/p>\n<p><em>GWENT<\/em> then has a lot going for it, although its interesting that despite releasing in October last year on PC (Console version landed in December), there\u2019s not been a lot of conversation around it. How well it\u2019s doing compared to its contemporaries on the market is anyone\u2019s guess, although doing a cursory google search reveals causes for concern.<\/p>\n<p>Still, it must be doing well enough for CDProjecktRED to want to follow through with their pans to bring the game to mobile. We thought we\u2019d have heard about this sooner, but then if it isn\u2019t doing that well, you can hardly blame them from being reluctant to look at new platforms.<\/p>\n<p>At the moment, all we know that it\u2019s coming to iOS this year, although they specifically only reference smartphones, which is a bit odd.
