  1. [R2] GWENT 5/5 · US Dope game: Very easy and fun
  2. [R20] GWENT 5/5 · US CARE FOR A ROUND OF GWENT!?: Better than I expected it has the same feel of TW3 gwent and more in this game ,plus you can get everything in this game for free
  3. [R54] Castle Crush 1/5 · US POS: Unbalanced, unfair, waste of time, money grab, full of bots. Don't be fooled! No longer a reason to play.
  4. [R67] Castle Crush 1/5 · US Impossible to win: This game failed so badly to be a good and fair game, instead it’s filled with hackers who don’t know how to play the game with skill, plus you gotta pay to win to get somewhere and you still loose, honestly clash Royale is better at being a paid to win game and that says a lot, never would recommend playing this to anyone it’s not like the developer s will do anything about it
  5. [R1] GWENT 1/5 · US Not Accessible: Based on the type of game, there's absolutely no reason that it shouldn't be accessible for people who are visually impaired using voiceover
  6. [R51] Castle Crush 1/5 · US Horrible matchmaking: Paired me with someone way better I had three more cards and unlocked then I did
  7. [R60] Castle Crush 1/5 · US Don’t play if possible: If I could give this a 0 I would. The mechanics aren’t great and the game is basically made to for you to loose. You are constantly pit against castle levels wayyyyyy higjer than your own which has caused to go through multiple loss streaks despite the cards you choose
  8. [R21] GWENT 1/5 · US Constant disconnects: Constant disconnects that lead to defeats. iPad has solid connection, so it’s the app, for sure. Want to open some card packs? Too bad, unknown error occurred. Want to create a new deck and play it? So sorry, unknown issue has occurred, and the deck disappears. Want to play more than match? Sucks to be you, it won’t match make with anyone until you force close the app an
  9. [R27] GWENT 1/5 · US Fed up: I’ve been playing Gwent for years but not sure if I can continue. The game crashes and drops connection constantly on iOS. CDPR needs to fix whatever is causing this cause for now the app is going to the trash.
  10. [R57] Castle Crush 1/5 · US Many Cheaters and NFTs: I spent years building up cards just to loose to cheaters and people who buy cards I can’t even get. I was in a paid tournament, and a hacker beat me with cards that weren’t even in his deck. There are mana hacks and many other ways to cheat every honest player.
  11. [R90] Castle Crush 1/5 · US Worst game ever!!: You can only get to a certain amount of trophies then you are almost guaranteed to lose more than you will win with your current cards (like 5 losses to 1 win). Even with different combinations. Algorithm will purposely push you higher cards so you burn more cards and have no way of countering at the point. It’s definitely more one sided and not strategic at all. It forces you t
  12. [R42] GWENT 5/5 · US It’s fun: I’m very casual I’m not spending money, and I’m still having fun!
  13. [R74] Castle Crush 1/5 · US Horrible matchmaking, pay to win.: You won’t progress far unless you pay, otherwise you will always lose to people who paid to win. The matchmaking SUCKS
  14. [R77] Castle Crush 1/5 · US Worst Game OAT: This game is designed to make you loose, it’s just luck based and pay to win there’s no skill involved just makes you wanna cause self harm, the tournaments make you belive you can get all your gems back but they scale the price so much it’s impossible to actually win and they design it so you loose causing you to lose all your gems in hopes of you spending more money this has to b
  15. [R6] GWENT 3/5 · US Dr. Strange: Could have more support. Sometimes there’s no matches or you wait a long time before match starts.
  16. [R14] GWENT 4/5 · US Please Add Feature…: After a match has concluded, I want to know the cards I just played against…
  17. [R75] Castle Crush 1/5 · US Awful: Do not get this game. It is full of hacks . The developers do nothing about it. And there is a pay for card option….. most people either pay to play or are hackers. Not fun anymore
  18. [R100] Castle Crush 1/5 · US Too Many Hackers, Developers Dont Care: No maintenance in years and hackers run amok taking the fun out the game. Plus it takes decades to max out legendary cards
