  1. [R2] Card Evolution 4/5 · US 3 star: It’s a fun game but it ends at level 40 if you finish all of the competitive rounds and there’s only 60 cards I would really give it a 3 if my review didn’t get removed
  2. [R3] Card Evolution 3/5 · US Ok game: The game is not great but not bad the reason I gave it 3stars is because there’s not really anything todo other than get cards and sometimes l get really bored

  4. [R27] Card Evolution 3/5 · US The ad was a lie: In the ad, it said it was football cards and packs but when I download the game and check it out, it’s Pokémon and I like football packs more than Pokémon
  5. [R5] Card Evolution 5/5 · US Best car game ever: Just download it and play for about like five minutes i’m already addicted like it’s so fun. You can open card packet. You get a pick how much the price is and it’s so so yeah you should download it.
  6. [R11] Card Evolution 5/5 · US You should get it: It’s so fun
  7. [R15] Card Evolution 3/5 · US Let me tap: The game was good but I couldn’t tap to win a battle
  8. [R18] Card Evolution 3/5 · US Good game but could use some work: It’s a good game but the only skin I can do levels with is the common baby cow ( that’s what I’m gonna call it). And I want to play with my Heirloom skins that I have! You only have Heirloom skins for battle? Laaaaaaaaaaaame. The game is also fairly glitchy. It’s a good game,but it’d be better if you would fix the things I listed. Thx. -KylioRozbo
  9. [R28] Card Evolution 1/5 · US Three words: game is broken
  10. [R31] Card Evolution 2/5 · US AI: I have never AI generated images this bad
  11. [R34] Card Evolution 1/5 · US Not working: I unlocked a mega rare card (pikachu) but then it banned me because of “modding”. What the heck guys.
  12. [R6] Card Evolution 3/5 · US So so: To many ad’s
  13. [R12] Card Evolution 3/5 · US Not that good of a game: I would rate this game a higher rating but there's just one problem, the game is more ads than the actual game itself.
  14. [R13] Card Evolution 2/5 · US The ads when you buy start value and resell price is anonoying: The games kinda good

  16. [R30] Card Evolution 3/5 · US Ads: I bought no ads and there’s still ads? What?
  17. [R63] GWENT 3/5 · US Fun but cards aren’t as good: Games okay but was expecting Witcher 3 Gwent and got somthing else entirely so I uninstalled rather play Gwent on Witcher 3 it’s okay if you want Gwent but haven’t seen a card over 10
  18. [R78] GWENT 3/5 · US Doesn’t play like Witcher: Game seems alright but it doesn’t play like the game it’s copied from…. Gwent starts with 10 cards and some abilities that let you draw more or revive fallen cards. You don’t get new cards each round and you also have 3 tier levels with elements being able to reduce or raise battle points. Idea is there with complexity, but idk why they don’t follow the game more. It’s
  19. [R82] GWENT 1/5 · US Why: Why would you ruin Gwent like this? It’s not anything like Gwent in the Witcher 3 game... like not even remotely. And the card game originated in the Witcher 3. You ruined the card game with this.
  20. [R93] GWENT 3/5 · GB Not the same game as in The Witcher 3: I love Gwent in the Witcher 3. Was looking forward to playing this. But why they’ve called it the same name I’ve no idea. It is not the same game. All the cards are different with different abilities. There’s only 2 rows instead of 3 You get to draw 3 cards after every round. Where as you don’t in the Witcher 3 Also it seems you can play as many card
  21. [R66] GWENT 3/5 · US Dr. Strange: Could have more support. Sometimes there’s no matches or you wait a long time before match starts.
  22. [R70] GWENT 1/5 · US Not Working: Not working 2026
  23. [R75] GWENT 3/5 · US Speechless about the constant reconnecting: Why does it have to reconnect so often? It's the same whether I use a VPN or not. I'm really fed up. The game is fun, but the constant reconnecting is annoying. · translated
  24. [R81] GWENT 3/5 · US Game problems?: I just downloaded the game and made it through the tutorial. Now I really like the Witcher game and I was interested in Gwent because it’s the only card game I’ve enjoyed playing in games. So I got the app so I can play more. Unfortunately I am unable to play anything since even though I just downloaded the game I get a pop up saying I can’t connect to servers since the version I a
