  1. [R25] Honor-Bound TCG CCG Card Quest 1/5 · US Bugs out the world: I remember playing this game and how good it was made me want to return to it but now there is so many bugs. I can’t upgrade my character, I can’t do researches, no leadership option, can’t upgrade anything in the game, and I’m stuck at lvl.10 with no progression nor can I upgrade my mines or coins. I get blank spots in my map. I tried restarting but it’s still the same problem
  2. [R42] Honor-Bound TCG CCG Card Quest 2/5 · GB Goods and bars!: Hello, I have been playing this game for 3yrs now and I had an amazing and bad experiences about this game. What’s good about this game? Well there are many heroes to collect and many of them has a unique skill. Always a event every single 2 weeks and you get to play the events with friends and guilds. This game is a very interactive game with other players and there are many dung
  3. [R47] Honor-Bound TCG CCG Card Quest 4/5 · US PLEASE FIX SO I CAN PLAY: This game is amazing, it’s entertaining, the gameplay is really fun and hits you with some of the greatest character design I’ve ever seen but there’s a bug that I think is effecting more than just me. In the research station when you click on the weird cyclops and the menu shows up it’s completely empty which means you can’t get ANY upgrades. Most annoyingly are the ones
  4. [R81] GWENT 4/5 · US Better than Witcher 3 Gwent: I was suprised when I got the game that it was a lot more involved than Gwent from the Witcher but after figuring out how to play it, it’s way more fun. You can be competitive without paying which is rare for a mobile game. There are tons of micro transactions which are all optional and mostly cosmetic which I think is annoying so I dropped it a star
  5. [R1] Honor-Bound TCG CCG Card Quest 1/5 · US Broken aspect ratio: Was looking for this game after I remembered having fun with it, tried playing and the aspect ratio won’t let me do leadership research. Wish I could actually play it.
  6. [R10] Honor-Bound TCG CCG Card Quest 1/5 · US So many glitches: You can’t pass the beginning of the game due to the research tutorial not working
  7. [R13] Honor-Bound TCG CCG Card Quest 1/5 · US Research and aspect bug: Used to be one of my favorite games but now it is unplayable because of the aspect ratio and i cant even do research because the important things i need to research are off of the screen and it is impossible to select it
  8. [R36] Honor-Bound TCG CCG Card Quest 2/5 · US Phone size Compatibility: I use to play this game years ago on my tablet when I was a kid now I’m playing on the iPhone one of the issue with the game is that the display of game is zoomed in too much. After I completed the tutorial it asked me to research but it wouldn’t let me because it was zoomed in and off screen so I couldn’t research. Please fix this problem for phones I would love to conti
  9. [R2] Honor-Bound TCG CCG Card Quest 5/5 · US thanks for fixing the research bug: .
  10. [R3] Honor-Bound TCG CCG Card Quest 3/5 · US PLEASE FIX THE GLITCH: Hello, I was really big fan of this game a couple of years ago. I got very far on the game until one day the game erased all my progress and I was forced to start over. I am trying to come back there are still many issues like the glitches/ issues with the screen when transitioning from the element gate (transition screen ) and any scene following it especially on the home p
  11. [R4] Honor-Bound TCG CCG Card Quest 1/5 · US Real buggy now: I found the game after many years of looking for it and when I play it it’s freezes and doesn’t let me log in to get my old characters back please fix it asap
  12. [R23] Honor-Bound TCG CCG Card Quest 5/5 · US Very fun for free: However you do really start to run out of energy a lot later in the game
  13. [R34] Honor-Bound TCG CCG Card Quest 1/5 · US Scammed me out of $20: I bought an in app purchase and it didn’t work
  14. [R66] GWENT 3/5 · US Would be better if paid once: A lot of pay to win
  15. [R72] GWENT 3/5 · GB Adjust card costs: Very good game however to be even remotely competitive you have to invest considerable amounts of cash. For the casual player it’s impossible to ever craft enough variety of decks and still be competitive. Even an adjustment in card cost such as 400 scrap per legendary instead of 800 would be hugely more beneficial.
  16. [R50] Honor-Bound TCG CCG Card Quest 1/5 · GB So many bugs: I tried finding help desk but no use. The game keep freezing. when your doing the beginning walkthrough like research there nothing to research so you have to restart the game to get out of the frozen screen. If the creators see this comment please go though this game and fix the bugs
  17. [R58] Honor-Bound TCG CCG Card Quest 1/5 · GB IPhone X and customer service: So I bought an iPhone X and quickly downloaded this game, and old favourite of mine. Upon downloading I found all of my details lost, which I wasn’t too worried about, I’ll just start again, right? Well problem is that the research won’t work in IPhone X. I have also messaged the customer services, twice, several months apart. Each time I get a very vague half bother
  18. [R69] GWENT 3/5 · GB Great, when it actually works: Gwent is a great game and fun to play. I’ve only had it for a few days but it now keeps throwing the “Unsupported version” error whenever I try to open it. I’ve already tried refreshing the app store for updates and restarting my phone, neither fixed the issue. I also can’t seem to report the technical problem to app because it refuses to let me report a quality iss
  19. [R108] GWENT 1/5 · GB All my progress lost suddenly, no help.: I started playing in July 2022, made progress and got rewards etc, got to about level 29 and in October without warning the game reset me back to level 1, no explanation, no help from CDPR, nobody could explain or help and the routes for help are awful, I kept being sent round in circles, trying to get past autobots which couldn't help. Terrible experience
  20. [R12] Honor-Bound TCG CCG Card Quest 3/5 · US Great Rouge-Like, However…: Look before I say anything, it should be noted that HonorBound is a great game, in fact it was the first Rouge-Like I had ever played. However it doesn’t really work anymore, the game is broken on iPhone X and above, as in research is bugged, everything except for the last tab is completely inaccessible. Now I’m not hating on the game, in fact I still respect it a lot,
  21. [R16] Honor-Bound TCG CCG Card Quest 1/5 · US Won’t fit screen: Sadly game won’t fit my iPhone 12 screen no clue on how to fix that in in-game settings hope it gets fixed so it’s easier to navigate
  22. [R70] GWENT 1/5 · US Too complicated.: I wanted to play Gwent as it’s played with in the Witcher 3. Not tryna learn how to play a different version
  23. [R73] GWENT 1/5 · US Nothing like in the video game☹️: Very disappointing.
  24. [R76] GWENT 1/5 · US This isn’t Gwent: Not quite sure what they were going for here but this isn’t Gwent by any means. Misrepresented game for a money grab. Dont care how the game plays because right at the top is a lie of what this game is. Not one aspect of this game reminds me of Gwent. Nothing is the same. Different look. Different mechanics. Diff hand size. Diff rules. Diff cards. Literally nothing is Gwent. Cd
  25. [R80] GWENT 1/5 · US Not Gwent: As others have noted, this is not the gwent of witcher 3. P2W
  26. [R94] GWENT 1/5 · US Trash: This game is an unbalanced piece of trash. It’s fun for the first few hands and once you get past the starter deck it’s fun to build you hand and play against harder players, but once you start to get into the higher ranks it becomes clear the only way you’ll be able to progress is by buying card packs. Right around rank 20 you hit a wall were you’re going to lose every game because your op
