The soldiers you have access to, including named characters, vary over the course of the game depending on Meve’s actions. Your choices feed back into the card game as well. There is no good decision, just the decision you make. You direct her around in a mostly linear fashion, coming across story events every 20 or 30 seconds. The realm is represented as a hand-drawn map, and Meve stands in for her entire army.
And not just battles against Nilfgaard, but any fights-bandits, ghosts and ghouls, trolls, and so on. Meve’s realm is under threat from The Witcher’s perennial baddies, the Nilfgaardian Empire, forcing her to meet them on the battlefield to defend her realm.īattles are Gwent matches though. In Thronebreaker you play as Queen Meve, ruler of Lyria and Rivia. Wrap a story around them though, and you might hold my attention-especially a story as well-written as this. Using those mechanics in a multiplayer context isn’t very interesting to me. I’m not a huge fan of card games, not a big Hearthstone player and not really looking forward to Valve’s upcoming Artifact. It’s a spin-off of a spin-off, but I’m much more interested in Thronebreaker conceptually than I am Gwent proper. But CD Projekt also teased a singleplayer campaign built around Gwent, a project that eventually became Thronebreaker.
