Have you ever heard of The Witcher? For the gaming community, this popular game series is probably quite familiar, right? However, today we won’t be exploring this famous series, but rather another fascinating variation. This game is called Reigns: The Witcher, a monster hunter version with a unique gameplay style.
Introduce about Reigns: The Witcher
Reigns is known as a rather interesting game genre with swipe-left/right controls similar to the popular Tinder app that appeared in 2016. Some famous games in this genre include Reigns: Her Majesty, Reigns: Three Kingdoms, Reigns: Game of Thrones… And the game Reigns: The Witcher that we want to introduce today also belongs to this genre. So what’s so interesting about the monster hunter version of Reigns? Let’s find out!
Background
Overall, Reigns: The Witcher simply recounts a part of the wandering journey of the hunter Geralt. If you’re familiar with The Witcher series, you can’t forget this hunter’s nickname – the Butcher of Rivia. In the game, we play as Geralt, accompanied by his friend, the musician Dandelion, on many exciting adventures. This is both a story about the hunter’s journey and a work of art told by his friend, the musician Dandelion.
Gameplay
As mentioned above, Reigns: The Witcher belongs to the Reigns RPG genre, so it’s quite similar to other games of the same genre that we’ve introduced before. Here, we become the monster hunter Geralt, but not in the explosive action and combat of the original work. Instead, we simply make decisions.
Once the story begins, you’re placed in various situations, and your task is to swipe left to refuse or right to agree to them. Of course, this can lead the story in a new direction and affect your character’s stats. Don’t let any of these stats drop to zero. If that happens, Geralt’s journey will come to a halt.
Start with the cards
The situations and characters in Reigns: The Witcher are represented by playing cards. Here is some information about them:
- Character Cards: Here you can meet familiar characters from The Witcher series such as the beautiful witch Triss Merigold, Yennefer of Vengerberg, or Witcher Vesemir, and even a cow… These characters usually appear in a situation with only a few brief dialogues.
- Situational/Event Cards: These are simply situations you encounter on your journey. This could be scenes of people being attacked by monsters, being robbed, being falsely accused, escort missions, or simply deciding whether to rest or continue. The choices you make when encountering these cards often significantly impact the story and your subsequent journey.
Go further in Reigns: The Witcher
Typically, each day in Reigns: The Witcher presents a different situation. Of course, today’s decisions can influence tomorrow’s events. And to progress further on this journey, we need to pay attention to the game’s stats. In the game, these stats are displayed as icons:
- Humanity: This can be considered an indicator of Geralt’s good reputation. Doing good deeds increases it, while poor performance can decrease it. Certain situations can cause this stat to drop to zero, leading to Geralt being misunderstood as a villain and ending the game.
- Storytelling: The Dandelion’s popularity determines whether Geralt’s story is interesting or not. Of course, if it’s too boring, the game ends because the wandering musician will leave and there will be no more storyteller.
- Fate: Your choices can change the fate and destiny of many things. This can be considered an indicator of the level of danger in this world.
- Witcher’s Path: Simply put, this is Geralt’s vitality and fighting ability. It increases when you are well-prepared, decreases when injured, and drops to zero, ending the game.
Things to note when playing Reigns: The Witcher
Known as a game in the Reigns genre, there are a few things to keep in mind when playing Reigns: The Witcher:
- Higher stats aren’t always better. You should aim for average stats to progress further on this journey. For example, Dandelion’s excessive praise of Geralt can overstate his abilities, leading to tasks that are too difficult for the hunter and always resulting in a bad outcome.
- With a large number of cards, each game is very random, so don’t get frustrated by a journey filled with nonsensical stories and events.
