The world of “The Witcher,” which gained recognition through games and Netflix dramas.
Geralt’s adventures reimagined from Dandelion’s perspective and card-swipe-based gameplay.
Global indie game publisher Devolver Digital and developer Nereal have collaborated with CD Projekt Red to unveil the newest installment in the swipe-based game series, “Reigns: The Witcher.” Set in the world of The Witcher, a franchise that has gained widespread recognition in Korea through games and the Netflix series, the game combines unique card-swipe gameplay with a unique setting.
The Legend of Geralt Unraveled Through Dandelion’s Exaggerated Narrative
Players embark on an adventure as the legendary monster hunter Geralt of Rivia. Unlike the original, however, the story unfolds not from Geralt’s own blunt perspective, but through the colorful and exaggerated narrative of his longtime friend and bard, Dandelion.
Every player’s choice becomes a poem, and even the smallest mistake is reborn into a grand narrative. Dandelion’s unique narrative style, blending reality and fiction, serves as the game’s core appeal, transforming even the most trivial errand into a heroic tale or an exaggerated catastrophe.
Destiny determined by a left-right swipe, thousands of narrative combinations
The gameplay follows the signature card-swipe mechanic of the “Reigns” series. Players face countless challenges across the continent, including contracts, conspiracies, angry villagers, and impetuous wizards, and their choices are determined with a single swipe.
Depending on your choices, you may gain the trust of nobles, incur the wrath of wizards, or even face the worst scenario: being surrounded by drowned corpses in a swamp. As is often the case with Witcher quests, few are simple. Players will weave their own unique Geralt legend through thousands of narrative combinations.
Character appearances and battle minigames for series fans
During the journey, familiar characters like Yennefer, Triss, and Vesemir appear, evoking nostalgia for fans of the series. As told through Dandelion’s mouth, their stories are also somewhat dramatized and reinterpreted.
Combat minigames are interspersed throughout the story, allowing players to battle monsters like ghouls and rotten fiends using card selection and simple controls. Even within the Dandelion-style narrative, the Witcher’s sword remains relentless.
From taverns to remote villages, players can expand Dandelion’s repertoire and spread new “masterpieces” across the continent. Twisting familiar tales into new legends, sometimes grandiose, sometimes comical, the game’s core enjoyment lies in crafting the White Wolf’s epic narrative.
The unique system of the ‘Rains’ series meets the Witcher IP.
Since its debut in 2016, the “Reigns” series has been beloved worldwide for its simple yet addictive card-swipe, selective gameplay. Its unique system puts players in control of a kingdom, challenging them to maintain balance among various factions.
This “Reigns: The Witcher” combines proven gameplay with the powerful IP of the Witcher series, promising to satisfy both existing Reigns and The Witcher fans. The game is particularly notable for its unique interpretation of the Witcher universe, featuring the character Dandelion as its narrator.
Simultaneous release on PC and mobile on February 25th
Neriel’s new game, “Reigns: The Witcher,” is scheduled for simultaneous release on PC and mobile platforms on February 25th. The game’s simple controls make it ideal for mobile gaming.
More detailed information can be found on the official website and the official Devolver Digital X account (@devolverkr). Gamers are paying close attention to how the new interpretation of the Witcher series and the original gameplay of the Reigns series will harmonize, and what kind of fun Dandelion’s exaggerated narrative will provide.
