Release Date: November 27, 2014
A digital adaptation of the board game set in the universe of The Witcher, created by Andrzej Sapkowski. Both the digital version in question and the physical original were developed by CD Projekt RED, the developers of the bestselling RPG series, in cooperation with Ignacy Trzewiczek, the CEO of Portal Games, a Polish table-top role-playing game publisher.
The Witcher Adventure Game for PC, AND and iOS is a CD Projekt RED’s digital adaptation of the board game published by Fantasy Flight Game. The rules of both editions were created by Ignacy Trzewiczek, the CEO of Portal, and the author of such board games’ classics as Stronghold, Witchcraft, Convoy, or Robinson Crusoe: Adventure on the Cursed Island.
The action takes place in the popular fantasy world created by Andrzej Sapkowski. The players can assume the role of Geralt, Triss Merigold, Dandelion, or the dwarven warrior – Yarpen Zigrin. In the game, we hunt monsters, complete contracts, solve puzzles, and interact with numerous characters known from the novels and cRPGs by CDPR. All of this is realized primarily by adventure cards that are drawn from a special deck, which ensures that no game is the same.
The Witcher Adventure Game was designed with between two and four players in mind. A standard session lasts for about two hours. The players may help each other, but there can be only one winner in the end. The rules were intended to be very easy to learn but also to offer a considerable depth for the more seasoned fans of board games. Each character requires applying different tactics. Geralt relies on his fencing skills, while Triss solves problems with magic; Dandelion sticks with diplomacy, and Yarpen can call other dwarves to help him. The character development system is another attraction. Thanks to it, Geralt can, for example, learn to brew potions or master the witcher Signs.
The Witcher Adventure Game for PC, AND and iOS offers pretty graphics that recreate the board games’ visual style, and enriches it with animations.

A side-scroller, a League of Legends-style MOBA, a browser-based battle game – the story of the digital Witcher encomes much more titles than we usually think, many of them forgotten despite the great success of the Wild Hunt.
October 1, 2019
In two months' time, an independent, full-length fantasy film will debut online. Big deal? Indeed, because it will be based on Sapkowski's prose. We met the creators and talked about this extraordinary production, created not with money, but ion.

Game Ratings for The Witcher Adventure Game Video Game.
Softpedia: 7 / 10 by Andrei Dobra
The Witcher Adventure game is a decent experience, but it's weighed down by its random nature and the lack of good early game options for less combat-heavy characters. Further balancing is needed, as is a more fleshed out first tutorial to ensure that newcomers aren't overwhelmed in their first match.
GamingTrend: 65 / 100 by Adam Kenney
For all of its faults, The Witcher: Adventure game for PC has an undeniable allure. The artwork is nice and evocative, and the focus on questing is appropriate to the theme. However, there are other games that come immediately to mind which accomplish the feeling of Witcher adventures and plot development better than this does. If you are a fan of the franchise, by all means, consider adding this game to your collection, as it will let you slide into the shoes of some of your favorite characters. For all others, look elsewhere for your adventuring and competitive needs.
Digital Chumps: 7.6 / 10 by Steven McGehee
A good value for a well designed and developed digital tabletop game set in one of gaming's most intriguing universes.
