Agreed. Maybe some sort of MOBA? I don't see why that would be mobile exclusively though. It's probably a f2p card battler with loads of iAP and timers. Maybe CD projekt red had some say in it, which would give me more hope for a decent game.
Correct, it is a MOBA. http://www.appspy.com/news/8707/the-witcher-battle-arena-brings-the-fantasy-series-to-ios-as-a-moba
This is so awesome. I recently became a fan of The Witcher series having just started the 2nd game a few weeks ago. Fell in love with the lore so I've begun reading the books as well. Additionally, MOBA's have always seemed up my alley but I don't have a PC, just an iPad, so this is like a dream come true. So stoked!
