If you're on the hunt for a new deckbuilding experience, you're in for a treat. The critically acclaimed RPG, Gordian Quest, is set to launch on mobile devices sooner than you might expect. Mark your calendars for March 27th, as that's when you can dive into this captivating blend of classic RPG mechanics and modern roguelite action on both iOS and Android. Let's delve into what developer Mixed Realms has prepared for us.
In Gordian Quest, you'll embark on an epic four-act campaign that will take you across the cursed fantasy realm of Wrendia, from Westmire to the Sky Imperium. You have the freedom to assemble a team of heroes from ten distinct classes, including Swordhand, Druid, or Golemancer, each bringing unique abilities to your party.
As expected from a game in this genre, Gordian Quest offers an extensive array of almost 800 skills and passives, allowing you to customize your playstyle significantly. Beyond skills, there's a wealth of items and loot to equip your heroes with, along with a variety of randomized maps, dungeons, and skill combinations to explore.
More than just a campaign
But the excitement doesn't stop with the main campaign. Gordian Quest also includes two additional modes to keep the adventure going. Realm Mode offers an endlessly replayable roguelite experience, with ever-changing threats and rewards to keep you on your toes. Adventure Mode, on the other hand, caters to those who master the game, providing solo challenges and even more procedurally-generated areas to explore.
It's evident where Gordian Quest draws its inspiration, combining deckbuilding with the familiar D20 roll popularized by CRPGs. This fusion doesn't diminish the game's appeal; instead, it promises a fun and engaging experience for fans of the genre.
