If you're on the hunt for a thrilling new deckbuilder, you're in for a treat. The critically acclaimed RPG, Gordian Quest, is making its way to mobile devices sooner than you might think. Mark your calendars for March 27th, as that's when you can dive into the party-based roguelike 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 spans the cursed fantasy world of Wrendia, from Westmire to the Sky Imperium. You have the freedom to assemble a team of heroes from ten unique classes, including Swordhand, Druid, and Golemancer. As with any deckbuilder, expect a vast array of skills—nearly 800, along with passives that can significantly change your approach to the game. Add to that an assortment of items and loot to equip your heroes, and a variety of randomized maps, dungeons, and skill combinations waiting to be explored.
But wait, there's more! Gordian Quest doesn't stop at the campaign. It also features two additional modes. Realm Mode provides an endlessly replayable roguelite experience with ever-changing threats and rewards. On the other hand, Adventure Mode caters to those who've mastered the game, offering solo challenges and even more procedurally-generated areas to explore.
It's evident where Gordian Quest draws its inspiration from, blending classic deckbuilding with the iconic D20 roll system beloved by CRPG fans. This isn't to detract from its originality, but rather to highlight that it promises to be a delightful experience for genre enthusiasts.
