After releasing on PC, PlayStation consoles and the Nintendo Switch, Gordian Quest will soon be available on mobile devices. Publisher Aether Sky and developer Mixed Realms has confirmed that the deckbuilding RPG will launch for free on iOS and Android this winter (or summer for us in the southern hemisphere).
Gordian Quest sets out to blend modern gameplay mechanics with roguelite features and turn-based combat, drawing inspiration from classic RPGs like Ultima and Dungeons & Dragons. Set in a world plagued by a dark curse, players must assemble a team of heroes and develop their skills as they navigate through dangerous lands filled with monsters.
The mobile version will offer players most of the game’s Realm Mode for free, allowing them to experience its strategic combat and roguelite mechanics. The full game can be unlocked with a single purchase.
Justin Ost, Founder of Aether Sky, shared his excitement about the upcoming mobile release, sharing:
We’re honoured to be a part of bringing Gordian Quest to mobile platforms. It is a fantastic game and we hope mobile players enjoy the challenge of beating each Mode with the wide variety of classes and builds.
