What is Gordian Quest?

A party-based deckbuilding RPG with turn-based tactical combat, set in a fantasy land corrupted by a curse. You choose three of ten heroes, assemble their skill cards, equip and train them, and fight through a four-act campaign; separate modes cover randomized roguelite realms, procedurally generated endgame areas, solo challenges, and one-on-one player matches.

For you if...

+you want card battles built around a three-hero party
+you prefer a long campaign over mandatory repeated runs
+you also want roguelite and player-versus-player modes

Not for you if...

−you dislike managing cards, gear, stats, and skill trees
−you want every mode built around short roguelike runs
−you want action combat instead of turn-based planning

What players say

Players praise the range of hero builds, party synergies, and equipment customization. Common complaints describe repetitive combat once a deck is settled, a generic story, uneven balance, and menus or mechanics that can be cumbersome or poorly explained.
