Gordian Quest, an epic roguelite deckbuilding RPG inspired by classics like Ultima and Dungeons & Dragons, is set to launch as a free-to-play title on mobile platforms later this year.

This release marks the game's first exclusive mobile debut, allowing players to access most of the content initially, with an option to make a single purchase to unlock the full version and remove ads.

The porting process involved adapting controls for touchscreen devices, enhancing UI compatibility, and conducting extensive testing across various mobile platforms.

In an interview, Justin Ost, Founder of Aether Sky, and Aldric Chang, CEO of Mixed Realms, shared insights into the game's development and the challenges faced during the porting process.

Gordian Quest draws significant inspiration from games like Dungeons and Dragons, Path of Exile, and Slay the Spire, blending elements of party-based adventuring with deck-building synergies.

The game is expected to be available on both iOS and Android this Winter, with plans to distribute it on alternative platforms and app stores.

Future updates for Gordian Quest may introduce a multiplayer Skirmish Mode and additional content based on player feedback.

The decision to bring Gordian Quest to mobile was largely driven by player demand and the observation of a lack of direct competitors in the mobile gaming market.

What sets Gordian Quest apart in the mobile landscape is its high quality, expansive gameplay, and extensive character customization options.
