    Gordian Quest is a trio of genres that show what a good and balanced game looks like. It is certainly one of the better gaming experiences I have been through so far in 2022. It does have some minor issues, but nothing that will distract you from its terrific and balanced gameplay.

    Gordian Quest is a rare gem of an RPG that somehow manages to blend multiple genres into one game without making anything feel unwieldy.

    Gordian Quest draws inspiration from old-school RPGs, Dungeons & Dragons, and deck-builders like Slay the Spire, yet it proudly stands on its own. With deep, addictive gameplay and endless replayability with multiple play modes, Gordian Quest boldly blazes its own trail. It’s rare that a game can draw from so many sources and have the end product feel so refined, yet this game delivers in spades. I can’t recommend this game enough to fellow deck-builder and RPG lovers.

    Summary: If you are a fan of deckbuilding card battlers, with a dash of RPG, then Gordian Quest is the best of the bunch. While there are a few tutorial elements and stability challenges to attend to, the endless replayability and randomization element makes every run unique.

    Overall, Gordian Quest does a great job in implementing various gameplay elements and making them work together. While the Campaign Mode could have featured a better narrative and variety of activities, it still serves as a good entry point in the game as a long tutorial of sorts. From there, the game features a lot of replayability due to the number of classes and skills. As a deckbuilding RPG, Gordian Quest does a great job with the deckbuilding portion and is worth a look for fans of the genre.

    Overall, Gordian Quest is fun deck-builder that's similar to a Griftlands-style campaign that's absolutely packed with content. It goes all-in on the RPG elements, which is both its greatest strength and biggest flaw. It's not as addictive as some of the strongest games in the genre, but it's still fun to play. I wish the developers had trimmed off some of the fat, but since they didn't, it means that you're getting a game with tons of content for a very reasonable price.

    With inspirations like Ultima, Dungeons and Dragons, and other deckbuilding and roguelike titles, Gordian Quest will feel familiar to any card game fan. However, if you’re a seasoned deckbuilder looking for a hardcore strategic gameplay experience, be warned: the in-game difficulty can vary wildly from battle to battle, and at times combat feels a tad too easy. On top of this, Gordian Quest’s extra features make the overall gameplay experience a little unwieldy. With that said, if you enjoy a casual card game and are keen for some variety, Gordian Quest will likely keep you entertained with a range of enemies to defeat and story maps to explore.

    Gordian Quest sin duda es un juego excelente, uno de los mejores juegos de cartas para un jugador que he jugado y ya van unos cuantos. LaGordian Quest sin duda es un juego excelente, uno de los mejores juegos de cartas para un jugador que he jugado y ya van unos cuantos. La campaña no tiene una historia memorable, es cierto, pero cumple bien. Y fuera de eso, todo lo que es la jugabilidad, la diferencia entre los distintos personajes, la mejora de los mismos y las barajas, etc. Todo ello es simplemente inmejorable, y además tiene básicamente contenido infinito, siempre puedes ir haciendo más cosas, subiendo más niveles, haciendo dungeons y cosas así aleatorias y más difíciles. Los enemigos también están muy bien diseñados, con variedad de estilos y ataques. Y, finalmente, creo que es de los pocos juegos de cartas que consiguen hacer que el posicionamiento en el mapa de combate realmente sea muy significativo, interesante y divertido.

    Gráficamente el juego peca un poco en el sector de las animaciones, pero las ilustraciones de personajes y escenarios están muy bien. El sonido también cumple bien, con una música que acompaña bien a los eventos y efectos de sonido apropiados. Y, al menos en mi experiencia, no me he encontrado con ningún bug.

    Por todo ello, sin duda Gordian Quest es muy recomendable. Un 9.
