With the efforts of the full PC launch of Gordian Quest on Steam out of the way, Mixed Realms is preparing to launch a Kickstarter campaign on July 23rd in an effort to bring the game to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and possibly Xbox Series X/S. This campaign will greatly assist the small Singapore-based team in their endeavor to bring this unique, highly-replayable adventure to as many platforms as possible.
“We’ve had a successful release on PC with over 90% positive rating on Steam and are excited to now bring Gordian Quest to console. We would like to give console owners interested in the game an opportunity to pick it up for a good discount along with other rewards through the Kickstarter campaign and at the same time help defray the costs of our porting efforts.” Aldric Chang, CEO.
The Gordian Quest Kickstarter campaign has a primary goal of $25,000 USD to help fund both the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 ports and some stretch goals for things like skins and weapons, a new island on the map, and even a port to Xbox Series X/S.
There are several support tiers and rewards to incentivize supporters. Alongside receiving a digital copy of the game, backers could also get their names in the game credits, design an item or event, digital goodies, or even get the chance to name an NPC!
Early Bird backers who want to purchase Gordian Quest for PC can receive a Steam key for only $15 USD for a limited time once the campaign is live. The current retail price for the PC version is $19.99, so this would be a great way to get the game for cheap while supporting the campaign.
Gordian Quest is an epic RPG deck-building game inspired by old-school classics like Ultima and Dungeons and Dragons, using modern gaming concepts like rogue-lite elements and turn-based strategic combat. Form parties of heroes whom you will have to lead and manage on grueling missions. Help them forge bonds and discover new skills. Guide them through battles against multitudes of creatures as you work to unravel the curses laid upon the lands and defeat the ultimate evil at the heart of it all.
Features:
Unique card progression system: A blend of the customization opportunities of action RPGs with thoughtful deck-building.
Variety of heroes: Recruit ten heroes, each with their own unique class, skills, and playstyle, to form a party of three and bring to the adventure. Play as the Swordhand, Cleric, Ranger, Scoundrel, Spellbinder, Druid, Bard, Warlock, Golemancer, or the Monk.
Hundreds of skills: The large variety of passive and active skills that can be deployed during turn-based battles allows players to discover and formulate their favorite combos.
Choices matter: Shape the course of your adventure with critical decisions and dice rolls.
Synergy system: Build up synergy between pairs of heroes through interactions in-game, allowing them to perform team combos.
Multiple game modes: A variety of ways for players to experience and replay the game – a rogue-lite Realm Mode, a long-form Campaign and Adventure Mode, and a 2-player PvP mode.
Customizable difficulty: Five levels of challenges ranging from Easy to Torment, plus togglable permadeath options that allow players to tailor their journey to their preference.
High replayability: Procedurally generated maps, dungeons, and randomized hero skills make each playthrough unique, and players will get rewarded across multiple game modes. Players can expect each run to last about half an hour in Realm Mode to more than 30 hours of gameplay in the long-form modes.
