Hey Heroes,
We've been hard at work on Gordian Quest since our last alpha release in July - and we're absolutely looking forward to showcasing all the changes and improvements, but after some thought we've decided to give it a bit more shine and polish before we release the very first public Early Access.
Initially we were gunning for 19th December 2019.
The new revised date is 20th January 2020.
Our sincere apologies for the 1 month postponement.
A delay? Bummer.
No one likes delays, but we think this is only right as we are driven by two very simple philosophies.
- We are 100% committed to making Gordian Quest the best deck-building rogue-like game possible, and that means taking the extra time to make sure everything is as perfect (as Early Access titles go) as can be. This will allow you, the player, to be able to give us feedback on the things that really matter, rather than be stuck on teething issues figuring out how things work.
- We respect you as the customer. We aren't here to make a quick buck, and we want to ensure that the dollars you spend supporting us when we do release is well spent, and will be worth its value a dozen times over when we bring this game to completion.
This better be worth the wait. So... what's new?
- Great question. And one we're happy to show and tell. In the weeks leading up to our Early Access release, we will be posting tidbits and snippets of the game in action, focusing on the various mechanics. We hope that these will give you better insight into our production process, a glimpse at the bigger vision we have, and whet your appetite for some crunchy tactical action.
What can I expect from Gordian Quest, again?
- Ah yes, the elevator pitch. We call it an epic roguelike that combines the best elements of deckbuilding, tactical combat and strategic decision-making. You lead and manage heroes on grueling missions, forging bonds and discovering new skills among them. Your aim is to unravel curses laid upon the lands and defeat the ultimate evil at the heart of it all.
- It's a four-parter (EA will contain Act 1) that will bring you across various cities and environments, and we'll be expanding that with more heroes, skills, and items as the game grows. "Epic" isn't in the description for show.
- If you enjoy tabletop RPGs, action RPGs, card games, tactical RPGs, or dungeon crawlers, you'll find a little of everything in here, and a potent mix at that. If that doesn't excite you, we don't know what will!

Sounds sweet!
We hope so! With your feedback and support, we aspire to make Gordian Quest into one of the greats. Thank you so much for reading this, and keep your eyes peeled for incoming updates! And sorry for the delay!
Sincerely,
The Gordian Quest Team
