I would describe Gordian quest as a rogue-lite deckbuilding experience. Unlike rogue like games that define the genre, Gordian quest provides players with a high degree of control over what is in and what is not in the deck. firstly, one can choose, for most part, what cards are in the deck, while in traditional rogue like games, keeping a trim deck is a matter of chance, which makes card removal valuable. secondly, the game allows one within reason, the ability to change out cards in one's decks if they so desire. overall, this results in a game where one builds towards their desired deck as the game progresses, rather than being forced by the appearance of lack thereof of key cards in to play certain decks. This by no means makes the game bad, it just makes it a lot more forgiving of deckbuilding mistakes than others in the genre. The story of the game is passable, with the main selling point the large variety of builds one can experience with the many heroes and their combinations in the game.
