The more detailed information is available if you look for it. Cant recommend if you’re playing on a phone. Needs a bigger screen. I also don’t expect to ever actually finish the campaign, because of the hidden mechanic where it randomly reverts your save file to a week prior losing all progress made for no apparent reason. There is no separate save data to go through that I’ve found. Wherever it loads you in is where you’re at. ### 5/5 — The greatest card game variant *2026-04-22, version 1.0.5* In this game, reading and strategy are both rewarded handsomely. This game may consume time, but that’s part of the story. Every run regardless of where you lose feels, unique, and honestly this is the most fun Ive had learning a video game ever. Thank you devs ### 1/5 — Unlock doesn’t work *2026-02-06, version 1.0.2* Purchased the Full Unlock but it didn’t unlock the content. Acknowledges the purchase, won’t let you purchase a second time, but still no dice. ### 1/5 — Restore purchase remains broken. *2026-02-05, version 1.0.2* Paid for the game, stuck with trial version. Restore purchase is once again broken. Don’t waste your money on this scam. ### 3/5 — iPad or pc only *2025-10-13, version 1.0.2* Probably a great game, but font is just too small on iPhone to play comfortably. ### 3/5 — Can’t select target *2025-09-30, version 1.0.2* As the title says. It is really annoying ### 5/5 — Incredible! *2025-09-13, version 1.0.2* Bought the upgrade after about 1 minute into the trial, truly great. So refreshing to get excellent gameplay, engaging story, & great art, with just a 1-time upgrade price that’s less expensive than many games’ season pass. Solid, strategic gameplay, ability to create fun builds, and interesting loot, with lots of replayability. Love the approach to Skill Trees! This is a 100% buy if you’re looking for fun, deep gameplay and are tired of predatory loot boxes, micro transactions, and season passes. Excellent work devs, will definitely keep an eye out for more projects from you! ### 1/5 — Post campaign game breaking bugs *2025-09-03, version 1.0.2* Overall it’s a fun game. However there are game breaking bugs that will make your saved game corrupt and unplayable. This has occurred 3 times after finishing the story campaign. After it occurs you can no longer access your saved game. ### 5/5 — Fun game, skill grid bug is ruining this for me *2025-08-25, version 1.0.2* Game is great, BUT skill grid leveling won’t let me go to the next grid. Not sure what the fix is, any suggestions would be great. ## Frequently asked questions about Gordian Quest ### What kind of game is Gordian Quest?
