This game is nothing like Wizardry & Ultima.

Now I don't have the game, and I am not bashing the game, I hope it's great and developer makes a lot of money. BUT the marketing blurb is pure nostalgia baiting. This does not look like or play like Wizardry or Ultima. I clicked this game because I saw it on the front page, than I read the description and got interested, but than I saw what it actually was (rouge like, deck building, etc.) You guys are free of course to write whatever you want, but the first half of that description really makes no sense.

Hi @Zapmaster, this is our description - "An epic RPG inspired by old-school classics like Ultima and Wizardry, using modern gaming concepts like deckbuilding and turn-based strategic combat. Lead and nurture parties of heroes. Forge bonds and discover new skills among them. Journey forth and unravel the ancient curses set upon your land."

With all due respect, we are not saying that Gordian Quest looks like or plays like Wizardry or Ultima. We are saying that those games inspired us. Some of us are from that era, where we grew up playing SSI and Origin classics. And when we develop a RPG, we naturally draw inspiration from them.

How we were inspired was that we inserted elements like party based adventuring, turn-based fighting and loot collecting in Gordian Quest, features that made the old school RPGs so charming in our opinion. However, they are adapted differently which can be seen from our video or the playthrough videos by fans on Youtube.

We apologize if you got the wrong impression, but I hope it is clear it wasn't our intention to say that Gordian Quest plays like Wizardry and Ultima with this explanation :)

Thanks for writing up a detailed explanation. I still think it's a stretch to use either of those games as examples of major inspiration here, but at the end of the day it's just some text. No big deal, just wanted to mention it because it kind of surprised me when I looked at the gameplay videos. I might try the game eventually too. Best of luck.
