Aether Sky Expands Its Strategy Roguelite to iOS and Android for the First Time
The world of Gordian Quest is about to expand as Aether Sky officially brings its critically acclaimed deck-building RPG to mobile devices.
Launching on March 27, 2025, the game will be available on iOS and Android, allowing players to experience its deep strategy, roguelike mechanics, and tactical deckbuilding on the go.
Previously available on PC, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch, Gordian Quest has drawn comparisons to classics like Slay the Spire and Ultima, blending turn-based RPG combat, procedural generation, and meaningful player choices into an experience that evolves with every run.
Aether Sky’s First Major Publishing Release
While Aether Sky has previously partnered with significant IPs like Doctor Who, Warhammer 40K, and Game of Thrones, this marks a significant milestone as their first exclusive publishing release.
“Bringing Gordian Quest to mobile has been an exciting journey,” says Justin Ost, Founder of Aether Sky. “We’re eager for mobile players to dive into the game’s unique mix of modes, heroes, and challenges, whether they’re new to the title or seasoned adventurers.”
Classic RPG Meets Roguelite Strategy
In Gordian Quest, players assemble a team of unique heroes battling across a dark fantasy world cursed by malevolent forces.
Using a deckbuilding system, players customize their team’s abilities, gear up with loot and relics, and make game-changing choices that determine their journey’s fate.
The mobile release offers multiple game modes, including:
- 🛡️ Campaign Mode – A four-act story-driven adventure through the cursed lands of Wrendia.
- ⚔️ Realm Mode – A roguelite deckbuilding challenge with ever-changing battles and high replayability.
- 🎲 Adventure Mode – A procedurally generated sandbox for players who want self-directed challenges.
- 👥 Ten Unique Heroes – Including the Swordhand, Druid, Golemancer, and more.
- 🃏 Hundreds of Skills – Nearly 800 passive and active abilities for deep strategy customization.
- 💎 Loot and Relics – Equip heroes with powerful gear and buffs.
- 🏆 High Replayability – Randomized dungeons, maps, and choices ensure no two runs are the same.
How to Play on Mobile
📱 Gordian Quest will be free-to-play, with an optional one-time purchase unlocking the full game.
Players can also enjoy Realm Mode—the fast-paced, Slay the Spire-inspired roguelite mode—for free, giving them a taste of the game’s depth before committing.

For those attending GDC 2025 in San Francisco (March 17-21), Aether Sky will be showcasing the mobile version.
