Similarly, if/when you play Zark City (a much simpler easier game, by the way!), don't carry over any preconceptions, even though the games look superficially similar (pyramids on a map of cards plus hands of cards). :)

Gnostica is tops with me, but I love Zark City!

To me, all of these games with pyramids on card "territories" (and they also include Pantopia and Alheimur with the Aquarius deck) constitute a genre, with differences as wide as what you can find among hex-and-counter wargames. They're not just Zarcana variants.
