The award-winning development team Yogscast Games and their publishing partner Gamersky Games have announced the release date for the action-strategy game The Gate Must Stand. Following the great success of their previous titles (Border Pioneer and Stray Path) achieved last year, this will be another collaboration that will combine memorable gameplay and a structure that will be replayable.
The Gate Must Stand is set during the last defense of the kingdom of Belrak, where players will take on the role of a desperate army that must confront endless waves of enemies and things with too many teeth. Part tower defense, survivors-like, and pure action roguelite, The Gate Must Stand will task us with building defenses, deploying armies, and fighting to survive another night.
Each new playthrough allows us to hire and upgrade new heroes, craft defenses, and unlock abilities that will help us in destroying enemy waves that will become larger, stranger, and scarier. Our success will depend not only on survival but also on adapting and balancing between short-term survival and long-term strategy.
Visually, the game will combine a dark fantasy atmosphere with large battles that will create a sense of escalation as they push the player towards inevitable disaster. Heroes can fall, entire units can be wiped out, careful plans can fall into panic and fire, but the gates must hold!
"The Gate Must Stand absolutely combines the balance of glory and despair. One minute you can calmly build defenses, and the next you’re running across the battlefield to prevent everything from collapsing. It’s all stressful, chaotic, and extremely satisfying, and I can’t wait for players to experience this." said Simon Byron, the CEO of Yogscast Games.
