Admit it, you’ve always wanted to blend together a bit of post-apocalyptic sci-fi action-strategy with some manic card battling. Well, that’s where Golem Gates comes in and today it is found launching on Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
Available to purchase and download right now on Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, with the game rocking up a few days back on PS4, Golem Gates from Laser Guided Games delivers card battling like never before.
With the team at Laser Guided Games having previously worked at Epic Games and Marvel, this RTS card combat hybrid is hugely anticipated by many, particularly after a decent launch on PC back in 2018, and that hype is felt even more with full 4K card gaming on Xbox One X. But what exactly will you be found doing? Well, pitting your conjured armies against otherworldly forces is the name of the game, all as an ancient threat surges from the Golem Gates, and only the Harbinger stands guard. By wielding the nanite-infused power of The Ash, it is left to you to protect a world ravaged by ancient wars. You’ll do this by choosing from 100 cards – Glyphs – and utilising them to unleash diverse units, buildings, buffs, and more in tactical combat across numerous game modes; single player, co-op, and online multiplayer.
Golem Gates will deal with randomized drawing and quick unit placement, and that in turn will mean you’ll have to adapt on the fly as you formulate your strategy. For example, you’ll need to add in more forces to a battle so that you can turn the tide, all whilst transforming a scouting party into an army, placing emergency defenses to respond to the enemy, or hiding an outpost in a direction the enemy doesn’t expect. The choices found in Golem Gates are numerous, but above all else, they are yours. Unfortunately, the enemy will be able to do the same and with the right Glyph your forces can be destroyed as fast as they were created.
Key Features of Golem Gates include:
- Choose your Glyphs: Customize your deck from dozens of units, buildings, traps, buffs, debuffs, and techs
- Streamlined tactics: Play cards/Glyphs directly into active combat and adapt at a moment’s notice to defend, flank, and fortify
- Hours of unique content: Single player campaign, challenge scenarios, solo/co-op survival, local and online multiplayer, and more
- Full 4K gaming on Xbox One X: Enjoy the gorgeous spectacle of science-fantasy warfare and screen-filling magical mayhem
