Gameplay
Human defenders and their faithful robot allies must fend against two opposing alien factions – a race of warlike demonic invaders and their advanced angelic rivals. Trapped in this relentless war for dominance and survival, you’ll need to perfect your real-time strategy skills.

Take charge of one of three factions, the Human Vanguard, Infernal Host, or the Celestial Armada, as you put your combat and strategic skills to the test. Whether you opt to team up with friends and go head-to-head against challenging AI bots in co-op, or challenge yourselves on the global competitive stage, you’ll need to command a roster of legendary heroes.
Engineered utilising Unreal Engine 5, Stormgate delivers players a unique RTS gaming experience with plenty of responsive silky-smooth gameplay and access to global servers. What’s more, in the dedicated Editor (set to release during the EA period), you can create your very own gameplay with custom maps, mods, and even game modes. All of which you can share with the community.
