Should’ve stayed on PC: For any of our readers that have ever played an RTS, you’ll know.Yaaay… fun… *imaging confetti dropping from the ceiling and a totally out of tune horn blowing here*. Constantly amassing more and more units into your group until the enemy is no more. You form a death ball, and just, roll over the entire field. For the rest, combat isn’t really that overwhelming either. So if you aren’t counting your cards, you might end up mid-battle locked out of your command, and seeing your forces dwindle down because they have NO BRAINS AT ALL. Why? Because during the deck reshuffle, you cannot perform any actions, at all! But the game will continue. Which is a nice addition… If it wasn’t for the 15 seconds or so downtime that it uses, kind of holding you hostage. Is your Card (Glyph) pool empty? No worries, the game will shuffle them back in again. You throw down your cards (Glyphs in this case) and summon more and more muppets. Booooring: When you’re going to be playing Golem Gates, you’ll come to find that the missions are almost always the same, find X and destroy it.And then you’ve got the survival mode, where you got to survive against a constant stronger growing horde that will bash in against your defenses. This is a nice little addition, but that’s it. Here you get a predefined deck and with those units, you’ll have to get to the end. Fix problem A to continue with problem B. Meaningless game modes: Besides the regular campaign mode, you’ll also be able to pit yourself against some challenges.The post editing done to their lines, on the other hand, ruined it for me.
But does that really mean you’ve got to use the same voice box? I mean, come on… Give us something more than just… This! Sigh… And it’s not like the actors were phoning in their lines. The voice acting is actually nice to hear, but it sounds like they were all put through the same kind of voice filter. Voice acting: Okay, this is where I was thinking, should I put this point on good, or on mixed? Here’s why.The visual department, together with the audio department? You did a good job. Industrial and grungy, filthy yet with some evolution in the mix. It’s rough and totally meshes with what the game is trying to portray. The soundtrack is actually pretty good: Yup, for what its worth, Golem Gates ‘s soundtrack actually appealed to this ol’ stickler when it came down to the music.It’s just a shame that all that effort into making Golem Gates look good, wasn’t pulled into making the game actually feel good as well. The minute little details on your infantry, the way the light plays with its surroundings making shadows flicker. Those mid game moments where you receive your mission or when you’re going through your collection. A lot of time and dedication went into making this game look visually astonishing. Visuals!: The moment that I started the game all the way until I stopped playing it, one thing became quickly obvious.So, are you ready to embark on a dark and dreary quest and see if this hybrid game has got what it takes to be a decent and refreshing take on what is otherwise the RTS genre and Card game genre? Let’s find out in this review of, Golem Gates! I should’ve brought some sunscreen… It’s up to you to piece together your past and your future. But not all is what it seems, for you have no memories of who you are or what you can do. Your job? Eradicate the evil that is creeping into the world. Because, that’s what they actually are, brainless muppets for you to throw at the lions. You are the Harbinger and you command an army of muppets. What am I talking about, you’re probably wondering? Well wait no more, let me introduce Golem Gates. So obviously, I was more than happy when I got the opportunity to review a game that has not only a card based system but also some RTS spliced in between. As a person who loves to dabble in some Hearthstone, I have quite an affinity for card-based games.
