Laser Guided Games is a relatively new studio packed with industry veterans who’ve worked on games including Gears of War and Unreal Tournament. Now situated in their own cozy studio, the team is ready to take the wraps off its first game called Golem Gates.
The game is based on the firm foundations of real-time strategy and collectible card game genres all blended together to create a unique experience.
You can look for it on PC via Steam on March 28th or you can purchase a copy of the game for $20 and can check it out now thanks to Early Access.
Golem Gates
From the PR:
Players collect cards (called Glyphs) and strategically weave them into a deck to prepare for battle. Battles are fast-paced and highly tactical with streamlined resource management to keep the focus on the unrelenting action. Through Steam Early Access players can currently take their glyph decks online in various competitive and cooperative multiplayer modes. At launch the game will also include a complete single-player story campaign. The game delivers both intense combat and strategy, blending multiple genres for a truly unique experience.
You play as the Harbinger, an outcast with the ability to manipulate and command nanites from The Ash — a leftover power manifesting itself in your barren world’s atmosphere. Ancient warrior machines spawn while an unseen force compels you to take up arms. Wielding the power hidden within The Ash, you’ll battle the golems and unravel the mysteries surrounding their long-lost creators.
Key Features:
- Dynamic Diversity: Create your own unique battle plan to counter your opponents with nearly 100 collectible card game inspired Glyphs, including units, buildings, traps, buffs, debuffs and techs, that provide nearly limitless strategy options.
- Multiple Modes: Experience the evolving story of Golem Gates’ single-player campaign and take the fight online with friends in cooperative and survival-based modes.
- May the RNG Gods Smile Upon You: Randomized Glyph drawing puts a slightly different spin on every battle by eliminating monotonous build sequences, while rewarding deck building mastery and strategic planning chops in equal measure.
- Streamlined Strategy: Build and enhance your forces with Glyphs; no production or research buildings are needed. Capture resources in King of the Hill style skirmishes without dedicated gathering units and keep your focus where it belongs — on the battle.
- Fight Where You Have Sight: Glyphs can be played almost anywhere you have an existing presence. Add more forces to a battle to turn the tide, transform a scouting party into an army, place emergency defenses to respond to the enemy or hide an outpost in a direction the enemy doesn’t expect. The choices are yours, but beware: the enemy will do the same and with the right Glyph, your forces can be destroyed as quickly as they were created.
