Gatekeeper Steam Charts & Stats

Honestly, this game gets a very "lukewarm" yes from me. If you're a fan of roguelikes, it's worth a shot. But, don't expect any evolution in the industry out of this game. Gatekeeper is an isometric roguelike very much in the style of Vampire Survivors, with the added details of looting equipment akin to Risk of Rain however using a currency system. Many different characters can be played to customize and fit different playstyles; however, I feel like many of the characters are incredibly unbalanced. Some (primarily the melee classes) suffer incredibly to bosses while the ranged characters have really no issues. Even at maximum difficulty and attempting to self sabotage by picking random items and stats, I was having a hard time losing with certain characters whereas other ones need to be played perfectly to just be viable. The game seems to be lacking in lore, though exploring the maps is somewhat fun despite a lack of things to do. Over-all, it's extremely a 5/10 game. It's not terrible, and it's definitely not a waste of money. But, there's just nothing special about it, and the dev cycle is slow so if you're thinking about picking it up in its unfinished state, expect to wait a while for things to change. Honestly, I hate bashing a game like this because it /does/ have its fun moments. I guess the game just leaves a very bland taste in my mouth due to itemization being a bit too broad, classes being unbalanced, no lore in the game explaining what's going on, and not really a whole lot new or fresh to do between runs to keep it interesting. Still, you can see my hours and see I spent a lot of time on it, so there's playability. That's why I have such a hard time giving it a high rating or a low rating. TL;DR: If you're a roguelike fan, check it out. If you're not? Well, you're probably not gonna deeply enjoy this one even if it isn't a bad game.

I successfully made the game crash, so that means I beat it right? Anyways yeah its a pretty good game

Disclaimer: I created and run https://www.gatekeeper.wiki and I am just a fan. I am a very social person and one of the best ways of spending time with others, particularly over the internet, is playing video games. Everyone has different tastes, and it's difficult to herd all my friends to do one thing sometimes, but everyone I've gifted this game to or have convinced to buy has all agreed, it's pretty great. That last unifying game was Risk of Rain 2, which I've gotten over a dozen people on over the years and this has dethroned that. The items are fun, the gatekeepers (playable characters) are interesting and unique. The monsters, art style and locations don't bore you and arena mode is a great time as well. It's tight, fun, and more importantly, it mimics that RoR2 style that other games should, and that's stacking items for funny effects. This game is fun and it knows it. Get 20 movement speed items and zip around like a lunatic. Cause bleed and other mass effects with giant tuning forks of doom. Buy it now, I've gotten 6 of my friends already to get it.

The visual aesthetics and move-attack mechanics just hits home for me. I hope to see PvP down the line.

The game is great. Me and my buds play it almost every day, but we've run into some bugs and other things (some because we progressed so far in a run). This part is mainly for the developers. For one, when any of us exits to the main menu, the game completely freezes up on the loading screen. I've left it loading once for like an hour and nothing really happened. The other is when there are nigh infinitely more projectiles and enemies on the map than players, usually when one of us plays as the mediator, the game starts to get really jittery and laggy. I was able to make it managable by setting the graphics to low, but it still likes to lag a bit. I also have one gripe with the forge, when I'm "melting" items and i run out of one type of item, the next one doesn't get picked immediately, but that's just a personal thing. Otherwise the game is an absolute blast with hours and hours worth of fun and progression and I can't reccomend it enough. If you and some friends have got some money to spare, give it a go and see how you like it.

Игра супер! Духовный наследник Риск оф рейн. Наткнулись с ребятами случайно. Надеюсь игру разработчик не забросить и будет добавлять контент. Идеально было бы добавить поддержку модов, и все игру стала бы бессмертной. eng------------------------------ The game is super! The spiritual heir of Risk of the Rhine. We bumped into the guys by accident. I hope the developer will not abandon the game and will add content. It would be ideal to add support for mods, and the whole game would become immortal.

Great, fluid, addictive. Core play, visual polish, and isometric 3D beats the RoRs in my book. With increased variation in GK types and a lot more variety put into level design, this game will be an absolute favorite.

I really enjoy this game! Every update is an amazing addition to the gameplay.

This game is way too bare bones. It needs more stages, more enemies, more diversity in enemy design, a boss overhaul, a greater/more varied item array, and some innovative character skills. I enjoyed the item unlock mechanic, I think it's a good idea. I like some other small features but not enough to confidently say it's worth anyone's money.

The game has very few items in it right now. I bought 4 copies for me and my kids but none of us have made it past 4 hours of play time. It looks nice and runs decent, but there is so little to the game right now. Risk of Rain 2 is decades ahead of this game. My kids have hundreds of hours in ROR2 and I really hoped they'd be interested in this one. But none of us are. As of right now, I cannot recommend this game.
