Even though its unique blend of turn-based strategy and high-octane first-person gun-’em-up action came out last month on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC, developer Ratloop Games Canada has dropped a fresh accolades trailer for its multiplayer shooter Lemnis Gate.
Go ahead and feast your eyes on the new footage down below:
Currently, Lemnis Gate sits at a ‘generally favorable’ 77 critical score on review aggregator Metacritic for the PC version of the title. Indeed, not only was Lemnis Gate well-received by gaming press, but many outlets described the experience as super innovative and ahead of its time, too.
For those with an active Game Pass subscription, you’ll be able to nab Lemnis Gate free-of-charge on Xbox platforms.
We also got to sit down and have a chat with James Anderson, the game director of Lemnis Gate. You can read Twinfinite’s full interview here.
For more information, here’s an overview courtesy of the game’s official Steam page:
Lemnis Gate is a time-warping, turn-based, multiplayer combat strategy FPS. Over five alternating turns taking place in a 25” time-loop, you are called to master the unique abilities of a varied cast of deep-space operatives and outskill, outsmart, and outmanoeuvre your opponent in mind-bending, four-dimensional battles.
KEY FEATURES
THINK DIFFERENTLY
Matches in Lemnis Gate take place within time loops. You have 25 seconds to execute your action, be it blasting an enemy, manoeuvring your operative, or setting up your next move. After all players have taken turns, the next 25-second round begins. Now you’ll face what has happened while setting up what will happen. Each of the five rounds is your chance to alter the timeline as past, present, and future converge.
A TIME-BENDING TACTICAL SHOOTER
With a varied cast of characters to choose from, how you play is up to you. Lay damaging toxic waste in your enemy’s path, slow time to land the perfect shot, or deploy protective orbs to assist your future self. Every operative possesses a distinctive loadout and special ability that proves decisive on the battlefield.
TEAM UP WITH YOURSELF
Welcome to the team comprised entirely of one: you. With Lemnis Gate’s innovative auto co-op feature, you command every member of your side. Auto co-op gives you total control of five deep-space operatives, effectively enabling two competitors to duke it out in bustling ten-character matches. Become a literal one-person army.
COUNTLESS POSSIBILITIES, ENDLESS OUTCOMES
From the first second to the last, anything can happen in Lemnis Gate. Each round is a fresh chance to implement an unbeatable new strategy – or earn redemption from an earlier error. Predict hostiles’ routes, infiltrate enemy lines, and develop multi-layered gameplans by co-operating with yourself. Experiment both in and outside time, and get creative with causality.
A HOST OF MODES AND MATCHTYPES
Create a match to your preference. Pick between a 1v1 and 2v2 contest, online or offline. Select your mode amongst three thrilling spins on established genre staples. There’s Retrieve XM, in which you scramble to collect exotic matter and return it to your gate; Domination, which is about competing to capture zones; and Seek & Destroy, where you attempt to wreck your opponent’s Resistors. Whether teaming up with a friend for “hotseat” local multiplayer, or pitting your operatives against online rivals, Lemnis Gate lets you set the board to suit your style.
