    Earth didn't stand a chance. Our story begins hundreds of years in the future, after alien invaders hellbent on claiming this planet as their own poured out of the Stormgates and brought an end to the world as we knew it. Yet humanity survived.

    As the fully-playable demonic Infernals return to unleash havoc once again, Earth's defenders must gather their courage - and climb into their 20-foot tall mechs - to save the world. It's up to you to pick a side, harvest resources, build your base, and command mighty armies to decide the outcome.

    Stormgate is a free-to-play PC real-time strategy game set hundreds of years in Earth's future.

    Take command of the human resistance, the demonic invaders, or other factions yet to be revealed - solo or cooperatively.

    Build your base, harvest resources, and lead mighty armies in battle to emerge victorious.

    As a competitive RTS, Stormgate is what's next. Or at least, I hope it is. It pushes that classic basecraft formula forward with a veteran's eye for what works and what doesn't, and gets me pumped to queue up again right after I finish a match – win or lose – in a way I haven't been since the early days of Wings of Liberty. The campaign has come a long way since the rough state it was in for the Early Access launch, while it still has some rough edges. The road ahead still feels long, and I genuinely hope it has the chance to become everything it wants to be some day. It's already a special game, though, combining the familiar and the fresh into a satisfying RTS experience.

    At release, Stormgate is not as extensive as promised, but it is still a much better RTS than it was at the start of Early Access.

    Stormgate is both a classic and an innovative RTS which mixes the old and the new, it still needs some work but the foundations are strong.

    Stormgate is a strategy game woven from strong multiplayer fabric, shaped by high expectations and unfulfilled promises. Whether it can become the unicorn Tim Morten envisions remains to be seen.

    With Stormgate launching in early access, there is always the chance that it will improve with sufficient development time. As it stands at release, however, it is difficult to see why an RTS player would pick Stormgate over more established competition. Its simplistic mechanics make matches grow boring quickly. Its story and world are so poorly developed that they are not even worth mentioning. With its heavily in-progress state, it seems better to wait and see if it improves before investing time in checking it out. [Early Access Review]

    Stormgate’s early access hints at potential, but it’s clear that it’s not yet the revolutionary RTS some might have hoped for. The game shows promise with its gameplay foundation, but there’s still a lot of work needed to refine it. As it stands, it’s a game worth watching, but not one to jump into just yet. [Early Access Score = 30]

    The arrival of Stormgate has reignited the RTS genre. However, as an Early Access title, the game still has some issues in terms of its art direction and pricing, which significantly impact the overall experience. [Early Access Provisional Score = 80]
