    Play in tablet mode with joy cons in each hand. If you play this way you can use the touch screen controls while holding the joy con (optimally not in a grip so you can click and drag on the touchscreen still). This solves almost all the control issues some people complain about and the Switch is the only console that would let you do this so why not take advantage. You can box selectPlay in tablet mode with joy cons in each hand.

This solves almost all the control issues some people complain about and the Switch is the only console that would let you do this so why not take advantage. You can box select units with the touchscreen so that you dont have to select everything on screen (the y button by default). There are a lot of options for playing with other people and a few maps to start out with. Hopefully they add more maps later but first they need to get a player base. This is an amazing game so please play taking full advantage of the Switch, using both joycon (separate from each other held in each hand) AND the touchscreen.… Expand

    Golem Gates is generous with its content, but is for a fairly particular audience. Its complexity is enough to put off people that are new to the genre, but strategy fans will get a kick out of it.

    Overall, Golem Gates, is a unique take on the card-playing genre and welcome addition to the Switch library. Nonetheless, it has some minor flaws, even if it remains functionally intact. Either Way, Golem Gates is a must try for anyone looking for a strategy game on Switch and/or a fun multiplayer option! I can definitely see this game being something I come back to during airport gameplay sessions, or even just when I have a bunch of time to kill.

    Golem Gates feels like the type of game that would have been better served staying at home on the PC platform. On Nintendo Switch, an already dicey conceit gets exposed even further by poor controls, leaving a game that only the most die-hard RTS or card-battling fans should attempt to play.
