A different take on the genre makes Jon Shafer’s At The Gates well worth checking out. This game is a labour of love for Jon Shafer, and it really shows.
Jon Shafer’s At the Gates, the new crowdfunded historical strategy game from the designer of Civilization V, aims to give barbarians, specifically the various tribes that helped hasten the demise of the Roman Empire, their due. Is At the Gates your next turn-based strategy obsession or should it be locked up?
It's a game I've really been looking forward to. Reviews seem fairly consistent too - I'll end up checking it out because of the genre alone, hopefully patches will iron out any kinks.
With At The Gates you have to think long term, you can’t take out a bandit camp if you have nothing but barley and a few stones. Stop trying.
At the Gates is a turn-based strategy similar to the Civilization series, but introduces a unique world by incorporating rogue-like elements.
