it says on the steam page that the game will be free to play in 2 weeks. “Stormgate is a free-to-play (on August 13)

The whole "next gen RTS" stuff has been a double edged sword. It built a lot of hype and sold a lot of presales, but the game doesn't live up to it so people are annoyed they got lied to. Mixed reviews on steam. If they had been more humble they would get a lot more slack

Solid review. That said I love this game. SC2 is legendary. Coming close…not bad

You know what's funny about the campaing? The first mission is literally the first human mission from Reign of Chaos

My guy, of course it's similar to Starcraft. Frost Giant is the former core RTS team from Warcraft and Starcraft from back in the day. It's well documented they wanted to make an RTS game, and Blizzard was pretty much done with it, so they broke off and made their own thing.

As someone who bought the $60 package as I wanted to support the devs, the fact that there's STILL things you can buy (a co-op commander and a pet) is a bit stupid. For context in the bundle you get 3 co-op commanders which is $30, a pet which is $5 and 3 campaign missions which I'm guess is about $10~. I'm hoping I can get a refund.

And ALLLL of that pales in comparison with how poorly co-op is optimized, and the fact that they straight up copy-pasted missions from SC2 like Dead of Night and Rifts to Korhal.

The one complaint I don't resonate with is that its just more StarCraft 2.
It's been 10 years...I can't point to five other games that are just more StarCraft 2 that have come out since SC2....so even a B-tier SC2 is overwhelmingly welcome at this point. I haven't bought the game so I have no real pushback on anything else.

Good on you for calling out the payment model and the store. I'm very much aware they plan to go FTP on Aug 13th but you are correct to call this out and to not trust devs based on the long history of games. They didn't earn our trust and have lied to us on the store page. That criticism should be called out as its setting expectations to the consumer before they decide to financially support the game.

"Yo, okay, the game isn't great right now, but they always said it would be free to play and available in mid-August. You can't blame a game for having a paid early access; it shows that you support the developers and you get a little bonus with it

I enjoy playing the game. It is fun having a new competetive RTS to play inspired by SC2 etc. Why complain? I think the top bar options in the game are really cool.

I enjoyed FNAF Security Breach more when it first came out because at the very least the game was pretty to look at.

It would have been fair to mention that the creators are ex-sc2 developers. Then it less of blatant rip-off and more that this is just how they were trained

The campaign doesn't even have a save or pause function. Lmfao

this guy's life seems really hard.

RTS really needs its own equivalent of Doom 2016 or Doom Eternal.
Instead, we get yet another copycat... Eh...

hideshisface

Not sure if bad liar or just blatant stupidity but the game team doesnt remotely try to hide that they're the SC2 dev team that left blizzard...

tastefulavenger

The game is really bad and they scammed a lot of people, stealing their money on kickstarter leveraging their nostalgia and hope

SLR

This is the problem with programmer types. They are copy artists. Not a single original thought in this entire game. This is the most disappointing game I've ever seen released.

nickb-whistler

I hope they will really work hard to improve this game. After one or two years, it might be playable...

Dude, you don't understand marketing speak "next-gen". For ex. you are "next-gen" from your father, but are you BETTER? :)
