The Summer Game Fest left us with many pleasant surprises, one of them was the confirmation that Lemnis Gate will arrive from day one on Xbox Game Pass not only on consoles but also on PC, but what exactly will that date be? To answer this question you have to go to the source, in this case, the developers of the production: Ratloop Games Canada.
Title makers have signaled hours ago that we will be able to take advantage of this shooter strategy from August 3, 2021 on Xbox One, Xbox Series X | S, PC, Playstation 4 and Playstation 5. As production hits Xbox Game Pass at launch, those who wish to purchase the game separately can take advantage of the 20% discount offered starting today with Reserve and that comes with a KARL weapon skin, Mettle Mantis.
Why is Lemnis Gate so special?
We live in a time when shooters Multiplayer is common, many are repeating spent formulas with new content, others are tracing structures to try to take some of the market out of the already established greats. The results are disparate, many productions succeed over time while others fail miserably almost instantly. However, some are betting on something really innovative, in this last category is Lemnis Gate.
The title story, concise, just to frame the action, tells us about an incident that left all of humanity sterile. To reverse the situation, it will be necessary to manipulate time, for this it is necessary to activate the device known as Lemnis Gate and of course, the fight will be to conquer the precious object.
A few weeks ago I was fortunate enough to be able to play this production in a closed beta of Xbox and other platforms with people from various parts of the world who had the misfortune to share material with me, who don’t exactly excel at these types of games. Despite my lack of skill, the game really surprised me from the start.
After a short tutorial that is used to learn the controls of the control, we move on to direct action which offers us to choose between one of the seven agents, each with its own advantages and disadvantages combined with unique and exclusive special abilities that will be the key at different points in the game, of course, this character will not be the only one we choose, but we will have to use five per game. Strange? Not that much.
What makes Lemnis Gate different is precisely the ability to interact with our previous versions. The games are divided into five rounds divided into loops barely 25 seconds per lap, because yes, this production is a turn-based FPS, as strange as that combined phrase may sound. To make themselves understood better, each player will have 25 seconds to complete the proposed objectives, then it will be the time of the next team before sending another character. In this section where a team is waiting, we will be able to see the rehearsal of the play, which will allow us to modify the events that happened in the previous instance and even reverse the death itself.
This scheme makes the tactical vision of the game the most important value of production and to study it in depth, the title allows us to follow the action of rounds when our opponent is in control from a drone, which will bring us to plan our next game. detail.
The downside, perhaps, of these very short games is that they don’t give us time to appreciate the great design work that is found both in the character graphics and in the maps that make up the production. .
The title can be played online or locally in 1V1 and 2V2 games and mastering each agent’s skills and exactly when to use them will be key to victory.
PC gamers will have an open beta on Steam to test the game before the launch date, I recommend that you keep an eye on our website for when this must-see test launches. Those who were looking for a shooter Innovative and most importantly great fun multiplayer, you can stop looking. At Lemnis Gate, they’ll have found him.
