Publisher HypeTrain Digital announced on November 10th, "Gatekeeper: Infinity" has started distribution. The compatible platform is PC (Steam), and it supports Japanese display. The game has gotten off to a good start, receiving a "very positive" status in Steam user reviews since its release.
"Gatekeeper: Infinity" is a roguelite action game with a diagonal top-down perspective. Supports online multiplayer for up to 4 people by inviting friends. The setting of this work is a world far in the future, hundreds of thousands of years in the future. It is said that in order to maintain the harmony of the universe, the creator of this world enshrined three relics called "hearts" that control space, time, and matter. The player is a being called a "gatekeeper" who is ordered to serve the creator and protect the "heart of time." The player acts as the last line of defense to protect the "Heart of Time" and fight off the unknown forces that are rushing towards them.This work's official X accountPostAccording to , it was inspired by "Vampire Survivors" and "Risk of Rain 2", and seems to be aiming for a work that combines the characteristics of both works.
The gameplay of this work progresses by clearing stages, where you advance to the next stage by completing the set conditions. The clearing conditions change for each stage, and if you complete the steps such as defeating a specified number of monsters and activating a switch, an object will appear that allows you to move to the next stage. Occasionally, super-large bosses will appear, and you can enjoy a tense battle that is different from defeating a large number of monsters.
Each gatekeeper controlled by the player has four skills and one trait (passive). The skill composition is a total of 4 types: 2 types of main attack/sub attack skills, a dash type skill that allows instantaneous movement, and an ULT skill that can be expected to cause wide range/large damage. There is a cooldown after each skill is used, so it will be important to consider the order in which the skills are activated during battle.
There are two ways to strengthen your character: leveling up by gaining experience points when defeating enemies, and obtaining artifacts (items that give effects). When you level up, you will receive distributable status points, which will allow you to enhance your character's basic performance, such as HP, attack power, movement speed, and attack speed. In addition, it is possible to strengthen skills each time you reach a certain level, and enhanced skills increase the amount of damage and area of effect, and may also add new debuff effects.
The other artifact can be obtained by dedicating points called "prisms" dropped by enemies to obelisks (stone monuments) scattered on the field. By obtaining artifacts, you can obtain effects such as additional attacks/recoveries that occur under specific conditions such as player attacks, and debuffs to enemies. Additionally, performance can be improved by acquiring the same artifact multiple times. In addition, there is also a point called "Omnistone" that drops rarely, and can be used when rerolling artifacts presented at obelisks. It is also needed when forging (unlocking) artifacts, so it may be a good idea not to reroll too much in the early stages.
As of this writing, this work has achieved the status of "Very Positive" with 89% of 331 Steam user reviews being positive. In addition, the number of concurrently connected players has already reached a high of 3,333 at its peak (SteamDB). This popularity may be due to the fact that this game is free and supports co-op play with friends.
在Steam用户发布的评论中，主要观点是游戏玩法非常完整，尽管它被定位为序言(演示)版本，并且它在之前发布的演示版本的基础上得到了稳步改进。也听到了一些声音。另一方面，有些人指出，游戏中通过道具和升级获得的构建范围以及出现的怪物数量不足。针对这些问题，期待产品版本的内容和未来的改进。
这款游戏由哈萨克斯坦开发商Gravity Lagoon开发。从2月27日起，同一开发者一直在Steam上发布“Gatekeeper: Eclipse”，据说这是“Gatekeeper”的序幕版本。尽管这款游戏随后在7月10日被关闭，但它似乎取得了“非常积极”的地位，在发行期间，Steam用户的766条评论中有82%。在暂停之前的公告中，还宣布将开始开发新的序言版本，所以这部作品，“守门人:无限”，可能就是这样。我们期待着《守门人》的最终版本，它的两个序言版本已经迅速得到了好评。
