Wildgate is a multiplayer PvPvE shooter set in the Reach, a procedurally generated region of space. You play as a prospector, joining a crew aboard a ship that serves as both transport and lifeline.
Explore points of interest, salvage loot, and gather ice, fuel, and ammunition while navigating environmental hazards and space creatures. Crewmates can pilot, operate cannons, repair the ship, or leave it to board and sabotage rivals.
Choose among modes with different objectives: seize the Artifact and escape, destroy rival crews in Fleet Battle, or gather treasure and leave in Treasure Hunt. Prospectors have distinct abilities and tools, while ship upgrades and found weapons help crews prepare for encounters.
Players who praise Wildgate often point to its distinctive mix of ship combat, first-person action, scavenging, and tactical choices, especially when coordinating with friends. They also appreciate the controls and the variety of ways to approach encounters, including PvE expeditions. Many reviews temper that enjoyment with concerns about dwindling player numbers, long queues, uneven matchmaking, and the game’s price or lack of lasting content.
Wildgate is a PvPvE multiplayer shooter with 3 different modes. In Artifact Brawl, be the first to snatch the Artifact and blast through the Wildgate, or destroy the ships of every rival crew to be crowned the winner. Fleet Battle pits two massive teams of up to 12 players each against one another in relentless, action-packed combat. For a more relaxed looting expedition, salvage treasure and escape with the spoils before getting blown up in Treasure Hunt.
Across all modes your ship is your home and lifeline for you and your prospector crew. Keep it topped up with ice, fuel and ammo so you're ready for anyone or anything the Reach throws at you.
Blast your enemies with hi-tech cannons and gadgets, lure them into deadly traps, or even mess with their ship... as long as they don't sabotage yours first. When your perfect plan goes out the airlock, there's only one option... wing it!
Stay one step ahead as you and your crew navigate the Reach — a vast, ever-changing procedurally-generated map that changes with every game.
Choose from a variety of daring prospectors, each with their own abilities and tools. Whether you want to be a brave pilot holding down the ship or a clever trickster boarding enemy ships, there's no wrong way to commit space crimes!
The Reach is a dangerous, unpredictable place, filled with deadly hazards and treasure beyond your wildest dreams. Navigate through cosmic storms, battle space creatures, and plunder ancient alien ruins for lost caches of loot. Just make sure you beat the other prospectors to the punch, or you'll fly away empty-handed!
