About This Game

The Continent has fallen. The Invasion is here. The great city of Belrak is the world’s last hope.

The Gate Must Stand is a medieval fantasy roguelike tower defense game that puts you in the thick of the action! Choose your valiant warrior, recruit your allies, upgrade their skills, and discover powerful synergies to hold the last three lines of defense. 

Remember: heroes can fall, but the gate must stand.

Tower Defense re-imagined

Strategically place your followers like towers, then fight alongside them as you cover each other, repel enemies, and combine your strength to unleash chaos across the field!

Pick your battles carefully, though: your allies can revive and regroup after death, but the city gate’s demise is final.

Endless unique builds

Berserk attackers, relentless assassins, devastating spellcasters, stalwart defenders​​—each hero’s combat style presents new opportunities to experiment with unique builds and find powerful synergies.

Pair your hero with dozens of different followers, each with multiple upgrade paths, to truly maximise your defense!

Existential threats, revolutionary rewards

Face off against apocalyptic demonic bosses every 5 minutes. Defeat them to claim their ​​game-changing relics​​—but tread carefully, for risk and reward go hand in hand…

Each hard-won mystic relic can be used to evolve your followers into their ultimate forms, turning the tides of battle against ever-growing threats.

Roguelike-style progression

Every run brings a fresh challenge! Adapt your strategy dynamically as you upgrade your hero, and deploy your arsenal of followers with precision to fend off the murderous waves.

And if the gate does fall? 

Your blood-stained experience unlocks new content, allowing you to fortify your defenses and grow stronger for the next run. Belrak may have met its demise last time, but this time: the gate will surely stand.
