Jon Shafer's At the Gates

Abandoned the game after making so many promises, and stating in a podcast that they 'may' return to this, while also still trying to charge full price for it. Absolute garbage behaviour, do NOT buy this or any other future games by the developer, do not allow this to become any sort of standard.

Baaahahahaha. Why can you still buy this? For $30?

Hasn't been and will never be finished, don't buy.

Game was abandoned a couple of months after releasing a very unpolished and buggy version. Shameful behavior.

I expected a lot more from this game, considering its creator, but despite looking unfinished and suffering from balance problems, it's very pretty and has interesting mechanics. If you catch a big promotion, it's worth it.

I really like this game but that's in spite of its many flaws. I've had fun with it but I don't think most people will. it feels more like a puzzle game then a 4x. the difficulty is a joke but the harder ones work if you play with self enforced rules to avoid broken or simple solutions. if you do get this game, try playing as a vegan ludite that hates trade. diplomacy is a mixed and leaking bag. both romes will just declare war on me for no reason even if i manage to get them at a high rep and stay far away. being at war doesn't game over you. they mostly just smash your things and it takes some resources and 2 turns to repair. most tribes don't attack me and they're much easier to deal with. i usually just piss a few off to get +5 global rep for being a bad ass and the rest will turn 1 ally with you after that. I've had fun with this game but it's not worth more then 5 dollars imo (edit just double checked the current price its 29.99 lmao this game is broken and hasn't been updated in 4 years) . dead game too so is there even a reason to buy this in the year of our lord 2025?
