About Rune Gate



The Rune Gate has been breached. As the commander of the bridge guard, it's your duty to assemble a team of champions, each with unique specialties, to fend off the onslaught of enemies emerging from the gate. This is a deck-building roguelite that empowers you to customize your own cards by integrate various elemental runes.

The Rune system makes card customization swift and effortless. You have the freedom to forge synergies between cards, determining their power and utility. Insert attack runes for high-damage cards; use draw or energy runes for utility cards; and debuff runes transform your cards into potent curses. Want more versatility? Simply upgrade your card to add a new rune slot!

Currently, the game features nearly 200 unique runes, each with its own signature abilities and constraints. Players can acquire runes by winning combats, crafting them from lower-tier runes, or obtaining them through encounters and merchant inventory.

In the game, you lead a party of champions against adversaries. Each champion wields a specific type of weapon and utilizes unique runes. Every weapon type corresponds to a distinct deck, offering a unique set of cards for strategic deck-building. With 18 champions available, featuring three from each elemental type, a rich variety of team compositions and strategies awaits your command.

Gears and Augments


Not only do you acquire runes following combat, but you can also obtain gear and augments. Gear enhances your champions' offensive and defensive capabilities and includes runes for further customization. Augments provide unique buffs to your champions during combat, offering additional strategic depth.

Units to Summon


Followers represent another form of 'Gear' available in the game, capable of being summoned as allies during battles. They each possess a distinct set of cards that can be customized with runes, and can be a great help to your mid to late game strategy.

Meta Progression


Fame is earned through combat across different realms, and it serves as a key resource. You can utilize this fame to permanently unlock specific runes, granting yourself a range of advantages that significantly aid in progressing through future runs.

In theory it has the things I want but in practice there are too many things missing from a QoL/UI perspective. That, along with a few minor bugs, make the game feel unfinished. There also needs to be more clarity of mechanics.

Great game, a steal for less than 10€ ! It's the roguelike deckbuilder of my dreams, no other deckbuilder I know (and I tried most) allows you to customize/change every single card this deeply. You can have up to 4 runes in each card, each rune can add damage/defense/buffs/debuffs or some other effects, making the same base card do completely different things in the end. Depending on the champions class and element the available runes and cards to put them into differ. Add Equipment and Artifacts for bonus effects (e.g. one gave my warrior block for each burn applied, making him tanky by being a dot machine), rune and card upgrades and meta progression into the mix and you got your monkey brain hooked. I sometimes spent hours between fights, just crafting the perfect cards for each of my 5 champions to combo into each other. Each fight also lets you choose one of many additional challenges for bonus rewards, making each fight a bit different. The game even has a demo, just try it! Edit: I feel like I need to add that the game is still rough around the edges with bugs, I had one Artifact not even work at all, which made me stop playing for now, because it still fee…

good game. a warning, the complexity is frontloaded. it is a relatively complex game, and you need to learn most things at the beginning. i like complexe game, so it was fine for me.

Really love this game. Tons of depth and a bit of a learning curve but that makes it so much more rewarding when your builds start coming together. The game is also great to play in short 10-15 minute breaks or in longer runs.

Like the game, but healing can be difficult especially in tough fights. A nice game to chill and relax too.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
