« Games been out for less than a year. Devs cut major support. No more major updates for a game that had so much potetial to go on. unless you get the game for 5 quid or less, not worth your time and money. A real shame... »

Strengths

  • Combat and movement anchor the praise: 81 positive mentions out of 108 spotlight fluid mechanics and responsive controls
  • Audio and visuals score near‑flawless marks, with 17 out of 18 reviewers calling the sound design atmospheric and 15 out of 18 lauding the stylized art direction
  • Cooperative drops spark joy: 16 positive mentions out of 18 confirm multiplayer sessions deliver chaotic, satisfying teamwork
  • Late‑game players are thoroughly charmed: those logging over 25.chrome hours rate the experience 92% positively

Weaknesses

  • Early hours frustrate newcomers: just 57% of players logging under 2 hours walk away happy
  • Content divides the crowd: 23 negative mentions out of 43 label the campaign repetitive or shallow
  • Technical hiccups persist: stability and UI only earn 2 positive mentions each, with no counterbalancing praise

Who is it for?

Dedicated roguelike enthusiasts craving tight gameplay and flashy visuals will relish *Gatekeeper*, especially those willing to weather its bumpy opening act. Co‑op squads will find chaotic fun, despite the occasional stumble.

Verdict

*Gatekeeper* is a roguelike that rewards stubborn players, its polished core shadowing early flaws. The audiovisual polish and multiplayer sparkle make it a standout indie, but its thin content will test the loyalty of those who quit too soon.
