Review

Wildgate presents an energetic blend of tactical ship-to-ship combat and frenetic first-person shooting, creating a gameplay experience that, at its best, is thrilling and engaging. The heart of the game lies in its chaotic PvP battles where teamwork is essential for survival and victory. While the idea of piecing together your ship and evading dangers is captivating, the game shows weaknesses in its exploration and PvE elements, which can feel shallow and repetitive. As mentioned by several reviewers, there’s potential for the game to grow, but as it stands, it requires a solid crew to truly shine in its chaotic brilliance.

Background information

Reviews range from a commendable 90 from 'But Why Tho?' praising its tight design and chaotic fun, to a more tempered 70 from both 'MMORPG.com' and 'IGN', highlighting that while the PvP chaos can be enjoyable, the overall experience may struggle with essential content and depth. Despite its flaws, there’s hope for future content drops that could expand the game further.
