About Stormgate
Stormgate places players in a post‑apocalyptic science‑fantasy RTS where Humans, demonic Invaders, and angelic Celestials vie for Earth’s survival.
Built on Unreal Engine 5 with SnowPlay technology, it offers globally distributed servers with rollback netcode, a free Vanguard prologue, and an integrated map editor for community‑created content.
01 / THE GUIDE
Versus Overhaul & New Modes
The latest community update adds a Versus overhaul that introduces 2v2 matchmaking and more than 40 new maps, including free‑for‑all and arcade‑style custom games.
Visual, sound, and quality‑of‑life improvements accompany the new modes, giving players a refreshed experience across all match types while retaining the core RTS mechanics.
- Try a 2v2 match to see how teamwork changes map control.
- Use an arcade‑style map for a low‑pressure practice session.

Three Highly Asymmetric Factions
Stormgate features three distinct factions: the stalwart Human Vanguard, the relentless Infernal Host, and the highly‑advanced Celestial Armada, each with unique units and technology.
Faction choice determines whether players command robot allies, demonic war machines, or angelic technology, shaping offensive and defensive tactics.
- Review each faction’s unit list to identify strengths and weaknesses.
- Observe how enemy factions react to your unit composition in early matches.

Integrated Map Editor
Stormgate’s map editor is fully released and built into the client, offering an advanced yet user‑friendly RTS toolset for terrain sculpting, unit placement, and rapid iteration.
Edited maps, mods, and custom games can be shared with the community, extending replayability and allowing players to craft their own scenarios.
- Experiment with terrain tools to see how elevation affects line of sight.
- Publish a test map to gather feedback from other players.

Story‑Driven Campaign
The campaign drops players into the role of Heroes fighting for the world’s fate; a free Vanguard prologue chapter provides three playable missions that introduce narrative context and core gameplay.
Additional campaign chapters are available for purchase, with future releases planned to expand the post‑apocalyptic science‑fantasy storyline.
- Complete each prologue mission to familiarize yourself with basic controls.
- Watch for announcements about new campaign chapters to continue the story.

Next‑Gen Engine & Network
Stormgate runs on Unreal Engine 5, enhanced by proprietary SnowPlay technology, delivering highly responsive RTS gameplay.
Globally distributed servers and advanced rollback netcode aim to minimise lag, allowing players to focus on strategy rather than connectivity issues.
