Skill Up Review: Wildgate - Sci-Fi PvPVE Game with Unique Ship Battles

In this exhilarating video from Skill Up, we delve into the thrilling world of Wildgate, a sci-fi ship-based PvPVE game that sets sail with a crew of former Blizzard developers at the helm. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Sea of Thieves, Wildgate infuses a unique blend of physics-driven sandbox elements, solid gunplay, and diverse character classes into action-packed 15 to 20 minute matches. The game's polished art direction and tight gameplay loop, reminiscent of Blizzard's signature style, ensure a cohesive and engaging experience for players seeking a fresh take on the PvP genre.

As we navigate the match-based PvPVE gameplay of Wildgate, teams of four players embark on a quest to secure victory by either outlasting rival crews or obtaining the elusive artifact and escaping through the Wild Gate portal. With a focus on strategic ship customization and physics-based mechanics, players can equip their vessels with an array of cannons, modules, and equipment to gain the upper hand in intense ship battles. The game's heroes offer passive abilities tailored to the game loop, adding depth and variety to the gameplay experience without conforming to traditional hero shooter roles.

Wildgate's progression model revolves around earning XP to unlock gear for loadouts, including deployable equipment and a diverse arsenal of weapons ranging from auto rifles to explosive shotguns. While the gunplay mirrors the intensity of Overwatch, the low time to kill may require adjustments to promote weapon diversity and strategic counterplay. Ship battles in Wildgate are a symphony of chaos and strategy, demanding players to multitask as they navigate, man cannons, repair damage, and repel boarding enemies in electrifying encounters that keep adrenaline levels soaring. With its methodical exploration, frantic battles, and seamless blend of creativity and depth, Wildgate promises an unparalleled PvP experience that sets it apart from the competition.
