Did not realize the game was on a timer. Your supposed to compete against factors....okay. I just wanted to build a gate base and pretend I was a Stargate commander and explore strange new worlds. Ok. Edit: I am a moron. You can change it in new game settings. Thanks devs. Back to positive. Sorry :(

The only problem for Exogate is the gate itself. First of all, this game feels like another game series called "Evil Genius". The concept is very familiar, you build the base, send people to mission, and defend it once in a while. There are many mechanics that make it feel unique from Evil Genius, but overall it is much more simple. So, you build your base with rooms for your staff to sleep, eat, relax, and train. Once the core function rooms are ready, you send your people to gather samples like a plant, an animal, or ore from the other side of the gate. Once you do that, you research it and write the patent to sell it to the world or just sell the refining ore you gather, and this is your main source of income in this game. The only expense is your staff salary, once you gather some budget, you just use it to upgrade your base for other stuff, and this is your main core loop. But the most annoying part for me is the gate itself. When you send your units out through the gate, they have to gathering in front of the gate first, if someone is not available because they are eating or sleeping, yep the team have to wait for them. Once everyone is ready, but if the other team is ready first, yep, they have to wait for the other team to go first. And while they are waiting, someone in the team may feel hungry again, so yes, they wait again. So, the gate become the bottleneck problem of your operation real quick. There are many times that my territory is under attack and I can't send my unit to defend it fast enough because of this bottleneck process. Also, this game may be lagging and even suddenly close when your base got a lot of staff running around. But at least the auto save work pretty well, and restart the game every few hours also helps. It took me around 50 hours to complete all achievements and everything that the game can offer, so it was nice if you are looking for a short game to build base and send people out. But if you are looking for a better quality long haul game to complete, go check "Evil Genius 2" and you can sink more than 150 hours on that.

This game is a mixed bag, but not irredeemably so. The base management is pretty good, and you have numerous research options for removing some of the pain as you continue along. The exploration and leveling systems are reasonable. They lack depth, unfortunately, but they're sufficient to keep attention for a bit. Where the game falls flat on its face is combat. There's no strategy. You throw your bulk against the enemy's bulk and then the biggest bulk wins. If you want to invade, you're guaranteed to lose 1-2 soldiers every time. This leads to a really stupid ideal strategy where you pack two level 1s into your stack of soldiers because the lowest level ones get shot first. When you win after losing both, you buy two more and repeat the process. Base invasions are also pointless mechanically. They only come through the gate, so you just drop soldiers in front and they shoot until the enemies die. That's it. If the game included even a primitive tactical turn-based combat system or more ways to customize defenders + fortifications, I think I would've played to the end. As it stands, though, it's ok. Good enough to recommend for fun, but ONLY when it's half off or more.

I have to say, I have enjoyed days of learning and playing this game. Until today. I lost. I wasn't defeated. In fact, I was growing my territory and defeating the enemies. No, I lost because the game arbitrarily decided enough turns have occurred and so awarded victory with the highest number of points. Wait, what? Seriously? Now it appears I wasted days of my life going after a victory that would not possibly because of a previously unknown time limit and a scoring system. I then decided to join the Discord server, which is woefully inadequate and doesn't even work. So I can't comment there and request an option to let the game play out until victory is assured. As a Stargate fan, this was fun to play and brought memories of the tv series'. But come one guys, a scoring system to end it and a time limit?
