Jon Shafer's At the Gates

At the Gates is a compelling 4X grand strategy game developed by Jon Shafer, known for his work on Civilization 5. Set in the tumultuous period of the Dark Ages, you step into the role of a lord seeking to establish a powerful kingdom amid the ruins of the once-mighty Roman Empire. The game challenges you to explore an unpredictable landscape, gather crucial resources, and construct a formidable economic and military apparatus.

Your clans, each with unique traits and desires, require thoughtful management as you navigate your way through adversities. With powerful neighbors looming large, you must strategize and conquer to pave your way to success. Seasons shift and weather changes dynamically impact your strategy, turning barriers into pathways and presenting fresh opportunities and threats.

Survival is paramount as you must keep your clans fed during harsh winters while continuously seeking new resources. The game features a unique watercolor art style, creating a visually stunning experience. With its innovative "tooltips-in-tooltips" interface, At the Gates ensures depth and accessibility, allowing players to dive deep into strategy without feeling overwhelmed.
