Hope you enjoy the game -- our demo is playable on Steam all this week Feb 5-12!

Steam Next Fest is here and we're thrilled to have you join us to play the first-ever public demo of Stormgate! The Steam Next Fest demo includes full access to the current closed beta phase, codenamed "Elephant." (Each Stormgate playtest build is named after a classic RTS unit, in alphabetical order.)

Here are some key insights into the current game state and what you can look forward to during the playtest.

How to Play With Friends
While our party system is still under construction, you can easily play with friends by creating custom games, either public or private, and sharing the Lobby ID. Crush that smack-talkin' Major Galt together in our 3P co-op map, WRECK HAVOC!

How Do I Get Gud?
If you are new, you may want to start by playing 3P co-op first or creating custom games against the AI to practice. PeacefulBot will leave you alone so that you can learn the tech trees and try out all the units. Then you can upgrade to MurderBot for a... Read more

Beta started in 2023 and we never updated this. /facepalm

Super cool stats! My theory/interpretation of these winrates that they are currently skewed towards players who are experiencing the game for the first time.

For early-game, Brute/Gaunt pushes are extremely powerful if you don't know the exact reactions, but I see them as less of an issue at higher levels. (Note that this doesn't mean that new Vanguard players dying so early on isn't a big issue.)

As for late-game, I've been hearing that both factions have extremely powerful tools, but the Vanguard ones are generally a bit easier to use (Deployed units + Vulcans vs Weavers/Imps/Hellbornes)

I'd be curious to see what the stats say for players above certain MMRs/RPs!

f**k blizzard, stormgate opted in hard enough to get in for their 1 week beta launch even. That’s early.

We appreciate the support <3

In addition to playing the Stormgate beta during Steam Next Fest, you should consider playing StarCraft II. Many of our team members worked on it and it's been able to withstand the test of time.

Stormgate will be playable using GeForce Now!

We will be on GeForce Now, too.

You will be able to play 3p co-op and 3v3 without purchasing any Heroes—everyone will be able to use a Hero.

Updating this response with the correct steps:

As an alpha/beta tester, you may share your Kickstarter beta access, but the correct process is to go through the onboarding email with the email that you used for Kickstarter. Once you connect to your Steam account, it will sync up with your old alpha/beta account and you will receive an additional invite link that you can share through the closed beta dashboard.

Hopefully that helps. Don't just forward the Kickstarter beta email, as you will also be giving away your Founder Discord role and other potential rewards that are part of your pledge.

Is it worth ‘messaging creator’ on the kickstarter pledge or just wait for a future communication?

It can’t hurt!

It’s Steam Next Fest, and that means you get a full week to try out (and try to break) Frost Giant’s upcoming RTS, Stormgate!

While some of you have been involved from very early on in development, even more will experience Stormgate for the first time this week.

BeoMulf, UpATree, Steadfast, Vodible, and KillerPigeon have joined forces to give you all the resources you need to get up and running to dominate the ladder, win those Co-Op missions, and generally have a great time exploring Stormgate this entire week!

If you want to know exactly what’s happening, here’s the schedule (all times PST):

  1. 10:00-11:00am - Past matches, highlights, countdown
