About this game
Gate Guardian is a fantasy roguelite in the bullet heaven genre with the ability to create your own crazy spells.
Gather an arsenal of skills and spells that better suit your play style. Enhance the power of your abilities with passive skills and upgrades. Use evolutions to change the spell up to three times. For example:
• Choose a fire projectile with periodic damage
• Add a fan of magic projectiles instead of just one
• Add periodic explosions to the projectile
The variation in spell creation will allow you to create builds that spit on balance. Destroy enemies faster than they appear. Fill the screen with explosions and smash the FPS counter!
Hordes of undead are on their way, and there are some extremely dangerous opponents among them. Try to delay the moment of imminent end, because you are the only barrier defending life. Survive Death!

With this update, items now contain a wide range of modifiers that can be useful not only in different situations but also for a wider range of abilities.For example, the “Voodoo” upgrade increased damage at long range which narrowed the possible use cases. Now, in addition to increased damage at range, all abilities with fire or physical damage receive bonuses.Most items have been rebalanced in one way or another. Some have added new modifiers, some have changed in rarity, and some have changed drastically. For example, the evolution 'Flame'.New itemsAnd of course, there are new items.
