What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want Wool at the Gates to be a rich and varied experience. Due to the nature of the class and faction based synergy systems, this will require a lot of content and balancing. Getting the game in the hands of the players early will help us make the best game we can for full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We estimate the Early Access period to take anywhere from 6 months to a year, depending on how quickly we can develop future content for release and address player feedback throughout the period.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan for the full version to have additional content, such as more maps, challenges, and heroes. In addition to this, we aim to include quality of life and balance improvements made by addressing player feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of Wool at the Gates is planned to include 9 unique class types and 3 factions (Humans, Orcs, and Elves) with their own heroes, towers, units, and perks. We plan to have a variety of finished and fully playable levels with unique enemies and challenges. Early Access will be representative of the final project, just with less content and without the quality of life and balancing patches we plan to make before the final release.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, we expect to occasionally raise the price of Wool at the Gates in accordance with additional content it receives throughout Early Access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Wool of the Gates will have an official Discord server that we plan to make available closer to Early Access Launch where players can talk to us about future development and give feedback on existing content. Players can also reach out to us on the Steam forums.”

About This Game

Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing

Sometimes being a shapeshifting flying eyeball god just isn’t enough to save your city from a relentless onslaught of evil sheep. Don’t be fooled by these puffy balls of wool when they arrive at your gates - they are here to overrun your city and obliterate everything you’ve built. You must defend the city’s headquarters at all costs by strategically building defenses and growing your city’s economy. Before the battle begins each round, use your Gold and Spirits to build towers, walls, or troops to defend against the upcoming sheep hordes. In the midst of battle, choose to have your hero fight on the front lines or shapeshift into your flying eyeball form to command your troops anywhere on the battlefield.

Each map has a series of fast-paced rounds where you might encounter wolves, dragons, rats, or other enemies (all disguised as sheep, of course). Replay maps to beat new challenges or try a new combination of the 3 factions and 9 class types for your city’s defenses.

Sheep Are Scary, the Controls Are Not

In the unintimidating haven of a single-player strategy game, take as much time as you need tactically building your defenses before the battle begins. Fixed locations for building types allow you to focus on how you can maximize your faction and class bonuses gained from build synergies.

Position your troops before the battle starts so you can concentrate on landing your hero’s abilities and auto attacks. Need to assist on other battle fronts? Just shapeshift into your eyeball form to reposition your troops or fly to any other encounter on the map.

Our Hero

Choose your hero from the Human, Orc, or Elf faction and then adapt your play style by gaining new abilities that lay waste to your enemies or help your allies. Make your hero even more powerful with perks and class bonuses gained by constructing buildings that synergize with your hero’s abilities.

The Power of Synergies

Construct buildings of the same faction to unlock perks. Gain class bonuses and exploit play styles by building enough towers, troops, or hero abilities with the same class types. Will you defend against the imminent sheep invasion as a Rogue? Mage? Summoner of the dead?
Replay levels again and again to defeat challenges using unique combinations of classes and factions.
