Overall, players find Wildgate to be a unique and strategic PvPvE game with an immersive art style and rewarding cooperative play. However, frustrations with matchmaking, balance, and the game's price weigh heavily on its potential. While the core mechanics are fun and engaging, the experience can feel repetitive over time, and the game is challenged by a high skill curve, making it difficult for newcomers without a full team. The game's future hinges on addressing these balance and matchmaking issues while maintaining or growing its player base.
