News 4D FPS Lemnis Gate Activates 3rd August on PS5, PS4
Loop the loop
This trailer doesn’t really do tactical first-person shooter Lemnis Gate justice, unfortunately. For those who haven’t been following it, this is basically a turn-based strategy game, where you deploy 25 second versions of yourself, and must outwit your opponents across five rounds. We’re going to defer to the developer’s press...
