About the Game
Inspired by games like Thronefall, SNKRX, and Warcraft 3, Wool at the Gates fuses minimalistic tactical base defense with the deep class synergy systems of auto-battlers and hero-driven action of MOBA’s to deliver an exciting loop of strategic base building and epic battles.
Defend against hordes of invading sheep through increasingly challenging rounds, each featuring tactical build phases followed by epic battles. Make strategic decisions to balance tradeoffs between building types, delving into faction talent trees, and maximizing auto-battler-style class synergies. Watch your carefully crafted synergies unfold in all out brawls between your defenses and the sheep mobs where your hero leads the charge as the ultimate commander.
