1
00:00:00,00 --> 00:00:02,220
Are you new to Lemnis Gate?

2
00:00:02,220 --> 00:00:05,090
Are you looking at this game going,  "Yeah, 
it looks kinda fun,

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:09,800
but what do you mean it's a 'turn-based FPS'?

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,000
What does it mean to 'disrupt the past' and 
'change the future'?"

5
00:00:14,100 --> 00:00:17,640
Are you just confused on how time loop games 
work in the first place?

6
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,850
What I mean.. to be fair, I was too.  BUT!

7
00:00:20,850 --> 00:00:24,970
I'm going to help you, so let's get started!

8
00:00:24,900 --> 00:00:27,260
So firstly, I've played this game quite a 
bit

9
00:00:27,260 --> 00:00:31,860
and it is wicked fun once you start to understand 
it.

10
00:00:31,300 --> 00:00:34,400
There is a steep, but rather small learning 
curve

11
00:00:34,500 --> 00:00:38,200
when it comes to just thinking in four dimensions.

12
00:00:38,300 --> 00:00:41,500
So, in a single match there are ten rounds,

13
00:00:41,350 --> 00:00:45,440
and let's say that you and I are playing 
against each other.

14
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,060
So, I go first. I choose one of the many 
operatives.

15
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:54,740
I go about, I do my business for 25 seconds, 
 maybe try to pick up some objectives...

16
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,200
While this is happening, you are watching. 
You're scheming.

17
00:00:57,300 --> 00:01:01,280
Trying to poke holes in my plan, you're trying 
to get under my skin.

18
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,520
My 25 seconds are up, now it's your 25 seconds.

19
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:05,300
BUT!

20
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:10,500
What I just did in my 25 seconds plays out 
right in front of you,

21
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,200
and this is what it means by 'disrupting 
the past'.

22
00:01:13,300 --> 00:01:17,420
If I pick up my objective during my turn.. 
well, in *your* turn

23
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,700
you can kill my person *before* I pick up 
the objective.

24
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,600
Once your 25 seconds are up, it goes back 
to me, and I can use

25
00:01:24,700 --> 00:01:28,640
any of the operatives, apart from the one 
I used in the first round.

26
00:01:29,100 --> 00:01:32,400
And it just goes back and forth, back and 
forth, and essentially, every

27
00:01:32,500 --> 00:01:36,200
25 seconds is *layered* on top of one another.

28
00:01:36,420 --> 00:01:40,150
So the first round is only one operative, 
but then every round

29
00:01:40,150 --> 00:01:44,630
we just keep adding one more each time until 
it is the tenth round

30
00:01:44,630 --> 00:01:49,180
and it's your turn, and there are nine other 
operatives running around.

31
00:01:49,180 --> 00:01:53,410
So you can, hopefully, see that it will get 
pretty hectic pretty quickly.

32
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,990
Have you got there? Great!  Let's add one 
more layer of complexity.

33
00:01:58,990 --> 00:02:02,560
So this is a shooter game, right? You're 
going to end up dying.

34
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:07,980
That's just inevitable. But this game isn't 
like the other games.

35
00:02:07,980 --> 00:02:10,810
So, when you die, you'll notice it looks 
a little bit different,

36
00:02:10,810 --> 00:02:14,990
and that's because you went into 'ghost mode', 
and that's fine.

37
00:02:14,990 --> 00:02:18,010
Just keep playing as if you're alive,  because 
if you're able to prevent that death

38
00:02:18,010 --> 00:02:22,360
in the future rounds, then everything you 
just did in 'ghost mode'

39
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,990
um... comes true, shall we say. So you can 
see me playing here –

40
00:02:26,100 --> 00:02:28,690
I pick up an objective, and then I die.

41
00:02:28,690 --> 00:02:31,820
But I run back and return the objective anyway.

42
00:02:31,300 --> 00:02:35,800
Even though I technically don't score, in 
the following rounds,

43
00:02:35,900 --> 00:02:39,990
when I save him, I *do* return the objective 
and I score.

44
00:02:39,990 --> 00:02:43,190
Now, look, this is probably *the* most complicated 
part of Lemnis Gate.

45
00:02:43,900 --> 00:02:48,800
If you're still a little unsure, just drop 
me a comment below, and I'll reply to you.

46
00:02:50,300 --> 00:02:54,200
Now, you might be thinking, "Whoa, hold on.. 
whoever goes second

47
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:59,970
gets the last turn, and in which case, wouldn't 
they just win every time?"

48
00:02:59,970 --> 00:03:01,260
And you know what? You'd be right!

49
00:03:01,260 --> 00:03:04,010
Which is why the game is split up into two 
halves.

50
00:03:04,010 --> 00:03:09,940
So if you end up going first in the first 
half, then you're at a disadvantage,

51
00:03:09,940 --> 00:03:12,810
but that just means in the second half you'll 
be going second,

52
00:03:12,810 --> 00:03:13,250
and you'll have the advantage.

53
00:03:13,250 --> 00:03:17,770
You score points not just by taking the objectives, 
although

54
00:03:17,770 --> 00:03:21,420
that should be your main focus, because, 
as you can see from the score board,

55
00:03:21,420 --> 00:03:26,220
objectives are definitely worth the most, 
but you can also get points

56
00:03:26,220 --> 00:03:32,560
through damage dealt and kills. So although 
you may tie when it comes to the objectives,

57
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,510
one of you may get more damage or kills, 
which would mean that you win.

58
00:03:36,510 --> 00:03:40,810
And if you'd like to see a *really* close 
game when it comes down to just 1 point,

59
00:03:40,810 --> 00:03:45,020
then click at the top here and watch that 
 after this video, it is such a close game!

60
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:50,840
But anyway, I digress. So, yes, if you go 
second, you have the advantage,

61
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,550
but you each go second, so it evens out.

62
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:59,000
Now we come to the operatives. The flavour! 
The loose sprinkling on top!

63
00:03:59,700 --> 00:04:03,820
All of the operatives have a unique weapon 
and ability,

64
00:04:03,820 --> 00:04:06,740
which can be used multiple times throughout 
each loop.

65
00:04:06,740 --> 00:04:11,890
Some are faster, some have better damage, 
some have better mobility,

66
00:04:11,890 --> 00:04:15,610
and it's up to you to decide what operative 
is best for the situation.

67
00:04:15,900 --> 00:04:20,600
They all feel really good and unique. None 
feel too overpowered

68
00:04:20,700 --> 00:04:22,400
or anything like that.

69
00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:25,700
And they're also not too difficult to pick 
up and master.

70
00:04:26,970 --> 00:04:28,030
So, you have four separate game modes.

71
00:04:28,030 --> 00:04:31,410
There's "Seek & Destroy". There's "Domination", 
in which,

72
00:04:31,410 --> 00:04:37,720
instead of holding a point, you damage what 
they call a Particle Accelerator,

73
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,040
and once you've put enough damage into it, 
you capture it.

74
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:44,030
But your opponent can come along and put 
damage into it afterwards,

75
00:04:44,030 --> 00:04:46,410
and then capture it for themselves.

76
00:04:46,410 --> 00:04:51,040
You've also got "Retrieve XM", which is kind 
of like Capture the Flag,

77
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:56,140
except that there are multiple flags and 
they call these XM, or Exotic Matter.

78
00:04:56,140 --> 00:04:59,780
So you pick these up and return to your base 
to score.

79
00:04:59,780 --> 00:05:02,430
And then there is standard deathmatch mode.

80
00:05:02,430 --> 00:05:07,980
Currently there are eight different maps, 
all of which are specific to a

81
00:05:07,980 --> 00:05:12,090
certain game mode. Now, the cool thing about 
this is there are lots of

82
00:05:12,090 --> 00:05:15,960
different match types as well. So you can 
see on the screen now,

83
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,040
you can do 1v1 turn-based or you can do simultaneously 
as well, so

84
00:05:19,900 --> 00:05:23,540
you're both playing against each other in 
the same time loop.

85
00:05:23,540 --> 00:05:27,960
And there's also 2v2, and there's lots of 
variations of this. So there's turn based:

86
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:32,250
you can do one where teammates play together, 
or maybe a more interesting one

87
00:05:32,250 --> 00:05:36,950
where enemies play together. Or simultaneous, 
where *everyone* plays together!

88
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:42,400
I hope that I have sufficiently explained 
the time-looping madness of Lemnis Gate.

89
00:05:42,500 --> 00:05:45,800
And please, if you have any questions, or 
if I wasn't clear enough,

90
00:05:45,730 --> 00:05:49,040
let me know in the comments below, and I 
will reply to you.
