Dreamgate, a turn-based deck-building battler is now out in Early Access with Linux support giving you another game that wants you to have just one more turn. Note: Key provided by the developer.

As it turns out, it's the same developer who made Fate Hunters but they went their own way to create a new game "because the rights to it did not belong to our team". With that in mind, it does currently play very similarly including having a no-mana system so you play as many cards as you can in a turn.

While it does have the basics of Fate Hunters, they're keen to note it's more than just a re-skin. They added entirely new features like a talent tree and an events system. Their roadmap sounds interesting including modding support, new heroes, new cards, card upgrades, a map and quite a lot more.

A lot of the standard mechanics you would expect are there including enemy cards that can have a Shield to negate the first damage dealt to them, while others can Taunt you so you're forced to attack them first. I've tripped up on the Taunt a few times, while powering up my first attack with one of my own cards only to realize I've waste it. The cards you get are a decently varied mix once you get going too.

It's currently a very easy pick up and play game, with simple battles that just flow together one after the other and it feels quite easy-going especially as you can save and quit any time you like to pick it back up for another few turns another day. I'm a huge fan of deck-builders like this and Slay the Spire, so I found it reasonably fun to blast through a bunch of turns and build up a decent deck and character. Once they do have more game mechanics in, I will take another look.

You can find Dreamgate on Steam in Early Access.

This is Fate Hunters if anyone else is wondering.


Seems like an odd situation. It looks more like a Hearthstone clone to me.

Very tempted to get Dreamgate, as I loved both Slay The Spire and Fate Hunters. Currently it is at 20% discount on Steam (as I type this).
