The ad is the game. No pay-to-win. No fake close buttons. No loot boxes.

First game

Gate Legion: Army Runner

The gate decision is only the start. The army you build has to survive what comes next.

Available on Google Play

Pick the gate. Build the army. Face the next fight.

A multiplier pays off when you've kept the squad alive. A big addition can rescue a thin army. Your choice follows you down the lane and into the enemy formation waiting ahead.

Mixed enemies, hazards, and bosses make the unit mix matter. Finish a run and there's another route to try, stars to earn, and more to discover in the Monster Library, Boss Rush, Endless, Daily and Weekly Challenges.

Actual gameplay

This is what you play.

Real captures from Gate Legion: the army, the enemies, and the fights after the gate.

The Monster Library lists discovered enemy troops, including Grunts, Brutes, Bow Raiders, and Shields.
Know your enemies. Discover rivals and learn their roles.
A 150-soldier formation of infantry, archers and heavies approaches gates that add archers or double the heavy units.
Build your army. Each unit type has a role in the next fight.
A squad fights the Stormcaller boss beneath its health bar during a campaign run.
Face the boss. The route you chose shapes the encounter.

Watch one choice

One gate changes the fight.

Watch the squad take a ×2 gate and meet the next enemy wave.

The NoBait standard

The fun should last past the ad.

The gate choice is quick. Getting the next one right can take another run.

PLAY

Your gate choice matters.

The army from the ad is the army you steer. What gets through the gate has to face the next fight.

CHOICE

There's a reason to try again.

Replay a level for a better route, take on a boss with a different squad, or jump into Endless or the Daily Challenge.

CRAFT

A purchase won't win for you.

No loot boxes or paid power. Rewarded ads are optional, automatic ads belong at natural breaks, and close controls should be clear.

About NoBait

We wanted to play the game in the ad.

NoBait Games logo

We kept seeing a little army run towards a gate and thinking, “I'd play that.” Too often, the download went somewhere else. NoBait Games is an Australian independent mobile game studio built to make the promised game real.

Gate Legion starts with the decision you wanted to make. The gate changes the squad, the squad meets the enemy, and the next run starts with a better idea. We keep advertising restrained and leave out deceptive close controls, loot boxes, and paid power.

Gate Legion is our first announced game. More are in development.
