Stormgate - Detailed breakdown of Blockade co-op hero (Lore, Abilities, Units, Calldowns)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 чер 2024
- Hi everyone, this is my first video; so I'm pretty anxious about it! I know it's not the most professional thing out there.
Much of this will probably be out of date as early as next month, when Stormgate's having a second beta test phase. So I'm a little dumb for making this.
But at the same time, we have so much beta footage and so much info that no one had made a video about yet; and I just really wanted something like this to exist.
Stormgate Kickstarter here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/... (Until February 2nd)
Timestamps:
00:00 - Intro
01:19 - Lore
01:49 - Abilities and Passives
04:07 - Unique Units
10:20 - Calldowns
12:06 - Teamwide Upgrades
12:57 - Wrap up
Video Addendums (will edit more in as necessary):
1) In the slide comparing the Guardsman with the Exo, I have the Exo's Therium cost incorrectly listed as '50'; it should be '25'. Whoops.
2) I didn't say it explicitly, but from what I can tell, Blockade's other units are largely the same as the default Vanguard's units / tech tree. His SCOUTs do have a tech requirement, as opposed to the default Vanguard's SCOUTs, which can be built immediately.
He's not missing anything, like what you might see in an SC2 co-op commander. That's why I didn't cover any other units, since he has access to all the standard Vanguard stuff like Vulcans, Atlases, etc; with no special twists on them.
3) I say that the Guardsman’s button for ‘Dig In’ is replaced with ‘Withdraw’; but that’s not precisely true. As you can see in the footage, it’s more accurate to say that the Dig In button becomes unavailable, and they get a new button to Withdraw.
4) Maybe I shouldn't have put in the shoutout to BeastyQT specifically for the Crusader passive icons; because there were things that other creators tested or checked which no one else did. So maybe that’s a little odd singling him out. But at the same time, I was really bugged by not knowing what those passives were, and was so relieved when he checked. :P

I've seen enough, im subscribing!
Haha, thank you so much! Not all my videos will be like this; but I hope you enjoy the other things I make, too!
Wow amazing video exited to see other videos from your chanel
Thank you very much!! I'm still not sure exactly what I want to do next (if anything), but we'll see! 🤞
Appreciate the overview!
Thank you! It's somewhat out of date already, as several things have changed in the build last month, but a lot of it's still relevant; for now at least! Hoping for even bigger changes in next month's build! :)
Bro has GIs instead of Marines and as someone that has Nostalgia for RA2 that makes me happy.
Yes! Even though Stormgate is a spiritual successor to Blizzard-style RTSs, I love that it has a lot of nods towards other games in the genre, too!
Awesome - really appreciate this summary of everything we can learn from the streams! Blockade looks kind of like the "if you played Terran in SC2, try this guy" hero type. And that's a good one for me!
It’s really interesting because he has a lot of similarities with Terran, but I also think Blockade is a “Warcraft 3 nostalgia” hero as well. I forgot to mention it in the video, but I think ‘Redemption Rift’ is meant to feel like using a Town Portal Scroll in WC3 haha
Great video, I didn't catch all of the content creators streaming co-op, so it was very frustrating to watch the ones I did ignoring all the unit info and playing them exactly like the ladder version of the faction. Gave me the impression co-op was way more underdeveloped than it actually was.
(Yay my first comment!) Yes, I felt similarly! Some streamers did take a closer look at the various aspects of co-op, but this information was strewn and hidden across multiple different VODs from different streamers. And I really wanted an overview video that compiled all known information, in as concise and easy-to-understand a manner as I could
Thank you for giving this video a chance!
Limited time turret + plus super shield at the start of the match? The turret rush in 3v3 will be brutal!
