Lemnis Gate Dev Diary #2 | Ways to Play
Welcome, Operatives!
The Quantum Highway has opened once again and a new signal has come through.
The second Lemnis Gate Developer Diary is now available for viewing on YouTube. Game Director James Anderson and 3D Artist Corey Kasperski from Ratloop Games Canada, and Community Manager Jens Erik Vaaler from Frontier break down the game's Modes and Match Types.
If you're unable to watch the Dev Diary, we've gathered the core information about Lemnis Gate's Game Modes and Match Types below.
Game Modes:
Players will be able to enjoy 4 separate Game Modes in Lemnis Gate: Retrieve XM, Domination, Seek & Destroy, and Deathmatch. Each puts a unique spin on FPS staples thanks to the 25 second time loop mechanic at the center of Lemnis Gate's gameplay:
Match Types:
In Lemnis Gate, there are multiple ways to play the game, depending on your preference. These can be mixed and matched by number of players and how you want the turn-based time loop mechanic to play out.
Cross-matchmaking is also available! This is an optional feature that enables you to play against Operatives from any platform, however if you’d prefer to only play against Operatives on the same platform this can be changed in the settings. In addition, those who are looking to challenge their friends can do so in private matches as long as you’re on the same platform. Private matches may not reward XP, but you will be able to determine who has the ultimate bragging rights between you and your friends!
There are a lot of different ways you can play Lemnis Gate and we hope you now have a better grasp of the Game Modes and Match Types you have available in the game.

You should also join the official Lemnis Gate Discord server to talk everything Lemnis Gate with the rest of the community and the developers from Ratloop Games Canada.

Game Modes:
Players will be able to enjoy 4 separate Game Modes in Lemnis Gate: Retrieve XM, Domination, Seek & Destroy, and Deathmatch. Each puts a unique spin on FPS staples thanks to the 25 second time loop mechanic at the center of Lemnis Gate's gameplay:
- Retrieve XM
- In this mode you need to collect Exotic Matter (XM) and return it to your base in order to power the Lemnis Gate, while preventing your enemies from doing the same. The team holding the most XM Pods by the end of the fifth round is declared victorious. Anything can happen when timelines and actions start stacking on top of each other, and nothing is set until the very end.
- Domination
- Domination is all about map control. You'll need to work smart to capture and control Particle Accelerators spread across the map. Whoever controls the most by the end of the fifth round is declared the winner. Accelerators are activated on impact and can be quickly triggered by shooting at them. Set up traps to funnel your enemy into a disadvantageous position, and use whatever opportunities you can do seize the Accelerators.
- Seek & Destroy
- Seek and Destroy puts you in the role of either attacker or defender. The attacking team has five rounds to destroy Resistors, while the defending team tries to prevent the assault. If any resistors are destroyed by the end of the fifth round, the defending team loses. Once the first half of the match is over, the teams swap roles and the second half begins.
- Deathmatch
- As the name suggestions, this mode lets you face off against your opponent(s) in a straight up deathmatch, but with a time loop twist.
Match Types:
In Lemnis Gate, there are multiple ways to play the game, depending on your preference. These can be mixed and matched by number of players and how you want the turn-based time loop mechanic to play out.
- 1v1
- Do you enjoy playing solo? Then 1v1 is the Match Type for you. Here you face off against a single opponent over the course of a match to determine who controls the greatest team of operatives
- 2v2
- If you prefer the company of others you can dive into a 2v2 Match Type, where you and a friend face off against two other players as you battle over the objectives.
- Turn-based
- Turn-based combat is the core Lemnis Gate experience. In each match you will play five 25 second rounds, and your actions will loop and repeat in subsequent rounds. You and your opponent take turns adding your operatives to the time loop, but you won't know who's won until the final round.
- Simultaneous
- Simultaneous is the Match Type for players looking for a different type of challenge. Players add their operatives into the loop at the same time, but time still loops and repeats!
Cross-matchmaking is also available! This is an optional feature that enables you to play against Operatives from any platform, however if you’d prefer to only play against Operatives on the same platform this can be changed in the settings. In addition, those who are looking to challenge their friends can do so in private matches as long as you’re on the same platform. Private matches may not reward XP, but you will be able to determine who has the ultimate bragging rights between you and your friends!
