4D Sci-Fi Shooter Lemnis Gate Drops To Just Four Concurrent Players On Steam
Lemnis Gate is a fantastic indie first-person hero shooter that pits players against each other in 4D matches that force them to utilise time to win their fights. It's cerebral and unique, but it doesn't seem to have managed to retain a player-base, as its Steam figures show a current monthly average of just 4.1 players.
Fortunately, these low numbers shouldn't hinder Lemnis Gate too much, as most of the games are 1v1 or 2v2, but it's still sad to see such an interesting game see such a steep drop in players since launch.
