In the game, a rift has opened between worlds, causing a war between very different kinds of characters.

Players will take control of either the fantasy or post-apocalyptic team, and will use action points to move their figures and defeat enemy characters for victory points. Characters respawn when they are defeated, and can even "tag in" a new character from the same team (like one of the Kickstarter exclusive characters) while respawning.

A two player game will take around 60-90 minutes.

The game board is modular, which will allow you to play with 3 or more players (with the  purchase of a pack of differently-shaped rift boards), and will allow future expansion teams to fight these original two teams. The figures in Gatefall are enormous, making them a ton of fun to play with, paint, and look at. Penny is roughly the size of a moose in a typical D&D scale.
