Race to the top in Dragon Gate: Tournament, a high-stakes sci-fi combat racing game. Compete in deadly sprints filled with power-ups, hazards, and fierce rivalries, where only the fastest and strongest survive. Will you ascend to the stars or be left behind?
In Dragon Gate: Tournament, three to six players race against each other in multiple high-speed sprints, competing to earn points. A sprint ends when only one player remains, as any player who falls too far behind the leader is eliminated by a powerful enormous orbital beam.
Upgrade your car with Power-UPs such as a Gatling Gun, Explosive Barrels or a Portal Cannon to give you the advantage you need to outrun your rivals.
Even after elimination, players can still influence the outcome by launching homing missiles at the remaining racers, impacting the race and shaping victory or defeat!
The race tracks are packed with secrets, hidden shortcuts and mechanics to discover. Will they help you to victory or bring about your downfall?
Points are awarded or deducted based on each player’s finishing position. The first player to accumulate 10 points across several sprints wins the game. Alliances between players can ensure that the leaders are taken out of the race. But how long will they last?
This update focuses on improving gameplay feel, adding polish to presentation, and laying the groundwork for the upcoming content updates. Youll notice smarter AI, better performance, new visual effects, and a reworked tutorial experience.
