A World Destroyed by the Sky
Seven years ago, the world was devastated not by fire, but by a meteor shower from an alien sky. These meteorites shattered the Earth's surface and opened dimensional fissures called Gates. From these Gates emerged parasitic monsters, creatures that infect humans and destroy civilization.
The planet turned into a dangerous battleground. Cities collapsed. Countries were devastated. Humanity was scattered into small groups of survivors. But from this despair came a strange transformation: some of those infected awakened with terrifying supernatural powers. These chosen ones became known as Espers.
But power came at a price.
Awakening - The Story of Han Gaon
The story begins with Han Gaon, a man who awakens after seven years of unconsciousness to find a stranger sitting above him, breathing and alive. The world he once knew is gone.
A fragment of a meteorite remains embedded in his chest, connecting him to the catastrophe that devastated the world. Outside, the skies are filled with creatures, and the ruins of Korea stretch endlessly.
Han Gon soon discovers that he is a Leader, a special being who can harness the dangerous power of Espers. As he searches for answers about his awakening, a question haunts him:
Why was he chosen - and what secret does the meteorite fragment hold?
Espers and Leaders
Espers possess tremendous fighting skills - yet their abilities drive them mad. Their powers are uncontrolled, violent, and self-destructive. When unbridled, they eventually lose control.
This rein comes in the form of Leaders.
Leaders are the only ones who can calm, stabilize, and control Espers. Their relationship is not only strategic but also emotional, physical, and mental. This bond is based on desire, protection, dominance, devotion, passion, and love.
In Zerowake Gates, only strength ensures survival. It's based on the dangerous intimacy between Esper and Guide. To survive, they must desire each other.
Korea's Fall and the Rise of the Faction
Following the meteorite devastation, Korea became one of the hardest-hit regions on Earth. Gates opened across the country, and creatures took over cities. Humanity's survivors formed various factions, each with their own ideology and rules of survival:
Awakened guilds like New Tiger, Dawn Dragon, and Tool
710 Commando and S.E.M.A. Research Institute-like military organization
Wanderers, loyalists, and homeless survivors
These groups compete for power, control, and the secrets of the gate - with espers and guides at the center of every battle.
Gameplay Overview - Strategy and Greed
Pair System: The Heart of Combat
Each esper must be paired with a guide to unlock their full potential. Pairings activate powerful synergies that impact both combat performance and the story's outcome.
Strategy Through Deckbuilding
Players create and manage a deck of cards that determines attacks, defenses, buffs, and special effects. Each round becomes a test of strategic thinking and emotional risk-taking.
Gacha System
Zerowake Gates APK uses a character-based gacha system where the goal is to collect Espers and Guides. Players summon characters through banners and strategically assemble teams with synergistic pairings.
There are currently two main banner types:
- Standard Banner - Normal character selection
- Rated-Up Banner - Increases the chance of summoning selected characters
When a linked Esper-Guide pair is placed on the same team, additional power bonuses are activated. This makes team composition as important as raw power.
