Roguelite Die After Sunset is Coming to Early Access Soon

The Roguelike/Roguelite genre has really been booming lately. Games like Hades have shown that the genre is a great vehicle for quality storytelling and fun action. Now, developer Playstark is coordinating with PQube, to bring their newest game to PC and consoles in 2022.

However, before that, they have announced that the game will be coming to Steam for an Early Access period. Here is what the Steam page has to say about the overall premise of Die After Sunset. “Die After Sunset is a 3rd person roguelite shooter with a unique light and darkness mechanic. Conquer 5 unique levels in a single run in this refreshing take on the roguelite genre.

With dozens of items, gear, abilities, and perks to synergize together on each run, you must prepare yourself to become as powerful as you can before the boss arrives! Fall at any point, and it’s back to the very beginning… Between runs – unlock new stats, items, gear, and even new playable characters to drive off the Murkor invaders once and for all!”

The press release also provided a variety of information, including:

Battle alien forces against the clock to prevent them extinguishing the sun and thwart their invasion
A chaotic third-person shooter with unique light and dark mechanics
Rogue-lite gameplay featuring permanent upgrades and meta-progression
Complete all levels in one clean run, fall at any point, and it’s back to the beginning!

Weapons, power-ups, and a plethora of playable characters to unlock
Procedurally generated enemies, quests, and loot drops that make every run a totally different challenge
Battle Murkors, adorable and clumsy aliens in daylight, but vicious intergalactic beasts in the shadows
Countdown in every run to gigantic boss battles

Have a nice weekend you all!#Gamedev #indiedev #DieAfterSunset pic.twitter.com/2K5FedH1CQ
