What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Currently, the game presents 7 scenarios ranging from 1920 to 1927, 27 playable factions, and more than 70 historical characters.
Some scenarios are dense enough to have been a game on their own right (like the Shanghai Uprising).
So we are confident this game can already give you hours of fun.

We have been in Early access since september 2022, and the game is getting better each day, thanks to the community feedback.

Let's keep that winning formula!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The actual road map plans 6 more months of development before final release.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“What features are planned for the final release?

We plan to add more content:
More playable scenarios, more provinces, more characters, etc...”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“At the moment, 7 scenarios are playable.
There is also a tutorial.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to increase the price after each major update, and also for the final release.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Players feedback are highly needed to improve the UI, the Wiki and the tooltips, the game balance, and the AI .

Feedbacks are collected on the game's Discord and the Steam forums.
And good features proposed by the players have a real chance to end up in the game.”

About This Game

Rise of the White Sun is the deepest grand strategy game of the Chinese Warlord era.

I made this game because I want to you become totally crazy about that fascinating era.

I want you to be bored by all the other grand strategy games after having played as a greedy insane warlord.

Of course, you will have all the standards features of other grand strategy games, like building your empire, doing diplomacy and leading military expeditions...
But you will soon find out that no other game prepared you to lead a loose clique of unreliable opium addict warlords commanding massive unruly (and unpaid) armies.

I am convinced you will also enjoy playing as an underground communist activist, a secret society grand master, a "lord of the mountain" bandit king, or a cunning Kuomintang politician.

Given all the feedback I've collected, you players, love the historical accuracy of the game, its great replayability, the distinct flavour of the different factions and the game's fresh take on strategy games.

Have fun!

Maestro Cinetik

PS: You know nothing about 1920's China?
How lucky you are!
A new world of intrigue, murky plots, and treacherous military ventures awaits!
Believe me, for you, there will be no coming back to boring WW2 grand strategy games after tasting the chaos of 1920's China!
