About This Game



Setting Sun is an Co-op Rogue-lite Dungeon Crawler.
It's set in a universe during the Japanese Edo period where Yokai roam the world freely.
The land is in turmoil because the Shogun rules with an iron fist.
A couple of wanderers answer the call to help mankind and fight the source of the corruption together.

THE SHOGUN'S DOMAIN

Traverse through a randomly generated room-based dungeon covering multiple zones on your way to the castle.
Several different types of rooms can be discovered on your way to the boss like enemy rooms, healing rooms, gamble rooms,...

THE SHINTO PANTHEON WATCHES OVER YOU

You have a chance to discover Dragon Shrines in the dungeon which will allow you to alter your abilities for that dungeon run.
So each time you start a new dungeon run you can try out a different build.

REBUILD THE VILLAGE

Aside from the dungeon the game also contains a village.
The village is like a sanctuary for the player where he can roam around before and after dungeon runs, talk to NPCs, buy upgrades, craft gear and more!
When you first start the game, the town is pretty abandoned.
But along your travels in the dungeon, you have a chance to find new characters to recruit to your town which unlocks new features.

For example finding Masamune on your travels will unlock the blacksmith in town and will allow you to craft new gear with better stats.

THE WANDERER

Multiple classes are planned but the first playable class in Setting Sun is the Ronin.
A Ronin was a Samurai without a master. An expert in the art of sword fighting but one who chose not to honor the code of the Warrior and thus considered "on his own" or a vagrant.

MAIN FEATURES

  • Slice your way through a procedurally generated dungeon
  • Master a skill-based fighting system
  • Learn the ways of the Ronin class (and several other classes planned)
  • Fight the Shogun's army, thiefs, Yakuza and even Yokai
  • Try out different builds each run by discovering new blessings
  • Play the game solo or couch co-op
  • Recruit new allies and bring life back to the village
  • Unlock new buildings and features in town
  • Find new patterns to craft different gear sets or cook new Sushi dishes
  • Enjoy a unique trapanese soundtrack
  • Take a relaxing bath in the hot springs
