Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We believe in developing Under a Desert Sun: Seekers of the Cursed Vessel alongside the community. Early Access gives us the opportunity to gather valuable player feedback, refine gameplay mechanics, and expand content based on what resonates most with players. Our goal is to create an engaging and polished experience, and your input will help shape aspects such as additional heroes/classes, story elements, environments, balance adjustments, and potential multiplayer features. By joining us early, you'll be part of the journey as we work toward bringing this action-packed, co-op adventure to its full potential. We hope that player feedback will make the game even more engaging and fun.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our goal is to release the game in phases, starting with Act 1. We aim to have this milestone ready sometime in 2025, with plans for open testing potentially between June and September. This phase is focused on establishing the core technology, gameplay systems, and a significant portion of the story. While development is ongoing, we plan to provide regular updates and expand content as progress continues.

”

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

“Our vision for the full version of the game is to expand upon the Early Access foundation with additional content and features. While development will evolve based on player feedback, here are some of the ideas we hope to implement:

4 to 6 playable classes, each with unique playstyles and abilities
All 4 acts fully playable, completing the epic campaign
Expanded skills, gear, and side quests for all acts and characters
Online multiplayer to join forces with friends worldwide
Even more content based on community feedback and player suggestions

Your input during Early Access will be key in shaping the final experience!"”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of the game includes:

Act 1 is playable but still in active development
Two classes are available, both in active development
Single-player mode is fully playable
Local co-op for up to 4 players using gamepads

”

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

“During Early Access, the game will be available at a lower price. This price will remain unchanged throughout the Early Access period, even as new content is introduced. Once development is complete, we plan to increase the price to reflect the final version of the game.”

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

“As mentioned, open testing is planned as an important part of the early development phases. Our goal is to refine classes and gameplay by iterating on player feedback. We actively engage with our community through Discord, user feedback cycles, and other channels to make the most of early player insights!"”

About This Game

Under a Desert Sun: Seekers of the Cursed Vessel

Venture beneath the burning sands. Face an ancient evil. Survive... or be consumed.

Under a Desert Sun: Seekers of the Cursed Vessel is a single-player and co-op action RPG set against the backdrop of World War II and the supernatural legends of ancient Egypt. Play solo or team up with friends in local co-op (up to 4 players), with full online multiplayer planned during Early Access. Battle through intense combat, deadly traps, and supernatural hordes as you unravel a dark tale of ancient curses, lost treasures, and personal redemption.

Heroes Rise. Darkness Falls.

Take up arms as one of two available heroes, with more on the way as Early Access evolves:

The Soldier – A gruff American WWII veteran, skilled in firearms and explosives. His loyalty to his fallen comrades drives him into a fight far beyond the battlefield he knows.

The Adventurer – A tough-as-nails treasure hunter with Nigerian roots. Sharp with a pistol and sharper with her wit, she’s in it for the gold—but destiny has other plans.

Each hero features two unique skill systems at launch:

A deck-based skill card system for build variety and synergy

A class-specific special weapon skill tree with powerful upgrades

More heroes are in active development during Early Access—including melee, hybrid, and stealth-oriented styles—each expanding the story and deepening the fight against the Heretic King.

Key Features

Single Player & (Online)Co-op Action RPG

Play solo or in local co-op with up to 4 players. Online multiplayer will be added in future updates during Early Access.

Distinct Combat Styles

Master the Soldier’s long-range firepower, grenades, and defensive shields

Utilize the Adventurer’s dual pistols, melee combos, and mystical ethereal bow

Future heroes will bring unique melee, ranged, and hybrid gameplay

Atmospheric Exploration

Explore ancient tombs, open deserts, and war-ravaged ruins—all handcrafted and filled with secrets, traps, and environmental storytelling.

Supernatural Meets Real-World Conflict

Face both Nazi invaders and undead horrors unleashed by a stolen artifact. Fight through a unique setting where historical warfare collides with mythological dread.

A Rich, Cinematic Narrative

Experience a four-act story packed with personal character arcs, high-stakes missions, and the mystery of the cursed vessel.

Act 1 is fully playable in Early Access, with some voice acting already implemented and full VO coming in the final release.

Early Access Roadmap Highlights

2 playable classes at launch

Act 1 fully playable in an open world with story-driven dungeons

Local co-op for up to 4 players

Skill card and weapon upgrade systems available from the start

Randomized loot, inventory, online multiplayer, and additional acts coming in future phases

Community feedback will directly shape development

The Artifact Is Stolen. The Heretic King Awakens. The World Trembles.

Legends spoke of an artifact that binds the soul of an ancient tyrant. But now, stolen by ruthless forces, the seal is broken—and the Heretic King stirs. His undead legions spread across the sands, consuming all in their path.

Only you and your allies stand in the way of oblivion.

Will you survive the curse... or be lost beneath the desert sun?

Wishlist now and join the adventure as the sands of time run out.
