Evaluation

Die After Sunset launched into Early Access on February 11, 2022 and received three major content updates during that period: Content Update #1 (April 6, 2022) added a new level, boss, and items; Content Update #2 (May 18, 2022) introduced the third playable character, Hune; and Content Update #3 (July 20, 2022) added the fifth level and final boss. The game then officially graduated out of Early Access to its full 1.0 release on August 17, 2023. The 1.0 launch post from August 17, 2023 is the last meaningful developer communication in the dataset. There are no DLC listings, no announced future content, no roadmaps, and no developer posts after the launch date describing plans for additional updates. The scan of 49 news posts found only 5 major content releases — all of which occurred during or at the conclusion of the Early Access period — and no post-launch major content updates. The game launched its 1.0 version as a complete package, with all planned content from the Early Access roadmap delivered. There is no indication of post-launch DLC, expansions, or further updates. The game appears to have shipped as a finished product at 1.0.

About this game

The year is 2120. An alien race referred to as the ‘Murkors’ have invaded every corner of earth with their unrivalled power and… rubber duck hats. The resistance holds out to prevent the extinction of humanity, but not for long. It’s up to you as a defender of earth to level up and take on the murkor hordes… before the sun sets.

No run is ever the same in this action-packed, adrenaline-fueled roguelite shooter. Start in a new location every time you play, complete randomised quests, make yourself stronger with items you collect and take on gigantic bosses at the end of each level.

Pick between three vastly unique characters to start your run with. Each character comes equipped with a standard primary weapon and special attack. Choose wisely between sharp-shooter April, half-man-half-cyborg, machine-gun wielding Rido and… Hune, a murkor experiment gone wrong.

You will be met with murkors shortly after spawning into Waikiki Beach. Be alert, defender… and FIGHT IN THE LIGHT. Murkors draw their power from the shadows, growing in size and strength. Strategically position yourself so the sun is always beaming down on you, and your enemies. (Sun cream is supplied as standard issue).

Open chests and complete missions to power up and equip new weapons. Collect as much as you can before the sun sets to give you the best possible chance in fighting murkor bosses. Items can give you anything from the ability to double jump, to a weapon like the refreshing ray – which is not-so refreshing for the murkors.

Collect ‘Mucus’ dropped by Murkors as they are defeated - this will become the currency you can bank. With ‘Mucus’ in the bank you can progress level-trees and make yourself stronger on every run. That’s right, defender… Death is not the end for you! (Or so we’ve been told to tell you. Just go and defend earth).
