Setting Sun v0.9

Setting Sun is an atmospheric co-op rogue-lite dungeon crawler that transports you to a universe inspired by Japan’s Edo period—a time when Yokai roamed freely and the Shogun ruled with an iron fist. In this turbulent world, you take on the role of a wandering hero, starting with the Ronin, a master swordsman without a master, and answer the call to free the land from corruption.

One of the most appealing aspects of Setting Sun is its procedurally generated, room-based dungeons. Every run offers a fresh experience as you explore multiple zones, encountering enemy-filled corridors, healing rooms, gamble rooms, and more. The unpredictability of each layout, paired with a skill-based fighting system, keeps every encounter both challenging and rewarding.

Key features include:

• A rich setting in feudal Japan, where mythical Yokai and the oppressive Shogun’s forces create an engaging backdrop.

• Procedurally generated dungeons with diverse room types that ensure no two runs feel the same.

• The opportunity to discover Dragon Shrines, which let you modify and experiment with different abilities, encouraging players to try a variety of builds with every new run.

• A dynamic village hub that serves as a sanctuary between dungeon runs. Here, you can explore, interact with NPCs, recruit new allies, and gradually rebuild the town by unlocking new buildings and features. For example, recruiting Masamune unlocks a blacksmith to craft upgraded gear.

• A focus on replayability with multiple classes planned beyond the initial Ronin, ensuring that as you master one fighting style, there’s always another to explore.

• Both solo and couch co-op gameplay options, emphasizing a communal gaming experience where teamwork and strategy are essential.

• An immersive experience enriched by a unique, trapanese soundtrack and delightful touches like relaxing baths in the hot springs.

Setting Sun perfectly blends traditional themes with modern roguelite mechanics. Whether you enjoy slicing through relentless enemies in a skill-based combat system, tinkering with your abilities through newfound blessings, or gradually revitalizing a once-abandoned village, this game offers a rich, evolving journey through a beautifully rendered historical fantasy world.
