Setting Sun

Setting Sun is a Couch Co-op Roguelite Action RPG.

It's set in a mystical 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 mysterious wanderers answer the call to help mankind and try to fight the source of the corruption together.

Game features The town & dungeon

The game consists of a randomly generated dungeon and a town.

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 for your town. This way, you can unlock 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.

Each time you die, you resurrect back in town and you will be able to buy new upgrades for your character which you will need because the dungeon will get progressively harder.

The Ronin

The Setting Sun demo currently contains one playable class: The Ronin.

A Ronin is a Samurai without a master.

The Ronin class has 3 offensive abilities, 2 defensive abilities from the start.

The Ronin’s current resource is stamina which is used by the defensive abilities and slowly regenerates over time.

Check out this IndieDB article that goes more in depth about the Ronin's abilities.

Aside from that 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.

What's Next

This is the first public demo people can try out so I can get some feedback and fix some possible bugs players may find.

At the moment it contains the single player part of the game and the first level of the dungeon "The bamboo forest".

Meanwhile I'll be working on the next update which will contain the co-op and any changes/possible bugs players have found in this build.

Finally the goal is to launch a kickstarter which will allow me to hopefully get some funding to hire more help and finish the rest of the project within a reasonable time frame. 

And that about wraps it up.
