Cartoon aesthetics, power-ups, gigantic final bosses and a plethora of playable characters will come together in a shooter in which each game will be a different adventure.

Die After Sunset is an original third-person roguelike shooter featuring open environments where the difference between light and shadow is particularly important.

In each level the player will have to get the best possible equipment among a selection of crazy artifacts. It depends on it to be able to overcome all the challenges and to unravel the mystery behind the Murkor invasion, some nice alien beings at first sight... until they are covered by the darkness.

Journalist April Blazestrong is the initial and main character on Die After Sunset; investigating the inner workings of a crashed alien ship she activates her Artificial Intelligence which, against all odds, will help her stop the Murkor invasion. Thanks to the AI, April will have the direction, technology and weapons needed to unlock the secrets of the invasion, but she must do so before the sun sets. 

PQube and developer Playstark are pleased to release the first of the big Steam Early Access updates for Die After Sunset.

Die After Sunset - Update 1 features:

• Brand new level  - Visit the icy village of Yggdrasil and aid their fight against the Murkor threat.
• New Items - Tool up with brand new items like the 'Pocket Shield' and 'Fire Drone'!
• New Boss - Something evil lurks at the heart of the village... Be careful once sunset comes around...
• Bug Fixes & Game Balancing - Huge amount of bug fixes, game balancing and unlocks; with submachine-gunning cyborg 'Rido' available to play straight away! 

This is just the start!

Update #2 (April 2022)

New Character - New Items - Fixes - Item Balancing

And then... there were three. Brand new character 'Hune' joins April and Rido to make for three playable characters to choose from! Hune's playstyle is different... to say the least. Keep an eye out in March to learn a little more about her!

Update #3 (May 2022)

The Final Level - New Missions - New Murkor - Fixes - Item Balancing

In May, you'll go head-to-head with NegaMurk...

The alien creature that is responsible for the attack on Earth. Take on the game's final boss in a brand new level that'll test your skills to the limits. 

To make matters worse, a brand new Murkor-type plagues the map. Luckily, you'll have a new batch of missions to help power yourself up to help tackle this new infestation!

Luckily, April won't be facing the Murkors alone, as she will unlock playable characters to help her in her quest as she progresses through the levels. Each one of them will bring new specific skills that will offer the player different ways to face the invasion.

Playing Die After Sunset means fighting a countdown at every level, which marks the inevitable arrival of one of the Murkor leaders. The player has to manage to delay the appearance of the boss as much as possible by completing randomly generated and assigned missions in real time: Destroy Murkor nests that are about to explode, prevent these aliens from eating the museum pieces, manage to reactivate the electricity to avoid running out of light...

Coming out victorious in these missions with the best possible result will offer unique improvements to the player and the extra time needed to make it to the head of the area and advance to the next adventure a little closer to nightfall.

Key Features:

• Battle alien forces against the clock to prevent them extinguishing the sun and thwart their invasion
• Chaotic third-person shooter with unique light and dark mechanics
• Rogue-lite gameplay featuring permanent upgrades and meta-progression
• Complete all levels in one clean run, fall at any point, and it's back to the beginning!
• Weapons, power-ups, and a plethora of playable characters to unlock
• Procedurally generated enemies, quests and loot drops that make every run a totally different challenge
• Battle Murkors, adorable and clumsy aliens in daylight, but vicious intergalactic beasts in the shadows
• Countdown in every run to gigantic boss battles
• Coming to Steam Early Access later this year with 2 single player levels
• Free massive multiplayer update and many more arenas to come

Die After Sunset will hit PC (Steam) and consoles in 2022.
