'Beyond Sunset' Shows Off Ep.2: Hostile Takeover - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on July 17, 2023 @ 4:31 p.m. PDT

Beyond Sunset is an RPG/shooter made by using a port of the original Doom engine.

You are Lucy, an enhanced street samurai searching for lost memories. Fight yakuza, zombies & robots in large, open, interactive levels. Inspired by Doom Eternal & Deus Ex, made using a modernized Doom II engine!

Sunset City, 20XX. You wake up in a strange facility. Everything wants you dead.

You awake from cryostasis with memories lost in the confusing fog of hypersleep. Immediately you begin to manifest powerful abilities. Lightning-fast reactions. Innate combat skills. Near-supernatural agility.

Your talents are quickly recognized. A mysterious woman named Yuri offers you a deal. In exchange for getting your memories back, you need to utilise your powers to become a street samurai in the crime-ridden, plague-stricken Sunset City.


Beyond Sunset's episodic structure reflects the 1990s shooters with every episode introducing a new take on the visual style and gameplay mechanics.

Episode 2: Hostile Takeover is a large, open, quest-filled area with a style inspired by Blade Runner.

Episode 2 takes place in a technological megastructure. It's more abstract and we designed it to function as a living and breathing organism, to make it not only more interesting for the player but to add more variety to the gameplay.

Key Features:

  • Fluid Movement: High-octane first-person action with advanced movements for dashing, sliding and other acrobatics.
  • RPG Elements: Interact with NPCs, learn the lore of Sunset City, take side missions and upgrade your abilities.
  • Lo-fi Aesthetic: Inspired by classic first-person shooters, from Doom to Duke Nukem 3D to Blood.
  • Synthwave Vibe: Hear an original vaporwave soundtrack composed by synthwave legend Karl Vincent.
  • Mod Support: Create and share your own levels, weapons and more with richly-featured free and open-source tools.

Beyond Sunset is coming to PC (Steam) in 2023.
