“We want the community to be key and be part of the evolution of this title.

What is Die After Sunset?
Die After Sunset is a unique third-person rougelite with enough innovation to shake up the genre. Players will attempt to defeat upwards of five levels in a single run while dealing with an alien invasion. While in the light the Murkor aliens are rather adorable, should they reach the shadows they’ll turn into terrifying beasts. You’ll complete randomised quests, collect a whole load of loot and prepare yourself to fend off against deadly bosses. There’s so much more to discover in Die After Sunset, but here is just some of what you can expect:
- Fight against a unique horde of aliens that are stronger in the dark
- Equip yourself with dozens of unique items and power ups
- Bide your time before the boss arrives by completing randomised quests and challenges
- Take on three unique bosses in frighteningly fearsome battles
- Immerse yourself in the game’s stunning world
- Play alongside friends in the Co-op mode.
