The Sun: Origin represents an engaging post-apocalyptic RPG shooter. In the game, the player survives a destroyed world affected by a solar catastrophe. Assuming the role of a survivor, the player traverses a wasteland where you will encounter grave hazards and dangers, including mutants, aggressive survivors, and the dangerous environment. The game offers multiple tactical shooting mechanics involved with RPG gameplay to provide a compelling yet difficult survival experience.
One of the strengths of the game is the open-world experience with endless exploration. While exploration brings endless opportunities for resources, the wasteland is an equally dangerous environment. Players must explore every inch of the environment in the hopes of finding valuable looting; however, you must always be conscious of bandits and mutants lurking behind the next object or the next corner. The world is an exceptionally grim world design; at the same time, it is a realistic world design that scales to the desperate and seriousness of 'survival.' The dynamic day-night cycle adds immersion where every trip into the wild feels thrilling and unpredictable.
The character-building system in The Sun: Origin is rich. A player has full control over your class choice and may specialize or develop your character’s skills and abilities. As the character levels up, the character becomes more capable and develops new combat options and survivability. Additionally, crafting is important in the game, as players will need to use personalized and maximum resources to craft weapons, armor, and equipment to survive.
The combat is intense and tactical. It will require serious consideration and planning prior to entering into a fight with bandits or mutants. Resources and ammunition are limited; planning is necessary if you expect to survive while fighting. If you would like to flip the battle in your favor when it comes down to the health of a mutant or survivor, crafting and improving gear will add a huge advantage.
Overall, The Sun: Origin provides a fully engaging and rich experience in a post-apocalyptic environment; it offers endless exploration, character building, and tactical combat—all in a memorable post-apocalyptic experience. If you enjoy survival games that utilize everything you know about survival decisions and resource management decision-making, you should definitely dive into this game.
