Sunrise 7

Having beaten it in its entirety, this game was far more enjoyable than most of the new releases I've played. I want to say, before going further, that this game is hard and suffers from a lack of player base. Nobody understands what they're getting into and nobody wants to put in the effort to find out. I understand the reasonable skepticism with the game's difficulty and lack of initial hit, but I want to clear a few of those things up in this review, as it surprises me that this game has not even slightly caught on yet with some audience. The game has a free trial you should probably check out before buying it. If the free trial piques your interest in the game, I'd be very surprised if the rest of the game didn't. Also, the soundtrack, while listed as DLC here, is also available for free viewing on YouTube. A quick "Sunrise 7 Ryan Wheeler" search'll get you there. The soundtrack is one of the strengths of this game, so I'd recommend checking it out if you're on the fence. [hr][...

How do I go about describing this Sunrise 7?

By providing far more than just the premise, but far more. In this world you are a shadow, and not just any shadow but a shadow in a world of many burning suns; suns that wish for nothing short of your very own demise. A world described as such may sound bleak and desolate, yet Sunrise 7 rises above and beyond the tenuous situation. The 2D aesthetic makes you feel on par with your surroundings, it's a world that will never welcome you with o...

This game is tough but rewarding! Need quick reflexes and good timing to beat the game. Interesting story, great music, cool artwork. You’ve got a time limit to beat each level, and the level re-generates differently each time you play. There’s a mystery and I NEED to know how it ends. Thanks to coronavirus lockdown I’ve got plenty of time and will keep working my way through. RECOMMEND!!

Good story, good art, and great music! Fun and difficult game. Hoping to beat it one of these days lol
