House of the Dying Sun is a tactical space shooter that puts you in the cockpit of the Empire's most deadly interceptor and in command of the Harbinger Fleet. Hunt down the enemies of your dying empire and upgrade your warships with new weapons and abilities earned during your campaign of terror.
Pretty much a first person homeworld experience. Amazing art, sound and addicting gameplay. Only issue is that the content is quite limited (very short campaign). Overall, an amazing and fun game.
Great game with a dark and gripping atmosphere. The music, audio design, and gameplay really make it solid. The composer did a stellar job with its tribal-esque soundtrack, with constant war drums pounding in battles, and ominous choirs in the mission select screen. The muted sound of everything outside your ship, as well as the respirator in your cockpit, contribute to the immersion of being in a fighter--it's the only thing protecting you from the vacuum of space. Weapons and destruction feel *great,* and the drums for the menu audio really add to the adrenaline. AI is smart, difficulty changes AI intelligence and ship variance, and the fighters feel solid to fly. The tactical overview, as well as the limited number of active modules you can have, really sell the point of a tactics-oriented space shooter. It may be short, but the journey and conclusion(s) are worth it.
I bought this game today and I'm blown away by it. You've created an engrosing atmosphere with brilliant art direction and sound design, a simple but impactful story and equally simple but impactful graphics. The gameplay is intense, challenging and addictive. Amazing work.
