About the Game

Discover a new world set in an alternate timeline of Sun Haven, one where a hero never arrived. Without a hero to save the day, Dynus, the Moon Dragon, has conquered the lands, and now it’s up to you to wage a heroic last stand against his monsters. Complete objectives to gain more power, meet and befriend your neighbors, and even fall in love and get married! Take your place in the battle against the setting sun.


Play as Darius, recently crowned Demon King of Withergate, Lucia, Archmage of Sun Haven, and Jas, Master Summoner, or Artemis, Amari Bounty Hunter. With the help of over 13 unique abilities, defend your home against hordes of quirky yet dangerous monsters by using weapons and spells such as:

  • Swords, bows, and snowball launchers
  • Fireballs, magical auras, and lightning blasts
  • Stinky egg cannons, piercing carrot ballistas, and milk machine guns
  • Puppies, dragons, and even handsome lizard archers

Upgrade your weapons, skills, pets, and abilities by gaining skill cards, which are drawn every time you level up. After every loss, make sure to use the weapons rack and anvil to unlock and upgrade your character and ability stats across all 4 characters permanently! Grow in strength, create your perfect build, and send those monsters packing!


Use your limited daytime hours wisely to craft, collect resources, and access the shop – or you may end up overrun by monsters. You’ll face constant waves of enemies during the day, and once Sun Down comes, the fighting gets even tougher!


Collect resources to build over 35 crafting items. By growing and selling crops, ore, and animal products, you can earn gold to purchase spell, weapon, and ability upgrades! The upgrades you purchase with money stack indefinitely!


Can you defeat Dynus and his hordes of monsters before it’s too late?
