Beyond Sunset

Neon, sickness, and corporate violence define a future city where surviving the night means becoming more dangerous than everyone hunting you. Beyond Sunset is a retro-styled cyberpunk FPS that casts you as Lucy, an amnesiac fighter pulled from cryosleep with unnatural reflexes and lethal new talents. A fixer named Yuri offers answers about your past, but only if you work as a street samurai in Sunset City’s criminal underworld. The mood is grimy, fast, and paranoid, with plague-ravaged streets, hostile gangs, and powerful interests turning every job into another clue about who you were.

Combat keeps the focus on speed, precision, and aggressive movement. Lucy blasts through armed enemies with an expanding arsenal while using enhanced agility and supernatural powers to gain an edge in firefights, making positioning and quick reactions as important as raw aim. Missions send you through dense urban spaces and dangerous interiors, where combat encounters, exploration, conversations, and objectives feed into the larger mystery. Rather than presenting a slow tactical shooter, it favors the immediate satisfaction of old-school FPS gunplay, but the cyberpunk setting gives the action more narrative purpose than a simple arena crawl.

Its strongest feature is the collision of crunchy, throwback shooter design with a character-driven cyberpunk premise. Pixelated visuals and hard-edged neon atmosphere evoke classic 1990s shooters, while the focus on memory loss, criminal work, and alliances gives Sunset City a stronger identity than a generic dystopian backdrop. The supernatural angle also helps the protagonist feel distinct from the usual gun-toting mercenary, adding flair to both movement and combat. Fans of DOOM-style momentum, Deus Ex-inspired cyberpunk mood, and boomer shooters with a story to tell should find plenty to like, while newcomers can enjoy it as a direct, action-first entry point into the genre.
