Redum of Sun is an archery open-world FPS where you use a bow and arrow to defeat enemies.
It’s a low-poly indie game (as a lot of them are) and your goal is to reclaim your lost land using your just your celestial bow and special powers. You play the role of a hunter-warrior who needs to kill the enemies that have taken over your precious land. You’re a lone hunter armed with just a bow and divine abilities. It’s pretty much like any other hero game.
Redum of Sun draws plays very similarly to classics like Wolfenstein and Doom. The game has you exploring the world and killing all the invaders with your bow and abilities. There are a ton of enemies you need to kill. They spawn around these energy beacons and clump together. So whenever you see a beacon, you know there’s going to be a fight. The game kinda plays like the Serious Sam series. It’s really fun to blast at all the enemies mindlessly and just nuke ’em all.
Your bow is your main weapon of choice and your only weapon. But it can be upgraded by collecting these energy crystals from baddies you kill. The upgraded arrows get modifiers that can do some real damage. You can also find these crystal crates littered around the map that also give you upgrades.
The only problem with Redum of Sun is that it’s extremely difficult. The game is still in a prototype phase so it’ll probably get fixed. The game requires a lot of traveling with no action and there are a few balance issues. But when you do get into a fight, the bow and arrow archery is on-par and the game is just a blast to play. The world is huge and you get the feeling that you’re actually lost in the wilderness. The low-poly graphic style suits the game well and gives you the immersion feeling that you crave.
There are a lot of archery indie games, or archery games in general. Redum of Sun is a unique game in of itself.
