Hardcore Games: "'Are all the characters women?' was my first reaction when I booted up Sunrider: First Arrival, a tactical-RPG/visual novel developed by Love In Space. The title screen unquestionably caters to shonen-manga fans: a giant space-robot flanking all eight of the game’s companion characters, all of whom are wide-eyed anime girls, with characteristic multicolored hair and verging on far-too-young features."
Sunrider's latest installment, Mask of Arcadius, has hit Steam. With a ton of positive revisions to the game, Sunrider cements itself as the paragon of successful Kickstarter gaming ventures.

Admittedly, I stumbled onto Sunrider: First Arrival by complete accident. Simply put, I sent an email to the wrong address and, well, a happy accident happened. Instead of having contacted who it is that I was originally intending, I receive a reply from none other than the developer for Sunrider: First Arrival, an indie visual novel currently enjoying the "beta" stage after an extremely successful Kickstarter campaign (they were looking for $3,000 and raised $44,000!).

Free games are awesome. Even if the game sucks, at least it was free, right? All that was lost was time, and hopefully the game sucked fast.
But when a free game turns out to be pretty freakin’ sweet, that feeling is hard to beat. And for the great price of zero dollars, you too can check out Sunrider: First Arrival and be surprised – pleasantly. For a freebie in beta this game packs more of a space opera wallop than most titles around.
