About Sunbreak War

When night falls, hordes of undead will invade this land. A young warrior carrying the dragon's legacy follows an ancient oath to confront the encroaching darkness. You are the symbol of hope and light. Your resistance has provoked their wrath, and now they seek to destroy everything you protect. Build by day, fight by night—defend your home with wit and blade! By day, you need to construct and upgrade 30 different buildings and units, allocate resources to develop your economy, and deploy soldiers to build an impenetrable defense line. The game offers 6 unique weapons, each with distinct skills and 30 upgradable talents. Defeating enemies in battle grants Rogue boons, allowing you to freely combine and create your own combat style. At night, 40 different types of monsters will emerge, launching frenzied attacks. On the final night, the map's ultimate boss will personally descend—prepare for an epic showdown! 9 distinct maps, each with rising difficulty, will test your tactics and decisions. Challenge higher difficulties and unlock more possibilities!
