Build a Mother Base and retrieve a lost delivery this month
Have you ever been waiting for a delivery, only to have it never arrive? Ever wondered where it went? How does the courier even begin to track a lost item?Mr. Sun’s Hatboxanswers all of those questions (very seriously) in a genre-blending comedy. When I say genre-blending, I mean this is a platforming roguelike with extensive base-building, shooting, whacking, stealthing, and a heavy dose ofMetal Gear Solid 5. Seriously. It launches on April 20th.

Your mission is to deliver Mr. Sun’s hatbox parcel. Simple. But when a gang steals that hatbox, the company’s Delivery Guarantee Team Insurance Policy means you’re obligated to build a giant HQ underneath Mr. Sun’s shop, recruit a partially voluntary army, and jump-and-gun to retrieve the parcel. That’s what happens when your deliveries go missing.
Happily, you can kidnap - I mean recruit new playable characters this way too. Each character has their unique quirks. The one highlighted in the trailer is a melee expert, for example, but he’s also a lifelong thief, meaning he’ll pocket any gold you find for himself. Mix in different weapons and hats with their own properties, and you can see the character-building options take shape, or web out wildly. You can play the game in co-op, and there’ll be PvP modes available, in case you want to share the fun.
Mr. Sun’s Hatbox comes from solo dev Kenny Sun and it’s launching on April 20th on PC viaSteamand Nintendo Switch. The free demo is still available and was one ofRPS' highlightsfrom this year’s Steam Next Fest.
