About Sun Halo
Sun Halo is an indie PC game from developer Renka, released on November 20, 2025. It merges real-time combat with roguelike progression and deck-building. Players recruit characters, craft custom decks, and adjust strategies during battles while uncovering a story that progresses through its final chapter. The game emphasizes adaptability, with each run shaped by deck choices and character development. Its focus on tactical depth and replayability makes it stand out in the indie strategy space.
Gameplay
Each session starts with selecting a deck from your roster, combining character abilities and strategic effects. Battles unfold in real-time, requiring quick decisions as enemies swarm. You swap between characters mid-fight, using deck cards to unleash skills or modify tactics. The roguelike structure means progress resets after death but retains earned upgrades. Matches last 5, 10 minutes, with longer sessions focused on building synergy between characters. Controls are responsive, but mastering timing and deck efficiency takes practice.
What Players Think
Sun Halo holds an 88% community rating and 4.2/5 average score. Players spend 22 hours on average, with 75% completing the main story. 88% of reviews are positive, highlighting "addictive" progression and "clever synergies." However, 12% call it "frustrating at times" due to a steep learning curve. The game has 120 achievements, 78% of which players typically unlock. Community moods lean toward "strategic" and "competitive," with some "irritated" by RNG elements in combat.
PlayPile's Take
Sun Halo is a strong pick for fans of tactical depth and roguelike mechanics. Its 120 achievements and 22-hour average playtime justify the $39.99 price tag for most. While not every player will love the grind, the satisfaction of mastering deck synergies makes it rewarding. Skip if you dislike high difficulty spikes or repetitive combat loops. Best played in short bursts, ideally with a mindset for iterative improvement.
