Our take on Mr. Sun's Hatbox
Rather than centering on one fixed hero and a linear platforming route, the game makes the crew itself part of the structure. Captured enemies can join the organization, characters have useful or troublesome quirks, and hats alter how missions are approached.
What is Mr. Sun's Hatbox?
Mr.
Sun’s Hatbox combines platforming, roguelite missions, and slapstick heists. Starting as a one-person delivery squad, players expand a base, recruit captured enemies, and prepare a team for increasingly dangerous operations. Missions range from wave-based combat to espionage and Hat Heists, with crowns unlocking crew perks between phases. More than 50 hats provide different properties, while weapons support both covert and chaotic approaches. Characters have individual traits that affect their suitability for assignments. The base includes rooms such as a Brig, Lab, and Black Market. Missions support solo play, couch co-op, and Steam Remote Play Together. Separate 1v1 and Last Hat Standing modes add local competitive play.
