Sunrider 4: The Captain's Return, the next installment of Love in Space’s mecha sci-fi saga, has been released and published by Sekai Project on Steam.

Sunrider 4: The Captain's Return is a sequel to Sunrider: Liberation Day. Love in Space's sci-fi saga continues with the captain of the Sunrider crew assuming helm to once again stand against the forces of the Crimson Fleet. In this installment, old and new allies await, just as much as new foes. The galaxy faces greater danger than ever before, with an ancient evil rising to take control of the system.

The sequel comes not just with a new story, but also a reimagined gameplay system. This time around, players will control squads of mecha piloted by the game’s heroines. Each mecha has a complex set of stats, describing the qualities of their different sides of their armor plating, weapons, movement, turning costs, and so on.

Said stats can be improved, while the pilots of each mech can unlock new abilities by progressing through their stories. Players then command squads in turn-based battles. The game provides extensive difficulty options to accommodate those looking for a mind-bending challenge, as well as casual readers wanting to experience the story of the Sunrider series.

Unlike Sunrider Academy, Sunrider 4: The Captain's Return is not an eroge, but instead an ecchi TRPG with mild scenes of partial nudity.
