This is a unique experience. If you know anything about Aquanaut's Holiday, then you know the fun of exploring a vast, largely barren world to occasionally encounter an intentionally placed, strange object with no concrete 'game value.' Tail of the Sun takes that concept and folds in combat, where you are forced to gauge "am I able to win this fight?...

Overview
Tail of the Sun, known in Japan as Taiyo no Shippo: Wild, Pure, Simple Life, is an action role-playing video game developed by Artdink for the PlayStation. It was created by Kazutoshi Iida, who worked on Aquanaut's Holiday and would later work with Nintendo on Doshin the Giant. The player's ultimate objective is to build a tower of mammoth tusks that reaches the sun. To this end, a large map full of various creatures and oddities must be traversed in an effort to locate and gather sufficient food for the tribe to thrive and multiply.

Never expected to see this one get re-released all these years later. One of the most bizarre and unique PS1 games of it's time. It's relaxing and stressful somehow, with a great soundtrack and the freedom to go about things however you want.
Would really like to see No One Can Stop Mr. Domino on Steam as well one day.
It's a great re-release of a game I've wanted to play for years. It's obtuse and frustrating and I love it
An awesome and unforgettable game my brother and I always come back to play. The primal world and survival gameplay make Tail of the Sun a truly unique experience that still stands out today.
