What is Children of the Sun?

In Children of the Sun, you play “the girl,” a fierce, skillful woman with one goal in mind — put an end to the Cult. To do so, you utilize her go-to weapon: A sniper. With this sniper, you’ll singlehandedly take down the Cult members until you can reach the Leader.

Although this is set up like a third-person shooter, with the main focus being on sniping all the enemies, it is not your usual shooter game experience. Instead, you’ll have to hone in on strategy, as the game forces you to use only one bullet to remove all the enemies in the area. That one bullet ricochets and pierces through various targets to complete the level, but it’s all down to your accuracy and precision. The levels get more challenging the closer you get to the Leader of the Cult.

When Does Children of the Sun Release?

Children of the Sun releases on Steam on April 9, 2024. Sadly, it is only available on PC, with no news (so far) on a release for any other platforms.
