Description



Burning with anger, THE GIRL wages a one-woman war against THE CULT, taking them down cultist by cultist, bullet by bullet, until she reaches her true target: THE LEADER. Along the way she will unravel the dark truth about this mysterious order and the atrocities committed by them in the name of their master.

In this tactical third-person puzzle-shooter you assume control of one bullet, guiding it through increasingly complex and challenging levels to kill cultists, trigger traps, and reshape the environment. Every shot counts and ruthless precision is rewarded. Taking down THE CULT is deeply satisfying; doing it with style even more so.

PLAN YOUR APPROACH

Tactical sniping, puzzle solving, and light stealth collide in Children of the Sun to create a third-person shooter like no other. You only have a single bullet to complete each level, but you can re-aim on impact, curve around obstacles, accelerate to break through armor, and more to really make that one crucial shot count.

RITUAL MURDER

Lose yourself in a dark, twisted tale of revenge as you hunt down the nefarious CULT. Children of the Sun accompanies its unique one-bullet action with an evocative, mystery-filled storyline that unravels as you exact your revenge on the people who made your life hell and relentlessly pursue the enigmatic LEADER.

KILL, KILL, AND KILL AGAIN

Children of the Sun is lethally replayable by design. There are multiple solutions to each level, encouraging creativity and experimentation, with a satisfying scoring system that rewards accuracy and efficiency. Then, you can check the online leaderboards to see how you stack up against your friends and the rest of the world.

I don't give out reviews often. I also don't care about achievements in games or perfecting them. But I have made an exception on both parts for this game. It is amazing in all regards. I only wish there was more.

Children of the Sun is essentially a puzzle game about killing your way through a cult with one bullet. Each time you hit a target, time stops and you get to reaim and shoot at another one. The levels start out easy

Very cool game. The art style is super unique and crazy in the best way. Super simple gameplay but the puzzles get pretty complex. Quick playthrough, but well worth the price tag

Wow, like wow. I have always been a puzzle game fan, but this blew me out of the water. The grungey sleazy aesthetic elevates it incredibly high. It's hard to come across a puzzle game that can simutaineously give both

A distillation of the "exploitation revenge" genre in its purest form. Great visuals, great puzzly gameplay with lots of room for experiments; a good game to come back to when the mood strikes. Devolver Digital never
