This Year's Wildest Shooter is Now Discounted
The trippiest shooter of the year is now on sale! If you love intense and unique games, you need to check out "Children of the Sun." This game follows The Girl, a survivor of The Cult's abuses, as she takes her revenge on them and The Leader. The game is designed to let players substitute any real name and person into its simplistic analog for institutional violence.
Gameplay Mechanics
"Children of the Sun" arms The Girl with a rifle and the power to direct her bullets with her mind. From the moment you start playing, it's hunting season. She picks apart the Cult one headshot, explosive barrel, and flame-touched bullet at a time.
The game has a single real mechanic: sniping. As The Girl enters each level, often painted in harsh but luminescent purples and reds, she moves at the whim of your mouse. You tactically position her, find the right perch, and aim down her scope to take out the Cult's grunts.
Unique Features
- Telekinetic abilities to speed up bullets and bend their trajectory
- Optional challenges encouraging the use of ravens and marine life
- Levels that become intimidating and psychedelic murder puzzles
Every mission grants The Girl one bullet to take out several targets. You can scout their positions ahead of time and mark them. The game becomes more of a puzzle than a straightforward shooter, rewarding precision and quick execution.
Visuals and Atmosphere
"Children of the Sun" is a mood. It uses dark hues to paint an utterly gnarly picture. The game is raw and unabashed in its condemnation of abuse and The Girl's subsequent punishment of the wicked.
The missions start simple but become more complex and challenging. Some of the most ambitious levels include a car chase and an imposing apartment block. When it all comes together, the game is unparalleled in its blistering and cathartic violence.
Why You Should Play
For just about $10 on Steam and $12 on Humble, "Children of the Sun" offers one of the boldest titles of the year. It's slightly longer than it needs to be and may prove uncomfortable in tone and style for some, but it's a game you should be tripping over yourself to get to.
