Children of the Sun Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Children of the Sun shoots you in the face with a style that is undeniable and makes this story of anger, violence, and revenge more beautiful than you could possibly imagine.
If a dark revenge fantasy tale of destroying an evil cult sounds like your kind of thing, then Children of the Sun is everything you could want.
Accompanied by a dark atmosphere with an industrial soundtrack, Children of the Sun is an excellent indie title that doesn’t pull its punches
Children of the Sun is hellbent on occupying your mind. During the six hours it took me to hit credits, I was engrossed in mastering its simple, yet wonderfully executed central mechanic. At first, taking down dozens of cultists with just one bullet was a fun gimmick to tinker with. As time passed, I became obsessed with pushing the tools at my disposal to their limits, repeatedly using people as target practice until I had concocted a satisfactory murder plan.
Children of the Sun is a revenge story that has you in the driver’s seat of a sniper assassin, hell-bent on taking down each and every individual member of the cult that did you wrong. Using a supernatural bullet that can change trajectory or speed at a moment’s whim, you must work through a gauntlet of levels, in each given instance taking down all targets in an environment with One. Single. Bullet.
Children of the Sun is a unique FPS puzzle game that takes a dark approach to a fun logic puzzle of trajectories. While the formula does iterate as the game progresses it still left us wanting for more by the time credits rolled.
One of the most anticipated games from this year’s opening Steam Next Fest, Children of the Sun, solo developed by René Rother, is quite possibly the most
Gory and exacting, Children of the Sun mixes the highs of tactical precision and cracking a killer puzzle.
Children of the Sun's gritty and surreal world is home to an innovative puzzle game that mixes long-range sniping with macabre brain teasers, culminating in your enemy's brains painting the walls.
“Children of the Sun stumbles on story, but its unnerving hyper violence hits its mark.”
Children of The Sun has been out for a few weeks now and Kate Robinson had the chance to not only play the game pre-release for a review but she also tracked down the game’s creator, Rene Rother, at WASD 2024 to get a great insight into Devolver’s latest.
