Here comes the sun or Children of the Sun as its date to release in April

Devolver Digital and developer René Rother have announced that the stylish shooter Children of the Sun is taking aim and will release on April 9 and in celebration of the news a new trailer has been revealed.

Below is the description of the game, but it boils down to you are seeking revenge for the death of your family, so you kill everyone.

In the game you play as THE GIRL, who grew up brainwashed by THE CULT, but is now free from their control and waging a one-woman war of vengeance against them and their enigmatic messiah, THE LEADER.

Children of the Sun is a psychedelic road trip of revenge featuring a blend of sniping and puzzle solving, but with a killer twist at the core of its unique gameplay: you can only fire one bullet per level.

However, thanks to THE GIRL’s physics-defying telekinetic powers, this bullet can be re-aimed, curved around obstacles, and more.

The game’s combination of tactical sniping, puzzle solving, and light stealth makes it unlike any other shooter you’ll have experienced before—and a scoring and leaderboard system make it lethally replayable.

There is a demo out now on Steam, which I got to play before it was released and honestly, it is quite fun. Think of the sniper shots from the Sniper Elite series, but with a dash of Superhot mixed in for good measure and you have an idea on what is happening.

The full game will be made available on April 9, so there is only a few weeks to go.
