Waco, Texas (KWTX) –
Ah, spring has come. The elusive “spring flowers” that grow in both rain and sunshine bloom. So, unless there's something I don't know about that's blocking out the sun, we'll have a nice steady series of releases… oh my god! This month is full of really great titles. Fortunately, I am not overwhelmed by this eclipse. I'm Andrew Hamilton. Find out all the great games released this month in his April issue of Download.

Children of the Sun:
Speaking of the sun, “Children of the Sun” will be appearing this month. A girl whose life was destroyed by a cult and its leader seeks revenge in this unique Puzzle Shoot Him game in all caps. Burning with magical power, you have to use a single sniper bullet to defeat all enemies in each level. Once the bullet leaves the gun, you have complete control over its movement. Think of it like a witch version of the movie Wanted. Plan your revenge carefully and defeat the leader when Children of the Sun comes to his PC on April 9th.

Kenzra's story:
Our games also feature a lot of unique styles of art, perhaps best represented by Tales of Kenzura: Zau. A moving story based on Assassin's Creed: His Origins actor Abubakar Salim's own experiences of grief and healing. Discover the dance of the sun and moon as you journey through Zau's own emotional journey as he uses the great power of the Two Masks to return his father to the land of the living. Inspired by Bantu lore and folklore, this game's world is truly something else. Join his dance of life and death as Tales of Kenzura: Zau releases on April 23rd for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X, Switch, and PC.

Sandland:
Following Akira Toriyama's death last month, you might think there will never be a masterpiece from this legendary mind. But that's wrong. Sandland is pure and true Toriyama's world, and one of Toriyama's most unique stories. In Sandland, a world of rough, coarse sand that literally falls everywhere, humans and demons coexist and live in pain amidst a lack of water. Play as the demon prince Beelzebub and his trusty friend Sheriff Rao as they set out to find the mythical legend Sorin hidden in the desert dunes. Build vehicles that will help you counter your enemies and traverse difficult lands to legally build thriving cities. Embark on Toriyama's masterpiece manga game when Sand Land releases on his April 26th for PS4/PS5, Xbox Series S/X, and PC.

Stella Blade:
In the distant future, humans balance on razor blades. Earth has been occupied by strange and powerful creatures. The remnants of the divided and extinct human race will form a colony in deep space. Now, the cybernetically enhanced warrior EVE returns to reclaim Earth and drive these creatures back. Lightning-fast combat, thrilling boss fights, and a gorgeous yet destroyed world to explore make Stellar Blade one of his most anticipated games this month. Stellar Blade, which I recently played a demo of, is a solid mashup of Sekiro, Lies of P, and Nier Automata, with an emotional narrative from developer Shift Up. Unleash Elegant Brutality when it releases on the 26th exclusively for PlayStation 5.
