Action platform game set in a universe with elements of cyberpunk and Taoism. In Nine Sols we play as a hero named Yi, who travels through the colorful land and discovers its secrets, trying to take revenge on its divine rulers.
Nine Sols is an action platform game. It was developed by Red Candle Games, whose portfolio includes Devotion.
Nine Sols takes us on a journey to the original world, with elements of Taoism and Far East mythology combined with solutions characteristic for cyberpunk. The game takes place in New Kunlun - a kingdom protected by sacred rituals, whose inhabitants worship ancient deities. During the game we play as Yi - forgotten hero burning with desire of vengeance against divine rulers of this land. With time we learn more and more about New Kunlun, getting to know dark secrets of its builders.
In Nine Sols we observe the action from the side. Fights with enemies are the most important part of the game. Deg the combat system, the authors drew inspiration from the bestseller Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. During battles we have to show dexterity and reflexes to deflect enemy attacks and make quick counterattacks; besides, we have a magic talisman at our disposal, which allows us to get rid of enemies in a truly explosive style, as well as a bow allowing us to eliminate them from a safe distance. Apart from regular enemies, much more powerful bosses stand in our way, defeating them requires learning their movement patterns and discovering their weaknesses.
Exploration of New Kunlun also requires jumping on platforms and avoiding traps, as well as interacting with its inhabitants. It's worth talking to NPCs, because in this way we gain access to new skills and various upgrades that increase our combat potential.
Graphics of Nine Sols is in a colorful, manga style.

Game Ratings for Nine Sols Video Game.
Push Square: 9 / 10 by Issy van der Velde
Nine Sols will test you, but the atmosphere is stunning, the combat is thrilling, and the story is a fascinating mix of mysticism and sci-fi — so you'll meet the challenge happily. This is the best Metroidvania out there right now. Don't miss it.
NintendoWorldReport: 9 / 10 by Alex Orona
Nine Sols as a whole was such a delightful experience that it is quickly moving up my Game of the Year list as I take further reflection on my time with it. I, of course, would have preferred a waypoint system or some stronger writing with the handling of some character NPCs, but I'm finding myself largely still thinking about how much I enjoyed Nine Sols. Its overall score is firmly planted in my brain, but where it stands in the larger Metroidvania hall of fame is yet to be seen. I think I need to take some time to meditate on it.
Slant Magazine: 4 / 5 by Niv M. Sultan
This atmospheric Metroidvania is mechanically, emotionally, and philosophically electrifying.
