Nine Sols

Step into the hand-drawn, lore-rich world of Nine Sols, a 2D action-platformer that masterfully fuses intense deflection-focused combat with a compelling “taopunk” aesthetic. Set in the futuristic Eastern-myth inspired realm of New¿Kunlun, you control Yi — a vengeful hero awakened to slay the Nine Sols, the ancient alien rulers who have long held dominion over this forsaken land. With gameplay inspired by the parry-heavy dynamics of Sekiro, you’ll slash and deflect your way through brutal encounters, charge your Taoist talismans and unleash ranged attacks with Yi’s godly bow. Along the way, explore interconnected zones, meet fascinating NPCs, uncover hidden secrets and piece together the story of a forgotten civilisation. Visually, the game is a standout: beautifully crafted hand-drawn environments, manga-inspired cut-scenes and anime-style animation bring this strange fusion of Taoist mysticism and cyberpunk tech to life. Whether you’re battling monstrous gods, unravelling ancient mysteries, or mastering the rhythm of deflect-and-strike combat, Nine¿Sols offers a deeply immersive, challenging and unforgettable experience that redefines the genre.
