Nine Sols is a hand-drawn 2D action-platformer set in a science fiction world influenced by Asian fantasy and Taoist imagery. The game follows a vengeful protagonist on a quest to defeat the nine Sols, the rulers of a ruined realm once inhabited by an ancient alien civilization. Gameplay focuses on exploration, story progression, and combat built around timed deflection mechanics.
Nine Sols feels at odds with itself, trying to tell a more traditionally constructed story while also trying to appease the “lore sickos” of the world.
A masterful metroidvania that builds on Sekiro-style combat and tells a great sci-fi story too. Unmissable.
Nine Sols raises the bar and sets a new standard for Indie games. It's engaging and full of emotion and tells a deep and meaningful story through its stunning art design, once again proving that big ideas are better than big budgets.
Whether you seek an addictive platformer, a substantial action experience with incredible presentation, or a new challenge, Nine Sols offers all this and more.
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.
