About Nine Sols

Nine Sols is a lore-rich, hand-drawn 2D action platformer built around Sekiro-inspired, deflection-focused combat. It carries you through a journey of Asian fantasy across a land once home to an ancient alien race, following a vengeful hero's quest to slay the nine Sols, the formidable rulers of this forsaken realm.

In New Kunlun, the Solarians' last sanctuary, centuries of quiet are broken when Yi, a long-forgotten hero, is awoken by a human child and sets out to defeat the nine rulers within the deserted city. The setting unfolds in a distinctive Taopunk style that fuses cyberpunk elements with Taoism and far eastern mythology, and as you pursue Yi's vengeance you unravel the mysteries of that ancient alien race and the fate of mankind.

Combat channels its Sekiro-lite roots as you slash, deflect, charge into enemies, and detonate them with Taoist talismans, with each fight blending fast, brutal action against classic platforming. Intriguing boss encounters punctuate the journey, testing everything you have learned. On PC this indie action-adventure rewards precise, reactive play while delivering a striking hand-drawn world and a story steeped in eastern philosophy.
