About

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.

Storyline

In New Kunlun, hero Yi has awakened the 9 rulers of this forsaken realm. To defeat the 9 Sols in the deserted city.

“Becomes one with the way of Tao…”

New Kunlun, the Solarian’s last sanctuary, has remained quiet for centuries. Inside this vast realm, the ancient gods left mortals with a promised land that is forever protected by the sacred rituals, yet the truth of this world remains unknown to most. Everything changes when Yi, a long forgotten hero from the past, is awoken by a human child.

Follow Yi on his vengeful quest against the 9 Sols, formidable rulers of this forsaken realm, and obliterate any obstacles blocking your way in Sekiro-lite style combat. Explore in unique “Taopunk” setting that blends cyberpunk elements with Taoism and far eastern mythology. Unravel the mysteries of an ancient alien race and learn about the fate of mankind.
