Nine Sols Reviews
Nine Sols is one of the more beautifully crafted Souls-like releases for this year but it does come with its flaws that make it a little too unforgiving. It could be that the developers are possibly taking a shot at reimagining the genre with a new twist but that will more than likely throw off many fans of the genre when they discover the randomness in combat.
Nine Sols is a brutal action title that’s full of heart and a clear vision. Its refined combat system centered around parrying forces players to sharpen their reflexes and deflect their way to victory.
Nine Sols strikes true in everything it does, and stands out among its peers in almost every genre it touches.
A delightful 2D Metroidvania action game for parry and furry lovers, brought to you by a developer specializing in horror games.

Nine Sols feels like a love letter to Sekiro and the Metroidvania genre as a whole. Though slow at times, the game’s focus on storytelling pairs well with its great visuals, presenting a narrative experience paired with some challenging but fair gameplay.
Nine Sols stands out as a unique 2D experience that combines frantic fighting, varied exploration and an engaging narrative. Yi's journey of revenge not only provides challenging, diverse and precise combat, but also invites us to delve into a detailed taopunk world where technology and Asian mysticism intertwine in fascinating ways. In the end, Nine Sols not only challenges us with elaborate fights, but also rewards us with a richly constructed universe, in an experience that remains in the memory even after completion.
