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.
