Face off against ancient deities and monstrous creatures in challenging, skill-based encounters. Each boss battle pushes your combat abilities to the limit, with unique enemies demanding precision and mastery of your entire arsenal.

• HAND-DRAWN ART AND ANIMATIONS
Immerse yourself in a visually stunning world brought to life through meticulously crafted, hand-drawn environments and fluid animations. With a distinctive art style inspired by anime and manga, Nine Sols creates a world that feels both familiar and otherworldly.

Nintendo Life said:

Combat and progression are the best parts of Nine Sols, and they manage to rub away the blemishes occasionally found in the game's map design and exploration. It's a really great blend of systems from other games with a fantastic revenge narrative. While aspects of the world design and 'Taopunk' style feel mismatched, there is always another enemy around the corner to fight, reminding you just how good the core gameplay is.

8/10
