Nine Sols is truly the revolutionary Metroidvania we were waiting for. Even though it doesn't do anything groundbreakingly new, it is a truly masterful creation. From its elaborate taopunk world, gorgeous art and design, challenging Sekiro-like combat, and remarkable enemy diversity and originality, it is a game that any fan of the genre must experience.
A delightful 2D Metroidvania action game for parry and furry lovers, brought to you by a developer specializing in horror games.

J'ai adoré. De loin le meilleur jeu auquel j'ai joué cette année.
L'histoire est très bien scénarisé et passionnante.
Les combats sont excellents.
Un game design très bon et une DA superbe.

Nine Sols is a masterfully crafted 2D Sekiro-like Metroidvania that explores a lore-rich Taoism fantasy setting through science fiction elements.
Nine Sols offers a polished action experience at its best, but at times clouded by overly long and tedious fights. Combat that feels like an endurance test, but with mechanics so precise that it's a joy to get smacked by the bosses over and over again.
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 is a notable step for the Taipei-based studio, but too high a bar for a small game company to set.
Idon'twant to spoil much, but pleaseplay this game. It has incredibly smooth and nice combat mechanics,I loved exploring the world. And the setting, theming and overall storyIfoundto be incredible
And don't get me started on the art style!

2d dark souls daha doğrusu sekiro tarzı oyun severler için harika oyun. Ben bu tarzı 2d halde çok sevmediğim, bir yerden bir yere gitmek ve keşif zor geldiği için yarım bırakıyorum oyunu. Ama seveni için güzel mekanikler var.

the gameplay is great. that is on half of what i need, the other half is story. they really went all out to name a bunch of crap that i dont even know what it is. we need documentary youtube vids just to understand what the heck is going on and instead of simply +1 strength you gotta unlock the jade system and hacking bug and its all so convoluted the story gets lost VERY fast and it becomes a mindless action platformer for the most part and all the motivation is lost, affecting the motivation to play the actually good gameplay.

Игра могла быть хороша, но геймдизайнер презирает игроков и их время. Ещё в 2023 году, когда игра была в раннем доступе, игроки жаловались на катсцены и долгие, ничем не обоснованные, пути от "костра" до босса. Спустя год, ничего не поменялось. Один только этот "плевок в лицо" портит впечатление от игры и раздражает.
До кучи, очевидно кривые хитбоксы некоторых атак боссов, в т.ч. хитбоксы урона за спиной у противника, приправим введением механики под конец игры, когда у тебя уже выработана мышечная память на реагирование в определённых в ситуациях, часть из которых противоречат механикам протекавшим на протяжении всей игры + приправим это финальным, абсолютно безыдейным боссом, которого делал человек очевидно не игравший в свою игру - на выходе получим потенциально хорошую игру, вызывающую фрустрацию отсутствием каких-то базовых QoL штук и не честными решениями, идущими в разрез с основными механиками игры.

It breaks my heart to realize, that Nine Sols is totally average in all aspects except for the artstyle (which is top notch!) ... :(
The music is very inconsistent and many areas have none at all.
The map is confusing as hell, and the level design feels too arbitrary or same-y.
Discovery of new areas / bosses / treasures never feels as satisfying as the genre's highlights.
At least not a single crash or bug was encountered, so it is polished in this aspect.
But the core game design (skill tree, collectibles, size of each area) and story (even though it starts interesting) feel kinda bloated and miss some focus.
Edit: There are many 10/10 reviews here with completely new accounts and only one review done so far. Very sus...
