Nine Sols

Nine Sols is a 2D action movie in oriental fantasy, where the hero goes against nine rulers. The fight is based on parrying: without it, the fight ends quickly. Abilities are unlocked along the way, and some passages require new skills. The world is connected by passages and elevators, and you can return to old places. Opponents are divided by type, and bosses require memorized movements and precise timing. The story is told in long scenes. Techniques are unlocked as you go, and some of them only work after a parry. The passages are divided into levels, and you can return to old places. Bosses require patience and precise timing. The story is told in long scenes, and part of the truth lies in the notes. The difficulty of battles is adjustable. In addition to bosses, there are large arenas with waves of opponents along the way. Leveling up gives you points for skills, and some of them change your fighting style. Transitions between areas are decorated with scenes and short videos. Difficulty is adjusted in the menu. Side branches provide access to rare improvements. Separately, I will say about the design: dark rooms give way to bright ones, and oriental motifs are visible in every detail. Leveling up allows you to assemble a hero to suit your style, and some skills only work in conjunction with others. Separately, I will say about the difficulty: the setting can be changed at any time, so there is no need to be stubborn. After the final, time trials open. Fights require attention to your opponent's signals, so haste is punished. Some skills are unlocked by defeating bosses. Between the regions there are traders and short breaks. The design is in dark colors with oriental motifs. For those who like challenging 2D combat, this game is perfect.
