Today marks an exciting moment for gaming enthusiasts, particularly those with an Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, or PC. Subscribers will be thrilled to hear that Nine Sols, a captivating 2D action-platformer, is now available on Xbox Game Pass. This addition, accessible to both Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers, means Nine Sols steps off our anticipated Game Pass games list and right into your home.
Red Candle Games, the creative team behind this venture, has masterfully woven together elements of Eastern mythology, philosophical musings, and cyberpunk aesthetics, crafting a unique “Taopunk” realm to explore. As players assume the role of Yi, they will journey through the desolate New Kunlun, engaging with 2D platforming challenges to confront the formidable Sols, the region’s nine rulers. Expect an action-rich experience, enhanced by abilities to deflect, charge, and attack, reminiscent of the combat dynamics found in titles like Sekiro and Hollow Knight.
The developers proudly describe Nine Sols as a fusion of deep Eastern philosophy, vibrant mythology, and the edgy undertones of cyberpunk. Combat is a notable feature, focusing heavily on deflection—perfect for gamers who relish mastering parrying techniques.
For those who’ve been navigating the tough terrain of Stalker 2—a game we thoroughly enjoyed—Nine Sols offers a refreshing departure. Its rapid-action gameplay is complemented by a visually stunning art style, presenting a stark contrast to the gritty backdrop of The Zone.
