Red Candle Games is best known for the cult horror hits Detention and Piety, both are absolutely excellent and worth picking up. But the studio’s latest game is something completely different from the team’s game, and while the game is currently exclusive to PC, a new rating suggests it will be coming to the Nintendo Switch.
Spotted Gematsu, Nine Sols is rated for all consoles including Switch in Taiwan. The game is a combination of Hollow Knight and Axe: Shadows Die Twicea powerful combination that combines beautiful 2D platforming and combat that focuses heavily on parrying and breaking enemy guards.
You play as Yi, a forgotten hero who is awakened from his sleep by a human child. He must save the kingdom of New Kunlun, a stunning Taopunk world, from the 9 Sols, the rulers of the land.
The reviews for the game, which launched on Steam back in May, have been glowing. Opinions are falling even months after launch, and word is that this is a brutal, beautiful adventure. The launch date trailer at the top should give you a good idea of how stunning the game looks, to say the least.
Hopefully a console release will be confirmed soon (ratings don’t always guarantee that, remember!), because it sounds like this game deserves a lot of attention.
