Authors Devotion and Detention unveil their new game -apkrig
Developers from the Red Candle Games studio in Taiwan, who have signed up to the Detention and Devotion adventures in the past, present their next title. This is a side-by-side 2D action platformer Nine Sols, which the authors themselves liken in connection with the duel to the game Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice by FromSoftware. The main task of the cat hero named Yi will be to explore the ravaged land of Kunlun, reveal its nine solar rulers and then defeat them in direct combat. The developers in a short tweet, supplemented by the first artwork, do not bring any more details, but they talk about revenge and a place that could have been the home of an ancient alien race. That it is not just an Asian fantasy is indicated by a strange machine at the feet of the main protagonist, which could gradually lead to similarly interesting revelations, as was the case, for example, at Horizon Zero Dawn by Guerrilla.
