Nine Sols
Nine Sols is a lore rich, hand-drawn 2D action-platformer featuring Sekiro-inspired deflection focused combat. Embark on a journey of eastern fantasy, explore the land once home to an ancient alien race, and follow a vengeful hero’s quest to slay the 9 Sols, formidable rulers of this forsaken realm.
Why on Deck
The hand-drawn art pops on the Deck’s screen in a way that’s genuinely hard to describe: it looks like a playable graphic novel. And honestly? The Sekiro-style parry system clicks faster on analog sticks than you’d think. It took me maybe an hour to stop mashing and start reading enemy tells. Sessions break naturally between boss arenas and new areas, so you’re rarely in the middle of something intense when you need to put it down. This is a game you want close to your face, not across the room on a TV.
