Red Candle Games is famous for its hit horror movies detention And ReverenceBoth are absolutely brilliant and well worth picking up. But the studio’s latest game is something completely different from the bunch, and although the game is currently exclusive to PC, a new rating suggests that it’s coming to Nintendo Switch.
Discovered by Gematsu, Nine Sol Rated for all consoles including Switch in Taiwan. The game is a combination of Hollow Knight And Sekiro: Darkness Dies Twicea powerful hybrid that combines beautiful 2D platforming and combat that focuses primarily on parrying and breaking enemy defenses.
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 beautiful Taopunk world, from the 9 Sols, who rule the land.
Reviews for the game, which launched on Steam in May, are positive. Reviews are consistently dropping even months after launch, and people say it’s a beautiful and brutal adventure. The launch day trailer at the top should give you a good idea of how gorgeous the game looks, at least.
We hope that the console release will be confirmed soon (remember that ratings do not always guarantee this!), as it seems like this game deserves a lot of attention.
