Nine Sols Gameplay
The game will be set in the 2D and the main character here is Yi who needs to take down the nine Sols and get his revenge. The game focuses on close combat that has been blended with side-scrolling platforming and deflection mechanics. The main attacks feature a move where a sword is used but the players can also deflect the attacks. As the player deflects attacks from the enemies, Yi can also absorb and collect some Chi energy alongside unleashing a lot of other attacks by a process called reverse deflect. Yi can additionally stick talismans known as Foo charms to blow up during activation but deflecting also needs accurate reflexes and timing so that the Chi gets full. When the energy bat is more, there is a chance of more damage during the attacks. Yi has a lot of abilities like running, double jumping, and a lot more.
