Vengeance is mine

The game takes place in the fantasy world of New Kunlun, the Solarian people's last sanctuary.

It's not until a child unknowingly awakens a hero from the past named Yi. Thus, he begins his vengeful quest to defeat the Nine Sols.

You will be journeying across a dystopian Taopunk world by combining cyberpunk and Taoist Eastern mythology elements. Combat revolves around the use of magical talismans to slash and charge toward enemies. You can also take advantage of a deflection system that lets you perform carefully timed parries. Have your enemies fumble and set them up for countersthat deal massive amounts of damage while receiving none for yourself.

You will be meeting various side characters to interact with throughout your adventure. They will be able to help you gain upgrades and new abilities and even discover technology to use for the fight. In terms of graphics, the game features meticulous hand-drawn animations seamlessly blended with Japanese manga-inspired cutscenes. However, the soul-like action and deflection system may present a steep learning curve, potentially frustrating less experienced players.
