An enthusiast going by the handle nydal91 has released Nine Sols Recomp, an unofficial Android port of the metroidvania by Red Candle Games, based on the Nintendo Switch version.
The mobile adaptation features widescreen display support, touch controls with on-screen buttons, and gamepad support. According to the developer, the game delivers a stable 60 FPS on a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 device. Running it requires a 64-bit Android device with Vulkan support, as well as files from a legally owned copy of Nine Sols for Nintendo Switch.
The original Nine Sols was released in May 2024 on PC, reaching PlayStation 4/5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch in November. The story begins with the defeat of Yi, one of the rulers of New Kunlun. He survives and awakens in a human village where his kin are worshipped as gods. Upon learning that they harvest humans for sacrifices, Yi rescues a young boy named Shuanshuan and challenges his nine former comrades.
In combat, the protagonist relies on swift strikes and parries, which has led many players to call Nine Sols a 2D version of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Meanwhile, for those who prefer a less punishing challenge, the game includes difficulty options.
