Imp of the Sun, Ori inspired 2D Platformer Gets Surprise Release on Console and PC Out Now

Sunwolf Entertainment has announced their new platformer Imp of the Sun is out now. It is a 2D, non-linear platformer that is meant to be played and then played again in order to reveal all of its surprises and secrets.

Imp of the Sun is set in a Peruvian-inspired world, from the bright peaks of the Andean mountains to the dense Amazonian jungles. You play as Nin, an Imp created from the final spark of the Sun, who is sent on an adventure to defeat the Four Keepers and restore the Sun’s power, ending the Eternal Eclipse before the world is plunged into darkness.

As a creature of the Sun, you have the power of its flame at your fingertips. Refine your skills in streamlined gameplay built for fluid movement and combo-based combat and discover new abilities to become more powerful as you venture across the Sun’s Empire to defeat the Four Keepers.

Our ancestors recorded their history through artefacts known as ‘Quipus’. Collect Quipus to unveil the story behind the Eternal Eclipse, and find unique hidden items based on real relics from the Andean cultures. Explore the Sun’s Empire and defeat unique, punishing bosses in any order you choose; each with their own complex mechanics and backstory.

Imp of the Sun explores all the capabilities of a 2D platformer and expands upon them by adding a number of unique features, including

• Streamlined gameplay built for fluid movement and combo-based combat.
• Unique Peruvian-influenced art style and soundtrack, inspired by real-world relics of the Andean culture.
• Experience five unique and punishing bosses in any order you choose each with their own complex mechanics and backstory.
• Keep powering up as players learn how to better control the Imp and its power and navigate the environments.
• Imp of the Sun is built to be played and then re-played, players may even find short cuts along the journey.
• Play Eclipse Mode for the authentic experience in a darkened kingdom, with all areas shrouded in total darkness until explored by the Imp.

Imp of the Sun is available now on Xbox, Playstation, Switch and PC. Check out the gameplay trailer below.
