About Imp of the Sun

Imp of the Sun is a hand-drawn 2D fast-paced action platformer inspired by Peruvian culture, developed by Sunwolf Entertainment. Step into the shoes of Nin, an imp made as a final act of creation from the sun before the eternal eclipse. Now you must go on an adventure to defeat the four keepers and restore the Sun’s power, ending the Eternal Eclipse before the world is plunged into total darkness.

• Fight against five unique and punishing bosses in any order you choose, each with their complex mechanics and backstory.
• Keep powering up as you learn how to control the Imp and its power better. Refine your skills in streamlined gameplay built for fluid movement and combo-based combat.
• Collect artifacts known as “Quipus” to discover the history behind the eternal eclipse and find unique hidden items based on real relics from the Andean cultures.
• Explore the four corners of the empire from the bright peaks of the Andean mountains to the dense Amazonian jungles.
• Want more of a challenge? Play Eclipse Mode for the authentic experience in a darkened kingdom, with all areas shrouded in total darkness until explored by the players.

Imp of the Sun Reviews

Imp of the Sun isn’t a bad game at all, but with a few issues and so much choice when it comes to Metroidvanias, it’s tough to recommend.

God is a Geek

Imp Of The Sun stands alongside the likes of Smelter, MindSeize and Cobra Kai as a flawed game that nonetheless has an enormous amount to offer and is likely to be criminally ignored. If you’re after something off the beaten track, we urge you to consider the sixes and sevens of this world and give them a chance. We don’t think Imp Of The Sun will be anyone’s favourite game, but we do think that anyone who picks it up will remember it later on and go “oh yeah, Imp Of The Sun. That was a good time!”

Nintendo Life

While the graphics are terrific and the level design is highly creative, the gameplay leaves much to be desired. This game is entertaining and visually appealing but left a lot else on the table.
