Inspired by Peruvian culture, the game stars Nin, an Imp who has the unenviable task of defeating the Four Keepers and restoring the Sun’s power, and thus ending the Eternal Eclipse before the world is plunged into darkness.
Imp of the Sun will feature several of the hallmarks of a Metroidvania, with multiple areas to explore, skills and abilities to be learned, and of course, collectables to be found. There is even an interesting Eclipse Mode, where the whole world is shrouded in darkness that can offer even more of a challenge.
If you are interested in the game, here’s the official description of Imp of the Sun:
