unlabelledView post →I can’t believe none of you told me Valfaris: Mecha Therion whips THIS much ass!! Head and shoulders above the first game and far more approachable. Currently on sale on Switch for $5!!
unlabelledView post →Heya folks, here's a 2nd, and final, set of screenshots featuring Slain: Back From Hell by Steel Mantis and Digerati. Interestingly, this game ended on a cliffhanger. I wonder if Valfaris is the sequel (I've never played it). #slainbackfromhell #videogames #indiegames #metroidvania #screenshots
unlabelledView post →Going LIVE 🔴 The LAST Son of Valfaris Returns - 2 Hoping to finish this today 😁 It's a pretty gnarly game. youtube.com/@kittsgame twitch.tv/kittsgame
unlabelledView post →Going LIVE 🔴 😁 Using Heavy METAL To Uncover The Truth of Valfaris This game gives me Brutal Legend meets Metroid vibes, but having never played it I can't be sure 🤭 let's find out together 😀 Stop by, say hi, and let's jam out 🤘 youtube.com/@kittsgame twitch.tv/kittsgame
unlabelledView post →THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO RAVI FOR SUGGESTING VALFARIS! NEXT UP IS PSEUDOREGALIA, A GAME I KNOW LITERALLY NOTHING ABOUT!
unlabelledView post →#23 completion for the year Valfaris A dope Gory sidescroller placed in the world of fkn space metal!! Music 10 Violence 10 Level design 10 Bosses 10 Headbangability 10 This game might be my favorite sidescroller of all time holy fuckin metal madness is it good!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
unlabelledView post →Stream Finished 😁 This was a pretty fun and charming game. The difficulty jumps between the different settings is kind of insane. Easy is genuinely too easy, but Moderate/Normal can just wreck me 🤣 Anyhooo, I'm playing Valfaris next, looks pretty hardcore 🤘
unlabelledView post →V: Valfaris Now here's an interesting one. Maybe not so much for the game itself, which is a tough platformer/shooter, but for the soundtrack. It is composed by former Celtic Frost guitarist Curt Victor Bryant. Celtic Frost was one of my favourite metal bands in the 80s.🤘
unlabelledView post →#SHMUPtember goes into Day nr.5 and we're continuing Valfaris: Mecha Therion! This game has been a blast so far, great music and some neat additions to the shmup formula, rarely do I see an auto scrolling shmup with secret areas for example. Let's see if we can beat it today! www.twitch.tv/e_bommel
unlabelledView post →Game #5 of 2025: Valfaris: Mecha Therion; the 2.5D shoot 'em up sequel to Valfaris. It looks/feels like a lost PS1 era arcade shooter that would have sat alongside G-Darius, R-Type Delta & Einhander. I finished the game on True Metal difficulty with everything collected. I loved it!
unlabelledView post →Valfaris: Mecha Therion It's not too often you see a sequel change game genres, but shifting to a sidescroller shoot-em-up was surprisingly natural. Another short and solid game that continues the story from where it left off. Bonus to the final boss here being more of a challenge. 8.5/10
unlabelledView post →Valfaris Sometimes you want a short game with a vision, and Valfaris lives up to that with moderately challenging combat and a very stylized art direction. The plot isn't crazy but it's serviceable, and frames your trek through a dying world well as you hunt for revenge and new gear. 8.5/10
unlabelledView post →Heya folks, here's a short featuring Valfaris by Steel Mantis and Big Sugar. This is another game that I picked up, it's also the sequel to Slain: Back From Hell, and is more of a run 'n' gun platformer than metroidvania. #valfaris #videogames #indiegames #platformer #gameplay

unlabelledView post →This one is more on the classic Castlevania side, but I really enjoy Slain Back From Hell. I think the developer's other game Valfaris is more on the metroidvania side, but I haven't played it. Monster Boy and Cursed Kingdom is a really good mv/platformer
unlabelledView post →God this is one of those weeks when there like 5 games coming out I'm interested in. We got Crypt Custodian, Valfaris 2, Shadow of the Ninja Reborn, the playstation release of Vampire Survivors and Akimbot at least Also the new Star Wars game might end up cool. Hope it is because chuds hate it
unlabelledView post →Valfaris: Mecha Therion - As a departure from the previous game's gameplay, they went the shoot 'em up route, and it was a blast with another head-banging soundtrack. I'm really curious if they'll stick with this universe or jump into an entirely new one with the next game.
unlabelledView post →96.) Valfaris This is the closest thing that exists to Heavy Metal in video game form. It’s a really fun run and gun game but I think it’s hindered a bit by how your character controls in relation to how enemies and bosses attack.

unlabelledView post →Finished Valfaris. What a bday present that victory was because that final boss...it kicked my ass. A tough but fair game, choc full of Metal Glory. The OST is goated if you like heavy metal, honestly what a banging game. Cheap too.
unlabelledView post →maybe they can redeem Slain 2 like they kinda redeemed Valfaris Valfaris is also kind of a bad game but Mecha Therion is alright
unlabelledView post →46) Valfaris: This feels like that particular brand of Contra-like action game you got for a while on consoles, but I can't put my finger on what era. Regardless, great soundtrack, difficult but with little punishment for death, and looks great as you play it. store.steampowered.com/app/600130/V...
unlabelledView post →are we friends? play Valfaris, it's the most metal game that will ever exist. 6.66/10, Will Melt Your Face Off store.steampowered.com/app/600130/V...

unlabelledView post →The Skysplitter in Valfaris is one of the most satisfying weapons I've ever used in a video game. Now that is how you design a railgun
unlabelledView post →A Voivod game? OK. I'm all for more metal bands having games. Valfaris was basically a Celtic Frost game
unlabelledView post →One of my few newest purchases. I don't get to game too much anymore. Recently picked up "Valfaris" For the PS4 as well. Both are like retro crack
unlabelledView post →She likes it. It pretty much looks like any other Lego game, but I'm not judging lol. I barely get to play anything (working 80+ hours a week). Trying to get back to Valfaris on the Ps4
unlabelledView post →It's looking like the final game I will have completed this year is Valfaris. Just before that I replayed FFXV cementing it as my 2nd favorite FF game. But back to Valfaris. What an incredibly good game. If you haven't played it and you like Contra style games or Iron Meat don't sleep on this!
unlabelledView post →Valfaris is the most metal game that will ever exist and I thank you for bringing it into existence 🤘
unlabelledView post →Really, these are the 4 "DEI Free" Games? Abathor is a Golden Axe clone the only Notable thing about Valfaris: Mecha Therion is it's soundtrack The Great Rebellion was made by a Neo Nazi group and the First Descendant is a Live Service game that is losing players
unlabelledView post →Just beat Valfaris, what a cool game
unlabelledView post →for tonight's stream, I'm going to be playing more of the Mobius machine and running through Valfaris Mecha Therion youtu.be/CawVekb_rk8
unlabelledView post →Finished Valfaris again. Not that anyone cares but it's sort of like a Contra game with a strong 'that's so metal' vibe. This completions vs. my first completion 4 years back. The time and secret stats are borked on the latter, I know I found some and it didn't take me that long.
unlabelledView post →Valfaris: Mecha Therion is another awesome addition to the series that takes the aesthetic and soundtrack of the earlier games and transplants them to a new genre. www.thesixthaxis.com/2023/11/22/v...
