About the Game



Therion returns as the hunt for Lord Vroll continues. Pilot an advanced machine of death and destruction in this explosive 2.5D side-scrolling shoot ‘em up, and sequel to the critically acclaimed Valfaris. Strap in and unleash mecha hell!



After escaping Valfaris, Therion’s hunt for the evil Lord Vroll has taken him across the galaxy. As the final, inevitable showdown looms, Therion harnesses the awesome combat ability of his secret weapon – Mecha Therion!



A formidable suit of weaponised metal, Mecha Therion can be equipped with an array of devastating firepower, including Therion’s trademark Hellwraith – a minigun that shoots tormented souls.

At the time of writing this I have 15 hours played. I've finished all of this developer's previous games and in my opinion each game is an improvement from the last. I love this game and I thought I wouldn't since I

Not really a good shmup. The first Valfaris was a fantastic game, not entirely sure why the devs shifted so hard, but hopefully they never do this again.

The change in genre was definitely the right call here; because this game ROCKS. Shmups are one of my favorite genres of gaming when I just want to sit down and blast stuff that's in my way, and this game excels at that

I am 4 or 5 stages in and this game is crazy. Its like Dethklok the run and gun in the air. I say that because its not typical shmup play. Checkpoints, upgrades, forward and backward movement, bosses everywhere. Really

I prefer the first game, but this is still great. The boss mechanics were a little less inspired than the first game, feeling a bit flat and sometimes repeating between them. The perspective changes throughout the game

One of the few games that motivated me to to NG+ (and twice at that). I'm not good enough for the challenges but I still had a blast with the normal game even on the highest difficulty. The Metal never dies!
