About the Game



Recently Updated - Full Metal Mode
Valfaris’s take on New Game +. Restart with your entire collected arsenal and upgrades to face off against more difficult enemies, battle buffed bosses encounters, and seek out the new Destroyer class weapon!



After mysteriously vanishing from galactic charts, the fortress of Valfaris has suddenly reappeared in the orbit of a dying sun. Once a self-contained paradise, the grandiose citadel now plays host to an ever-growing darkness.

Therion, a fearless and proud son of Valfaris, returns to his home to uncover the truth of its doomed fate and to challenge the arcane evil at its very heart.

Key Features
  • Skulls in space! Gore in space! Metal in space!
  • Savagely reduce foes to piles of gibs with an array of brutal weaponry
  • Explore a diverse range of tainted environments as you venture ever deeper into the dark world of Valfaris
  • Dominate ranks of deadly enemies and bosses, from the weird to the grotesque (and some that are just grotesquely weird)
  • Gorge your eyes on devastatingly awesome pixel art hand-crafted by Andrew Gilmour
  • Feel the power of a seismic soundtrack by extreme metaller and former Celtic Frost guitarist, Curt Victor Bryant
  • Forged from the ground-up by the team behind cult hit Slain: Back From Hell

There's so much blood that when an enemy explodes into a gory mess, the blood actually comes out of your computer screen and splatters you in the face. Soundtrack goes so hard that goth girls will be able to hear it

Grotesque platformer with lots of guns and shooting. Gameplay is similar to Contra - obliterate alien creatures and make your way through. Level design is interesting and introducing something new frequently. Alien

Hard for the sake of being hard. This would have been a much better game without the endless enemy respawns. Also the end of the Exterminator boss fight is very unfair, which is where I dropped the game after dying 3

Fantastic 2D action platformer game with metal music, good action, lots of melee and ranged weapons to upgrade. A lot of bosses, especially the final one took me several hours to beat - what an accomplishment after all!
