Valfaris

Therion returns to the fortress of Valfaris after it reappears in orbit around a dying sun, seeking to confront the darkness overtaking his former home. Move through 2D side-scrolling stages, jumping across hazards and battling enemies and bosses with firearms, melee weapons, and a shield that can block or parry. Melee attacks restore energy for more powerful weapons. Explore tainted environments for hidden areas and upgrade materials. Collected idols can activate checkpoints or be saved to increase maximum health; after finishing the campaign, Full Metal Mode restarts with collected weapons and upgrades against tougher enemies.

Return as Therion to a corrupted space fortress, fighting through side-scrolling levels with guns, blades, shields, and platforming.
