April 2025

A great epic game that i reccomend with 100% confidence, with hot music and gameplay. Enjoyed progression system and it's difficulty, which can be overcome and doesn't make you angry because of it's fairness. if i knew about this game earlier - i guess i would choose it instead of Blasphemous (don't want to say the last game is worthless) but this one is closer to my spirit. 9/10 only because of simple story - but it's 100% fit.

Incredible variety for a game like this. The art is fantastic, killing stuff is fun. Just a solid game.

Nov. 2024

Valfaris is an excellent metroidvania that strikes an even line between the two games. Really enjoy the heavy metal soundtrack that offsets the science fiction setting and pairs closer to the body horror elements of the game. My only complaint is that this game is much easier to play with a controller than a keyboard and mouse, but that was likely a stylistic choice of the devs. I'd be interested to see what they produce in the future.

Nov. 2024

This is a VERY mixed bag. People say this game is hard, but I think they are conflating difficulty with annoying design. It's no harder than any other game of its type, really. It only gets hard during a few REALLY annoying level segments. None of the bosses are particularly unfair. The artstyle and presentation is fine, but the animation is a little stiff. It looks like they may have converted 3D models into pixel art instead of drawing it by hand. I liked it overall. The final boss was a fun challenge to overcome. The weapons are varied and interesting. Good music, too.

Sept. 2024

Very much style over substance. That's if you're into the style. Plays like you're standard run and gun shooter with some good upgrade features and pretty solid controls. Art style is a bit of a mess as it's no doubt meant to be intentionally ugly with the 'hellish' atmosphere. The games strength really lay in leaning towards its music and animations which does make it stand out just a tad. Overall, it's just a beefy action platformer that delivers the amount of fun you would expect. So if you're looking for a more gothic/metal tone for the genre, it's worth the price, especially while on sale.
