Valfaris

One of the best action platformers I've ever played. Well crafted in all aspects and a perfect length. The overall difficulty ramps gradually, so you shouldn't get too frustrated. The boss design is great with fun mechanics.

Robust contemporary take on Contra. Run, jump, bounce, climb, shoot and CHOP. Good selection of weaponry and a decent system of upgrades. Those keen to experience the best and worst of Valfaris will find they have the tools necessary to the do the job as well as room and reason to keep improving their arsenal and skills in 'Full Metal' New Game + Enjoy - Vibrant visual and audio design, bloody carnage and punishing combat. Suffer - Punishing combat ;P

Sometimes it feels unfair, the enemies have to hit you because yes, it is a lot of trial and error, still it is a game that I recommend, if you have patience.

Not a fan of the control scheme, thye lack of free aiming, I guess they were thrying to nail the run and gun styyle, but the character is too slow for that, at least it doesn't disappoint in the presenattion department.

Heavy metal neon sci-fi body horror run'n'gun done near perfection for my tastes. Varied and well paced level design with very well balanced challenge, a huge variety of just tough enough bosses, a giant pile of three different weapons and a shield all integrated elegantly together with a recharging energy system, absolutely gorgeous graphics and a banging but not overbearing heavy metal soundtrack all come together to make a beautifully cut and highly polished gem. Had some trouble getting it running at first, it didn't run on my low end Win10 machine that more than doubles the listed requirements and performed similarly on my high end Linux machine for my first few installs. It worked clean in the end but not through my preferred launcher so no acheivements for me. Great game, lives up to the image it presents without going too far over the top, easy recommendation.
