Valfaris: Mecha Therion 'Challenge Mode' update now available on Steam!
All hail!
A free update for Valfaris: Mecha Therion is now available on Steam. The update adds a brand new arcade-style Challenge Mode to the side-scrolling shoot 'em up. These are some of the main differences between Challenge Mode and the default Original Mode:
The player is equipped with lives instead of a health bar
Weapons are upgraded on-the-fly by collecting pick-ups
Earn a score by defeating enemies and destroying anything that's destructible
Weapons can be downgraded if you're hit by an enemy
Gain extra lives at score milestones and by collecting Blood of Valfaris
Checkpoints can be destroyed as a way to earn Blood of Valfaris
More details about Challenge Mode can be found on the Valfaris: Mecha Therion Steam page
To celebrate the arrival of Challenge Mode, Valfaris: Mecha Therion is available on Steam with a 50% discount. The offer ends next Monday, 2nd September.
Challenge Mode will also be available in the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox versions, which are all scheduled to launch this Thursday, 29th August!
Developed by Steel Mantis and published by Big Sugar, Valfaris: Mecha Therion is a sequel to the critically-acclaimed action-platformer Valfaris (ranked #16 Best PC Game of 2019 by Metacritic). It launched for PC late 2023 and currently has a 95% positive user rating on Steam.
