Valfaris: Mecha Therion Brings Heavy Metal Mayhem to Xbox

The explosive side-scrolling shoot ’em up Valfaris: Mecha Therion is set to make its grand entrance on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S on August 29th, 2024. Developed by Steel Mantis and published by Big Sugar, this high-octane sequel to the critically acclaimed Valfaris continues the saga of protagonist Therion as he embarks on a quest for revenge, armed with a colossal mech and an arsenal of devastating weapons.

A Sequel Steeped in Carnage

Valfaris: Mecha Therion builds on the legacy of its predecessor, which was hailed as one of the best PC games of 2019. This time around, the game shifts into overdrive with intense side-scrolling action, featuring a unique blend of heavy metal aesthetics and relentless combat. Players will once again step into the shoes of Therion as he battles his way through hordes of enemies, all while piloting a fearsome metal giant.

The game’s PC version, released late in 2023, has already garnered a 96% positive rating on Steam, a testament to its engaging gameplay and immersive world. Now, Xbox players can look forward to experiencing this thrilling continuation of Therion’s journey.

New Challenge Mode for Console Players

When Valfaris: Mecha Therion launches on Xbox later this month, it will come with a brand new arcade-style Challenge Mode. This mode is designed to push players’ skills to the limit with increasingly difficult levels and enemy waves, offering a fresh way to experience the game’s intense action. For those who have already ventured into the PC version, this Challenge Mode will be available as a free update on August 26.
