Reviews
This game needs a "meh" rating, but it's not bad, so it gets a thumbs up. [list] [*]It's a good shmup but has some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sections and got-yous that set you back a lot and is pretty annoying. [*]The game looks nice, but, a lot of the time, the artsy-fartsy perspective during maneuvering sections and boss fights are unnecessary and frustrating - you can't tell worth a ♥♥♥♥ what is where. [*]The combat and load outs are alright but nothing special. [*]Equipment being locked behind secret areas and not being able to replay levels is a pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥ choice on the game design. [*]The story is tired - eternally seeking revenge on an evil family member. I don't even like nor care about stories, buuuuttt.. BOOOORRRRIIINNNGGGG [*]The music is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awful, especially for a game that's main advertisement is how super-totally-metal it is. I muted most of the game, and I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ love heavy metal. This ♥♥♥♥ was crap. Overall, the above points are really just annoyances. 3/10 - Solid, though annoying, but worth a play if you like shmups.
Probably the most metal 4 hours of my life.... In all seriousness, this shmup is one for the books, once you beat the main game (which takes as I said around 4-5 hours, maybe less if you're really good) you can get into challenge mode which is more traditional style with score/lives. Great music, great gameplay and a 40k gothic style really tie this all together! In the mean time, its back into the void for me.....

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Brutal, si te gustan los juegos Shoot 'Em Up, este lo tienes que comprar, es otra cosa a lo que fue el primero pero tiene las armas y la esencia de Valfaris, y obvio la música, vale la pena.
Meddl
I enjoyed it as much as the 2 previous games.
Cuando terminé Valfaris, me quedé con la sensación de haber jugado algo especial. Acción brutal, estética metalera y un desafío bien medido. Por eso, cuando supe que la saga continuaba con Valfaris: Mecha Therion, esperaba más de lo mismo. Y lo que recibí fue algo mejor: una secuela que se atreve a cambiar el concepto sin traicionar su esencia. ⚙️ Del run & gun al shooter sobre raíles (vertical) El cambio más evidente es jugable. Ya no estamos ante un run & gun 2D clásico. Aquí la acción se transforma en un shooter vertical, casi arcade, con desplazamiento constante y enfoque más centrado en esquivar y gestionar el espacio en pantalla. Sobre el papel podría parecer arriesgado. Cambiar la fórmula cuando algo funcionaba suele dar miedo. Pero sorprendentemente… le sienta muy bien. La saga mantiene: Intensidad constante. Combate exigente. Diseño grotesco y biomecánico. Banda sonora metal atronadora. Solo que ahora el reto se basa más en reflejos, posicionamiento y lectura de patrones de proyectiles. 🤖 El mecha y la sensación de poder El nuevo enfoque tiene sentido dentro del universo: pilotas una máquina de guerra diseñada para la destrucción masiva. Y eso se nota. Las armas son exageradas, contundentes y satisfactorias. Cada disparo tiene peso. Cada mejora cambia tu forma de afrontar las oleadas enemigas. Sigue habiendo gestión de recursos y cierta capa estratégica, pero ahora todo es más inmediato, más arcade, más “entra en trance y sobrevive”. 🎸 La identidad sigue intacta Si algo temía era que el cambio de género diluyera la personalidad de la saga. Pero no. Visualmente sigue siendo ese festival de: Carne biomecánica. Arquitectura infernal espacial. Enemigos que parecen portadas de álbumes extremos. Y la música… sigue siendo una pieza clave. No es acompañamiento: es combustible. El juego se siente diseñado para que subas el volumen y te dejes llevar. 🎯 ¿Mejor que el primero? Son experiencias distintas. El primer Valfaris es más metódico, más táctico en el uso de armas y en el avance por escenarios. Mecha Therion es más puro frenesí arcade, más reflejo y resistencia mental. No intenta reemplazar al original. Lo complementa. Y eso es lo más inteligente que podían hacer. ⭐ Veredicto personal Valfaris: Mecha Therion demuestra que una saga puede evolucionar sin perder su alma. Cambia el concepto, sí. Cambia el ritmo, también. Pero mantiene la identidad, la dificultad desafiante y ese ADN metalero que hace que todo tenga personalidad propia. No es una secuela conservadora. Es una secuela valiente. Y lo mejor: el cambio no le sienta mal en absoluto. Es otra forma de experimentar el universo Valfaris, igual de intensa, igual de brutal… solo que desde otra perspectiva. Y eso, en tiempos donde muchas secuelas son más de lo mismo, se agradece muchísimo.
I played this right when it came out a few years ago. Going into it I was a bit worried because of how the game kind of changed genres going from Valfaris 1 to Valfaris - Mecha Therion. Well, needless to say, I most definitely enjoyed Mecha Therion more than Valfaris 1. It's just SO well made and balanced. Excellent game, even if you didn't play the first one (or Slain, for that matter) HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

This game was such a blast. I held off on getting it for a long time even though I really really enjoyed Valfaris. In fact I've purchased Valfaris on multiple systems, which is something I almost never do. But the sequel was a horizontal shooter and that is just a genre that I have never been hyped about. I can play a horizontal shooter for a few minutes, maybe an hour, but I never feel the need to go much farther than that. I'm very happy to report that Mecha Therion is absolutely an exception for me. I devoured this game, and the whole time I was playing I was genuinely excited to start over as soon as it finished. The aesthetic is impeccable, the switch to polygons did not cause the heavy metal vibes to suffer like I had worried. It's all the head banging goodness I was hoping for, with exactly the right amount of story to keep me interested (this is something I think steel mantis does exceptionally well), and I just giggled like a little kid again many times throughout. I'm very excited for Slain 2! This Dev is laser focused on my exact kind of aesthetic, gameplay, story ... It is a worthy sequel in every sense.
Вальфарис, только в другом жанре. Игра стала легче (по крайней мере на стандартной сложности). Ну и по классике игр, чьё продолжение в другом жанре, некоторым людям не понравилось. Опять бла-бла-бла медведь на ухо наступил, бла-бла-бла игра уже то, бла-бла-бла графика дурацкая, бла-бла-бла ???????сюжет стал проще??????? Короче, если вы любите придираться, вам КОООНЕЧНО не вкатит. Всем остальным, кто хочет ещё подобного сеттинга, метальчика, и продолжение истории, должно понравиться.
