게임은 Unity로 만들어진 런처에서 Mednafan 에뮬레이터 기반으로 구동됩니다. DLC 개념으로 게임을 구매해 런처에 추가하는 방식인데, Complete Set 구매 시 기준으로 1편 일본판, 2편 일본판, 북미판 3편 일본판, 북미판 아트북 1, 3편 OST 이와 같은 구성으로 되어 있습니다. OST는 전곡 수록이 아니며, 37페이지 분량의 아트북은 '이 돈이면...' 소리가 절로 나옵니다. 게임 본편은 전술한 대로 Mednafan 기반의 에뮬레이터 구동이기에 새로울 건 없지만, 기존 Mednafan에서 1편 오프닝의 영상과 음성 싱크가 맞지 않던 부분이 수정되었고, 런처를 통해 비교적 간편한 설정으로 즐길 수 있는 것은 장점이라 할 수 있겠습니다. 지금 시점에서 이 게임을 구입한다는 건 아마도 열렬한 팬이라는 뜻일 겁니다. 어떠한 형태로 어떻게 구동이 되든 '공식 발매'가 갖는 의미가 크기에 '미쳤어'를 외치면서도 결국 살 수밖에 없겠죠. 이런 게 바로 알면서도 속는, 팬심을 볼모로 한 상술 아니겠습니까? :) ps - 아직 인질로 잡혀 풀려나지 못한 4편을 기다려야 하는 것도 잊지 말아야 합니다.
Valis serisi oyunlarını oynamanızı sağlayan ücretsiz bir oyun başlatıcıdır. Lütfen Valis oyunlarını ayrıca satın almanız gerektiğini unutmayın. Başlatıcı oyunların kendisini içermez; sadece satın alınan oyun ROM'larını çalıştırmak için bir programdır.

The Valis series is very nostalgic for me (I only played Valis III on the Sega Genesis (I owned this one) and Super Valis IV on the Super NES (rented this one)). The general art (graphics, music, story) in these games is masterful, some of the best, most evocative I've ever seen from that era. The gameplay is good as well and reminiscent of other 80s/early to mid 90s games, which were often on the difficult side. That was true of computer games (Amiga, Commodore 64, Atar ST, old PC-DOS), consoles games (NES, Sega Master System, Genesis, Super NES, Turbographx-16) and arcade games in those days. Thankfully, like many classic games released for modern platform it has unlimited saves anywhere and a good number of save slots so you can take small steps to beat those games. This compilation is absolutely great for the price. I was hoping for it at some point but given how many of these great classic games often come out for the Nintendo Switch with no PC version, I had no illusions. I'm VERY THANKFUL to the publisher for releasing this on Steam and I hope VALIS: The Fantasm Soldier Collection II and VALIS: The Fantasm Soldier Collection III come out as well.
Я не знаю почему, но мне захотелось купить целый набор. Может быть я не доволен нынешними эмуляторами, либо я вдохновлённый игрой valis x.. Но в любом случае эмулятор хороший, да, только три части valis (четвёртую увы не добавили, но надеюсь что когда-нибудь добавят). Порадовало что это образы игр PC engine, а не от сеги, поэтому картинка хорошая. Плюс, я был приятно удивлен, что здесь есть возможность плавной перемотки назад - это супер. Артбук хороший, саундтреки через steamdeck увы почему то не получилось послушать (кнопка не кликабельная) И да, тестировал я только steamdeck, в целом сойдёт, но настраивать управление замучался (если кому надо, в раскладках сообщества "Nice Valis" называется) Рекомендую всем, кому не жалко 1200 рублей на ветер.
No lo compren es un mal port y los controles no funcionan. Ni me deja pedir devolución porque el launcher lo agregé hace meses a mi cuenta y los juegos recién ahora.
My friend who i play CS:GO with said if i post a review on this game and it gets 200 likes and 200 awards that he will buy me a RTX 3060 and 2 kilos of canned ham. So i'm just gonna leave this here. Help a brotha
順番に説明します。夢幻戦士ヴァリス初代はPCエンジンへとリメイクされました。原作は1986年のPC-8801版などです。マップが大幅に変更され、音楽は原作のアレンジ版となっています。ヴァリスⅡとヴァリスⅢは、テレネット内の制作チーム、レーザーソフトによる完全オリジナルとなっています。今回の初代~Ⅲ、までの流れは同Ⅳまでの布石とも取れますが、この度のコレクションにⅣは収録されていません。夢幻戦士ヴァリスというタイトルはパソコンとコンシューマーに展開されましたが、この間を錯綜致しました。オススメできません。全て、メッセージを、シナリオやら対ボス戦を勝ち進める挑戦者にはグッドラックと言いたいです。複雑な展開をした作品です。
This package uses Mednafen, widely considered the most accurate TG16/PC Engine emulator in existence. Props to the devs for GPL compliance; full source is included in the game files for the emu AND the unity launcher. This is probably why the games are a separate DLC, since those obviously can't be GPL'd. Includes 2 US and 3 JP releases with full, uncompressed audio (based on filesize comparison with databases). No censorship, as these titles are only TG16/PCE games; I don't think they ever had offending material. The games files are freely accessible, but the data is obfuscated. Yes, obfuscated data with an open-source exe. Bold strategy Cotton... However, you can run the games outside of the launcher using the built in mednafen EXE (normal mednafen won't work). Standard mednafen config and features from there, which is nice. Manuals are raw PDFs; one nice thing is it includes English translations of the JP manuals, as well the USA originals. I appreciate the devs using a high-quality emulator and providing source, so this gets a recommended from me. Normally I'd prefer no obfuscation, but given the fact they are using a state-of-the-art emu preconfigured with a UI, I have no issue recommending.
I love valis series, just give me a str8 up fair castlevania linear adventure with good sprites and good theme, I'm all over that anyday. btw where's valis the 4th.
Embora o jogo evoque um forte sentimento de nostalgia, não se justifica o alto custo de aquisição. A interface do menu, de qualidade questionável, compromete a experiência do usuário. Além disso, ao ser executado em modo tela cheia, a imagem aparece extremamente reduzida. A jogabilidade, por sua vez, é significativamente inferior à versão original do Sega Genesis. Para agravar ainda mais a situação, a total ausência de tradução, mantendo o idioma exclusivamente em japonês, torna a experiência ainda mais limitada.
