Steel Mantis and Big Sugar released a new trailer for their upcoming heavy metal infused 2D action-platformer, Valfaris.
In addition to the new trailer above, the developers showed off a prop of the Bringer of Mayhem, one of the game’s over-the-top sci-fi weapons.
Players can also sign up for a chance to get into the game’s upcoming beta.
Valfaris will be launching later this year for Windows PC (via Steam), PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
Here’s a rundown of the game:
After mysteriously vanishing from galactic charts, the fortress of Valfaris has suddenly reappeared in the orbit of a dying sun. Once a self-contained paradise, the grandiose citadel now plays host to an ever-growing darkness.
Therion, a fearless and proud son of Valfaris, returns to his home to uncover the truth of its doomed fate and to challenge the arcane evil at its very heart.
