Valfaris: Mecha Therion Review (Lord Of War)
Wow, such Metal
Key features
Very metal \m/
Most awkward movement implementation (manual direction changeš¤¬)
Skill required, unless you memorize patterns.
In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only Metal
Space. Hostile alien beings. Giant statues with lanterns, swords and colossal ruined structures.
It's epic. It's awe. It's Valfaris sequel, all hail the mech!

Limping adventure
Generally, I enjoyed Mecha Therion a lot.
One HUGE complain is about its manual change of direction. While in any other game you automatically turn left/right when press A/D, here... you must press a separate key. Just why?..
I genuinely died mostly because of this "innovation". As if the game generously showering with enemies and craptons of projectiles coming from various angles wasn't enough, I had to remember to click extra button. Thanks, I guess. Let's not do that ever again!
Keep up with the pace
Do not relax. Sit straight. Eyes open. There's TOO MUCH going on! The game is always on a move, literally. You are being moved forward and if you don't clear out the path, well, gitgut and restart a checkpoint.
Homing orbs, ground turrets, floating creatures, ceiling guns, laser mines, frequent bosses... oof, tensity is real.

Solid Game!
Did I mention that Mecha Therion features the same composer Curt Victor Bryant? Headbanging is guarantied \m/
Simply awesome game. First battles with bosses may (no, actually will) seem unfair and too punishing, but only until you start noticing patterns in their moves and then outgun w/o a single hit.
Frequent sequences get extremely chaotic, but hey, that's the fun part! Another cool bit is weaponry. Flamer, blast-cannon, melee hammer and swords. Pick a set and off you go!
