Therion returns as the hunt for Lord Vroll continues. Pilot an advanced machine of death and destruction in this explosive 2.5D side-scrolling shoot ‘em up, and sequel to the critically acclaimed Valfaris. Strap in and unleash mecha hell!
The game puts players in control of Therion, who pilots the powerful "Mecha Therion" suit to continue his hunt for the evil Lord Vroll. This is a departure from the previous game in the series, which was a 2D action platformer.
Players can fluidly navigate the 2.5D side-scrolling levels and dodge enemy attacks. The game features a range of ranged weapons that players can upgrade and customize, allowing for different playstyles and strategies.
Mecha Therion has access to a melee attack that players can use to deflect enemy projectiles and charge up the primary gun. This adds an extra layer of depth, as players must carefully time their attacks to gain an advantage.
One of the gameplay highlights is the ability to customize Mecha Therion's loadout. Players can unlock and upgrade a variety of weapons, as well as equip different modules that provide additional effects and abilities. This high degree of customization allows players to tailor their loadout to their preferred playstyle.
The levels feature a visually striking, heavy metal-inspired aesthetic, brought to life through the game's 2.5D presentation. The interactive environments include obstacles and hazards that players must navigate, adding an additional challenge to the shoot 'em up gameplay.
The game's boss battles are a particular highlight, with players facing off against large, complex enemies that require careful pattern recognition and execution to defeat. These boss fights are praised for their design and difficulty, providing a satisfying challenge for players.
While the base gameplay is relatively straightforward, the game's difficulty ramps up significantly, especially during the boss encounters. Players must master the game's mechanics and learn to efficiently dispatch enemies to progress. The game also features a "Challenge Mode" that provides an even greater challenge for players after completing the main campaign.
