Developed by Steel Mantis and published by Big Sugar, Valfaris: Mecha Therion represents a daring genre shift from its 2019 predecessor, Valfaris . While the original game was a brutal, ground-based run-and-gun platformer, Mecha Therion straps the protagonist, Therion, into a massive, heavily armed suit of weaponized metal.

The protagonist, Therion, returns to hunt down Lord Vroll. This time, however, he isn't fighting on foot. Therion pilots a colossal, heavily armed mecha-suit capable of tearing through alien hordes, bio-mechanical abominations, and screen-filling bosses. The heavy metal DNA remains intact, featuring a blistering soundtrack composed by former Celtic Frost guitarist Curt Victor Bryant, paired with glorious, gritty low-poly 3D visuals. Why Keeping Your Switch Game Updated Matters

Absolutely. It’s a free patch that turns a good shmup into a great one. The exclusive "Therion Unleashed" mode alone justifies the download. You’re getting content no one else has.

In the pantheon of heavy metal-infused video games, few titles have headbanged their way into players' hearts quite like Valfaris . Developed by Steel Mantis and published by Eastasiasoft, the 2019 2D action-platformer set a new standard for pixel-art brutality and shredding soundtracks. Now, the franchise has returned with a vengeance in Valfaris: Mecha Therion —a side-scrolling shoot-’em-up (shmup) that trades the sword for a massive, transformable mech.
