| Valis II | Telenet Japan (Laser Soft) | 1989 | From the ashes of your ravaged homeland, the legendary sword Valis calls out to you. Its power transforms you into a ferocious warrior against the evil forces of King Magus. Crush Zarooga, the fearsome red dragon! Battle the unspeakabe Death Pod! But beware! Magus has sworn a blood oath to destroy you and capture Valis, to possess its power forevermore. Summon all your fury to face Magus in an epic struggle over the fate of your countrymen.*** [22]*** [1]*** [52]*** [37]***Early PC-Engine CD-ROM game. Gameplay is nothing special. Jump and fight your way through six levels of monster-infested areas. At the end of each act you have to fight a boss enemy. Fighting you do with your magical sword, which actually strangely behaves like a gun, so don't expect slashing through your enemies. It's some kind of platform/shooter game, which originated on Japanese home computer systems like the MSX. What makes this game special are the numerous, rather long, anime-cutscenes. Not much animation in the cutscenes, but they are nicely done and include voice-acting. Quite impressive for its time. Another strong point for me is the catchy music in CD quality. Graphics on the other hand are just average. Some areas lack detail, while others look very good (e.g. the boss rooms). | labelimagesubject |
| Valis III | Telenet Japan | 1990 | You are Yuko Ahso, a student in the Human World, called to fulfill your destiny in the Dreamland. Your mission is to wield the Sword of Valis to defend Dreamland against attack from the Dark King Glames. Glames seeks more territory to replace his disappearing Dark Kingdom. His powerful Sword of Lethus is the magical counterpart to Yuko's Sword of Valis. Whoever has the pair controls enormous destructive power. Yuko's twin sister, Valna, is the new Queen of Dreamland. Yuko needs Valna and her powerful magic in the battle against Glames, but Valna is trapped in a crystal block. Only with the help of Cham and her fighting spirit can Yuko free her sister. Can Yuko depend on Cham who was born of the Dark Kingdom? Yuko must defeat the evil bosses Garther and Kolilanba before Cham and Valna can help. You must evade and destroy Glames and his subordinates. Yuko, Valna and Cham can slide, high-jump and use special attacks with fire, ice and thunder. Increase your power by picking up attack items as you go. But time is running out. The fate of Dreamland hangs in the balance!*** [22]*** [37]*** [27] | labelimagesubject |
