Digital Uppercut, the team behind crowdfunded Slain: Back From Hell, is working with Steel Mantis on a new, hard rocking title called Valfaris. This heavy metal action platformer is slated to release for PC, PS4 and XBox One in 2018. Visually it’s highly reminiscent of Slain, and that’s a good thing, since that frenetic, bloody style is what initially attracted me to that game. To read more details about this upcoming game, check out some details below.
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.
