“This was a solid sequel, different but good. Similar to the first Valfaris it can be frustrating and unfair at times but overall a good time. It's easier than the first game if that's worth anything.”
— a player, Steam review · 6 hrs played“Amazing game. Gets better after about 3levels in. If you like schmup style games, then this is an amazing time burner.”
— a player, Steam review · 11 hrs played“I am 4 or 5 stages in and this game is crazy. Its like Dethklok the run and gun in the air. I say that because its not typical shmup play. Checkpoints, upgrades, forward and backward movement, bosses everywhere. Really fun game. Steal at sale price.”
