Publisher Big Sugar and developer Steel Mantis have released the E3 2019 trailer for 2D action platformer Valfaris.

Here is an overview of the game, via Big Sugar:

About

Set in a far corner of space, Valfaris is a heavy metal infused 2D action-platformer and the next game from the team behind Slain: Back From Hell.

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.

Brutal combat. Deadly enemies. Stunning pixel art. Savage soundtrack.

Get ready to rip the galaxy a new wormhole.

Key Features

• Skulls in space! Gore in space! Metal in space!
• Savagely reduce foes to piles of gibs with an array of brutal weaponry.
• Explore a diverse range of tainted environments as you venture ever deeper into the dark world of Valfaris.
• Dominate ranks of deadly enemies and bosses, from the weird to the grotesque (and some that are just grotesquely weird).
• Gorge your eyes on devastatingly awesome pixel art hand-crafted by Andrew Gilmour.
• Feel the power of a seismic soundtrack by extreme metaller and former Celtic Frost guitarist, Curt Victor Bryant.
• Forged from the ground-up by the team behind cult hit Slain: Back From Hell.

Valfaris is due out for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC in 2019. A demo is available now on Steam.

Hey, that's me in the whole game segment!

 

[Pejo]

Fuck yea, trying out the demo when I get home. Game looks fun.

 

[Mechanized Attacker]

It looks fantastic! Can't wait!

 

[Orenji Neko]

Yeah that looks sick, I'm totally down with this. Also looking forward to that other Contra like game, Blazing Chrome, I think it was called.

Just tried the demo and it has potential. Ultrawide screen cuts off the HUD but the rest of the game is jammed in the middle of the screen. Graphics look good though and it's right up my alley with the melee giving you drops like in doom to get health and armor. On my wishlist though. More interested in it than bloodstained at this point.
