Hey! A selection of new Valfaris screenshots has arrived, courtesy of programmer/designer Thomas. They look totally rad, so rather than just dropping them in the screenshot viewer unannounced, I wanted to share them with you all in a post along with a bonus caption for added context.
Here you go:
Above: Therion arrives on Valfaris – this is the very start of the Landing Pad level. He's standing on his Wolfship, ready to kick some ass!
Above: A lovely green-glowing weapons vat. These are scattered around Valfaris and where you'll be able to grab new weaponry and killamajigs to play with!
Above: The area below the landing pad continues the industrial metal aesthetic. Also, it looks a bit cobwebby down here...
Above: This cydog is one of the first hefty foes Therion encounters. See the holes on its back? Homing rockets come out of there. You'll want to avoid them if at all possible.
Above: This room triggers a lock-in where Therion is attacked by waves of enemies all wanting to vaporize him. Things get pretty messy in here. Lots of blood. Plenty of guts.
Above: Therion blasting away at some patrolling bombships on the Landing Pad. He's using the Hellwraith – a destroyer class weapon that spits out molten skulls.
Above: Doing some pruning in the Eco Chambers. Here Therion's using a pistol class weapon called 'Wolflight'. It explodes enemies and dispatches wispy-but-deadly ethereal wolf heads to seek and destroy other foes.
All these screenshots are taken from Valfaris' first two levels: Landing Pad and Eco Chambers. If you want to see more of those, give this 30-minute playthrough a watch:

And as a little bonus tease, please enjoy this sneaky peeky at a hitherto unseen area at the top of the Eco-Chambers, which comes via Valfaris creator and chief art druid, Andrew Gilmour:
This area of the Eco-Chambers is known as the Hive. Have to say that I am really loving those colors! The weaponised bug-faced dude in the GIF below is a Hive warrior.
Man, it is looking so good! Really can't wait to play and share some more Valfaris with you soon!
Until then, keep it metal!

🎮 Full Controller Support
- Slain! Depot Linux [385.76 M]
- Slain! - Deluxe Edition DLC
Prepare to be Slain! Will you accept the challenge...
Players control Bathoryn, a hero in a Gothic world, seeking to liberate the 6 great towers from 6 deadly overlords.
Bathoryn must battle his way through a doomed land packed with gruesome pixel art foes before ascending (or sometimes descending) each tower, defeating puzzles, traps and monsters alike. At the heart of each tower, he must confront a mighty overlord. Defeat it and Bathoryn’s quest continues. Fail, and you’ll die gruesomely – mauled by werewolves, disintegrated by floating monstrosities, squashed by great weights or torn apart by hidden blades. And you will fail…
There are 3 key areas to be mastered in order to beat Slain! The order of Slain! goes as follows...
- Learn to wield 3 deadly elemental weapons, each one exploiting weaknesses in different enemy types. Each weapon has a different combo, timing and 'ideal' use. Mastering quick switching between weapons is the key to success!

Accompanied by the heavy metal visuals is an even heavier metal soundtrack recorded by Curt Victor Bryant (formally of Celtic Frost).
