To celebrate how well Valfaris has reviewed so far – the Switch and PC versions currently have 80 and 88 Metacritic rankings respectively – we've put together a new 'Accolades Trailer' because, hey, this trumpet isn't going to blow itself:

In other news, we should be able to share more info about Full Metal Mode soon – the New Game+ mode that Steel Mantis is working on at the moment and will be released as a free update in the not-too-distant future.

Until then, keep it metal!

The wait is over. The time to rip the galaxy a new wormhole is now! I am beyond thrilled and am pretty much bordering on delirious to confirm that Valfaris has launched. It's out there. It's real. You can buy it. You can play it. You can get metal AF on its ass.

If you want to live the dream and buy Valfaris right now, it's priced $24.99 and comes with a 10% launch discount for a limited time. You can part with your money at any of these places:

• Steam
  
• Humble[www.humblebundle.com]
  
• GOG[www.gog.com]
  
• Nintendo[www.nintendo.com] (for Switch, obvs)

Before we get into some other details, let's have a quick, self-indulgent and shamelessly self-promotional look at what some of the reviewers and streamers have had to say about Valfaris so far:

"Blew me away... Valfaris is metal as fuck"

Saving Content – 5/5[www.savingcontent.com]

"The badass baby of Iron Maiden and Contra. It rocks"

Vice Waypoint [www.vice.com]

"The most metal game you’ll play this year. It’s absolutely worth
checking out"

Gaming Age – 91/100[www.gaming-age.com]

"Not only one of the best action games of the year, but also one of the best side-scroller shooters in over three decades"

Boomstick Gaming – 9.3/10

Mmmmm, delicious quotes.


In addition to the regular version and for anyone that wants to go maximum metal, a Valfaris: Digital Deluxe Edition is available to download for PC that includes the game, original soundtrack and digital art book.

• Digital Art Book: From concept sketches to final in-game imagery, this collection showcases the work of Valfaris developer Steel Mantis. Get a closer look at weapon, enemy, and environment art, as well as previously unseen – and unused! – designs.
  
• Original Soundtrack: Composed and recorded by former Celtic Frost guitarist Curt Victor Bryant, enjoy the savage sounds of Valfaris. The OST features 20 original tracks, including 'Extreme Vehemence' and 'Chronic Dissolution'.

Here's a sneaky snapshot of some of the Art Book pages:

The Valfaris: Digital Deluxe Edition is priced $35.97 and will be available with a 10% launch discount for a limited time.

And the good news doesn't stop there. No siree. Steel Mantis is currently working on a New Game+ mode for Valfaris called Full Metal Mode, which will be released as a free update at some as-yet-unconfirmed point in the near-ish future.

Full Metal Mode will unlock upon completion of the game, or will be unlocked straight away when installed if a 'Game Clear' file is present. Here's a brief summary of Full Metal Mode:

• All weapons, upgrades, and upgrade items will be carried over
  
• Enemies and bosses will be more aggressive
  
• Player will take more damage
  
• Players will have access to an additional Destroyer class weapon

As soon as I have more details about Full Metal Mode, I'll be sure to share them with you all here.

Aaaaaand, that's about everything for now. A huge heartfelt thanks to everyone who has supported Valfaris along the way to its launch. It's been magical and, more importantly, very fucking metal. Enjoy Valfaris!

Quick PSA for anyone interested in playing Valfaris on Switch – the game page is now live, which means you can find Valfaris in the eShop's 'Coming Soon' section and add it to your 'Watch List'.

Once added to your Watch List, you can then conveniently purchase it from there when available, rather than having to search or navigate the eShop for it again. I *think* Nintendo updated the Watch List function earlier this year so it alerts you when a game on your Watch List is released or if it goes on sale. But don't quote me on that – I've had games on my Watch List, but don't ever recall being sent an alert. So... not sure?

Anyway, don't let my lack of Watch List knowledge detract from the exciting news that Valfaris is now viewable in the eShop, and the release is imminent, arriving on 10th October, just like the Steam (and GOG and Humble) version.

And no need to feel left out if you can't Watch List on Switch, you can still Wishlist on Steam by hitting the widget below :)
