Play Syvalion (Europe) (Beta) Online
Piloting a golden snake-dragon through tight spaces feels awkward at first—until you get the hang of bending its long body around corners while dodging bullets. That moment when it clicks and you’re weaving through chaos is pure arcade magic.
Syvalion is one of those weird, beautiful arcade ports that feels like it shouldn't work on SNES—but somehow does. You're piloting this golden dragon with a body that stretches and bends like a snake, weaving through tight corridors while enemies swarm from all sides. The controls take a minute to click (tilting the dragon's head to aim while the body trails behind feels strange at first), but once it does, there's something hypnotic about threading through bullet patterns with this shimmering, segmented beast.
The SNES version tones down the arcade's brutal difficulty just enough to make it playable, though it's still punishing if you rush in. I kept getting clipped by walls because I underestimated how much space the dragon's tail actually takes up. The music's got that classic Taito synth vibe, all pulsing bass and metallic percussion that somehow makes the whole thing feel even more surreal. If you dig offbeat shooters with unusual movement mechanics, this one's worth a few credits.
