Play Valis III Online
Pick between three heroes—hack through enemies with Yuko’s sword, whip crowds with Cham, or risk it all as fragile-but-broken Valna melting bosses with spells. Classic Genesis platforming where every character swap changes how you survive.
Valis III came out for the Sega Genesis in 1991, developed by Riot. It was part of that wave of action platformers that really defined the console's library, sitting alongside titles that emphasized fast movement and vibrant, sometimes gritty, pixel art. The game didn't reinvent the wheel, but it offered a solid, visually distinct experience that felt right at home on the system.
You control one of three heroes, switching between them on the fly to adapt to different threats. Yuko uses her sword for close-quarters combat, Cham attacks with a long-range whip to control space, and Valna relies on powerful magic that drains her health with each cast. The main goal is to fight through side-scrolling stages, defeating enemies and bosses to progress. Key mechanics include screen-by-screen exploration, collecting power-up orbs to enhance your abilities, and managing your character's unique health and magic systems. The pacing is brisk, and the difficulty can be punishing, especially when learning enemy patterns and boss attacks. It feels like a constant test of your reflexes and your ability to manage the team's strengths under pressure.
