Play Valis Online
One minute you're slicing monsters in Tokyo streets, the next you're warped to a messed-up fantasy world—Yuko's swordplay starts simple but gets wild when you snag power-ups that make it shoot lasers. The jumps take getting used to, but soon you're ricocheting off enemies mid-air like it's nothing.
Valis came out for the Sega Genesis in 1991, developed by Riot. It was part of that wave of early 90s action platformers that tried to blend anime style with fast combat. The game stood out with its cutscenes and detailed sprites, even if the hardware sometimes struggled to keep up.
You control Yuko, a high school girl pulled into a fantasy dimension to fight evil. The goal is straightforward: fight through side scrolling stages, defeat bosses, and save the world. You use a sword that can be powered up to shoot projectiles, and you collect orbs to increase your health and magic. The levels are linear but packed with enemies and environmental hazards. It moves quickly and can be punishing, with precise jumps and aggressive foes. Playing it feels like navigating a chaotic, colorful dream where every corner hides another threat.
