Valis II (or Syd of Valis on the Sega Genesis) is the second title in the Mugen Senshi Valis video game series. Like its predecessor, it is an action platformer.
[edit] Story
Time passes since the events of Valis and Vacanti is set to rule under its next emperor after Rogles. This new emperor, Megas, wishes to stamp out any trace of the former tyrant, to the point of murdering any supporters Rogles might have had. Furthermore, his bloodthirsty tendencies recognize Yuko and the Valis sword as viable threats to his claim of the throne, and he targets his minions to eliminate her first before she has the chance to thwart him. Megas has underestimated the Valis maiden, however, and he, too, falls under her magical blade, and peace once more comes to the dream world, as Yuko again returns home to resume an otherwise ordinary human life.
[edit] Gameplay
Like the other titles of the series, Valis II requires the player to navigate through two-dimensional levels, battling enemies, jumping from ledge to ledge, and running until you face a boss character at the end of each level.
[edit] Version History
The original version of Valis II was released on the MSX In August 1989. Later that year it was ported to the Sharp X68000 as well. Both of these releases were Japan-only.
An updated version of the game with enchanced graphics and anime cutscenes was released for the PC-Engine. It too was a Japan-only release however.
Another port of the game was released both in Japan and the United States for the Sega Genesis called Syd of Valis. This title featured the same gameplay and plot as the original, but the character design was changed to a super deformed format.
