Valis (1991)

The Mega Drive/Genesis remake exhibits a gameplay system more similar to later games in the Valis series, particularly Valis III. It has the same story and basic genre as the original first game in the series; however, it is a different game with different locations, enemies, bosses and new cutscenes.

Storyline

Yuko Asou is a schoolgirl in late 1980s Japan who is fated to protect three different realms – our own Earth, the land of spirits, and Vecanti, the Dream World – by wielding a mystical sword known as Valis. Demon lord Rogles extinguishes a light in Vecanti which functions as a source of power for those who live there, and in a desperate plea for salvation, its queen Valia reaches out for a brave soul who can help them in their time of despair. Yuko on Earth is the one who answers the call, being summoned by magical forces into Vecanti to liberate them from the evil of Rogles.
