Syd of Valis for Genesis


Image: MobyGames

Syd of Valis


Genre: action - gun

Publisher: Renovation Products

Year: 1992

System: Genesis


Gameplay Score: 3

Gameplay Notes:

Crazy slippery movement. Collect four weapons (normal, wave, sort of homing, and 3 way). Double jump but only when you're not firing. Most enemies go down quickly but in later levels they're bullet sponges. The main problem is only 30% draw distance so just move slowly while constantly firing. Easy, aside from some annoying platforming because of the slippery controls.


Level Design Score: 2

Level Design Notes:

Very simple. Every now and then there's an elevator to break up the monotony. Mid and end bosses in most levels. Your energy refills after each boss fight.


Theme Score: 3

Theme Notes:

Silly Engrish story.


Art Style Score: 2

Art Style Notes:

Clean graphics that look like a Master System game. Major flicker and other graphical giltches. Cute chibi characters


Audio Score: 1

Audio Notes:

Horrible music. So awful


Overall Score: 49

Review ID: 1297
