''Valfaris'' is a brutal action [[PlatformGame platformer]], developed by Steel Mantis and released on October 10th, 2019 for [[UsefulNotes/IBMPersonalComputer PC]], UsefulNotes/PS4, UsefulNotes/XboxOne and UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch. Like the creator's previous work, ''VideoGame/{{Slain}}'', it is [[NintendoHard brutally difficult]] and with aesthetics clearly inspired by HeavyMetal, though with a sci-fi setting rather than fantasy.

* CheckpointStarvation: Activating a checkpoint consumes one Resurrection Idol, but at the end of a level, you get the option to trade Idols for weapon upgrade materials, encouraging you to engage in ''self-inflicted'' Checkpoint Starvation for the sake of beefing up your weapons. Also, every Idol you hold onto increases your max HP and shield energy, further discouraging you from spending them. That said, you ''do'' need to activate a checkpoint in order to upgrade your weapons and change your loadout, so it's not a good idea to skip all of them, either.
