MORE INFO
Varion relies on a simple yet genuine key idea: to destroy his opponents, the player must use bounce shots (direct shots only stunning them), by taking advantage of an ever-changing environment. Ammo is limited, and must be reloaded by moving, in a dynamo-like principle, preventing players from camping. Besides over-simplified dual-stick controls providing easy handling for any type of player, Varion offers advanced features such as the Dash move, counterattack, special actions and various powerups allowing skilled players to develop combat techniques based on quick reflexes, terrain analysis and gameplay mastering.
The Battle and Tournament modes are also enriched with a modular match configuration tool, offering numerous rules and options which will utterly change the battles' stake and experience. Besides usual presets, players can set their own fine tunings and create totally customized battles. Finally, a solo/co-op Dungeon mode allows players to face hordes of increasingly dangerous bots in order to unlock new environments, sharpen their skills and beat their hi-scores.

Great stuff. An arcade station that feels like an old school fighting game mixed with some insane bullet hell. And as in those mashing as a madman *may* appear like a good idea at first, but the amount of tactics and skill it takes to master this gem says you won't be done with it in an hour. Plus, - couch game - make your buddy buy it and play for free !

An amazing little indie gem. Tons of depth and lots of different ways to play this game with tons of options as well. It also offers PvP and Co-op with up to three friends!
The game oozes quality and is loaded with content. An exceptional game and value, even at the full asking price here.
