Edia, a Japanese video game publisher and developer, has announced a new Steam update for Valis: The Fantasm Soldier Collection. The update introduces a user-friendly guide detailing keyboard and controller bindings, aiming to streamline gameplay for players.
In addition to this announcement, Edia has provided the following information regarding inoperable gameplay controls in specific controller or keyboard inputs. If you are experiencing issues, you are advised to follow the below steps:
- On the Steam client, check if “Enable Steam Input” is selected in the “Controller” section under “Properties.”
- In the Valis Launcher, open “Settings” and go to “Controls,” then press “Initialize key configuration” to reset the keys. Please note that keyboard and graphic settings are tied and saved individually for each title.
- If the controller is unresponsive, close the game and restart the Valis Launcher.
- If steps 1 – 3 do no work, please delete the following data and try reinstalling: “C:\Users[Username]\AppData\LocalLow\Edia\ValisCollection”
- In the game, only the “Start/Pause button” works on the title screen, and only the “Movie Skip button” is responsive during visual scenes. Please note that other buttons will not respond.
- If controls become unresponsive during gameplay, the game might be paused. Press the “Start/Pause button” to check if control is restored.
If multiple controllers are connected during gameplay, only the controller used for the first operation will be recognized. To switch controllers, restart the game.
If players are still experiencing issues after attempting the steps above, please contact the support email address [email protected]. In the email, please use the subject “Valis – Controls Not Working”.
Valis: The Fantasm Soldier Collection compiles three games from the classic Valis series, featuring side-scrolling action and storytelling rooted in fantasy:
Valis: The Fantasm Soldier
Players follow Yuko Asou, an ordinary teenager chosen by Queen Valia to become the Warrior of Valis. Tasked with saving the dream world of Vanity from Emperor Rogles, Yuko must defeat his subordinates, the Vagues, and recover the five “Fantasm Jewels.”
Valis II
Set after the events of the first game, Valis II sees Vanity in chaos following Rogles’ death. Yuko must navigate the conflict between the forces of Phantom Emperor Megas and Rogles’ remnants, all while protecting the Valis Sword.
Valis III
This installment expands gameplay with two new playable characters, Valna and Cham. Together with Yuko, they face King Glames, the ruler of the Dark World, who threatens both Vanity and Earth. Players must strategically switch between characters to utilise their unique abilities.
