Finally got around to beating this game, Valis IV. This is the last in the giant pack of PC Engine games that was posted years ago. It was near the bottom of the list and the last three Valis games weren't that good, so I stalled on beating it.

This one was better but the studio who kept making these never learned how to do level design. I went into this game after playing a bunch of Rondo of Blood, which was a mistake because it set my expectations way too high for the Anime Sword Girl game series.
It's a good game, otherwise. Great visuals, good story, fine music. Really the level and enemy design were the only bad parts. Also Hudson apparently worked on it, which is probably why it plays so much better than the others.
