A home computer version was released for PC-8801, MSX2, PC-9801 and X68000. A super deformed-style remake was also released in 1992 for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. It is the second entry in the eponymous series. It stars Yuko Asou, a Japanese schoolgirl teenager chosen to become the Valis warrior by wielding the titular mystical sword, after defeating the demon lord Rogles. The dream world Vecanti fell under the rule of emperor Megas, whose hatred towards his brother Rogles and bloodthirsty tendencies seeks to wipe out traces of the former tyrant, including his supporters. Gameplay varies between each version but all share similar elements, as the player explores and search for items and power-ups, while fighting enemies and defeat bosses.\nWork on Valis II did not start for a period of two and a half years, as the team became understaffed when several members had left after Valis: The Fantasm Soldier. Telenet began shifting their focus in order to establish themselves in the LaserDisc market when the development moved toward.","lang":"en","source":"wikipedia_en"},{"text":"『ヴァリスII』は、1989年にレーザーソフトが開発し、テレネットジャパンとNECがPCエンジンCD-ROM²/TurboGrafx-CD向けに発売したアクションプラットフォームビデオゲームである。家庭用コンピューター版は、PC-8801、MSX2、PC-9801、X68000向けにリリースされた。また、1992年にはスーパーデフォルメスタイルのリメイク版がセガメガドライブ/ジェネシス向けに発売されている。本作は同名シリーズの第2作にあたる。物語は、日本の女子学生である麻生優子（あそうゆこ）が、魔王ログレスを打ち破った後、その名を持つ神秘の剣を振るうことでヴァリスの戦士となるというものである。優子が暮らす夢の世界ヴェカンティは、皇帝メガスの支配下にあり、彼は兄ログレスに対する憎悪と血に飢えた傾向から、かつての暴君の痕跡、さらにはその支持者たちをも一掃しようと画策する。ゲームプレイは各バージョンで異なるが、プレイヤーがアイテムやパワーアップを探し求め、敵と戦い、ボスを倒すという共通の要素を共有している。\n\n『ヴァリスII』の開発は、前作『ヴァリス：ファンタズムソルジャー』以降、チームのメンバーが数名離脱したため、開発体制が手薄になり、2年半という期間が空いてから開始された。当時、テレネットはレーザーディスク市場での地位確立に焦点を移しつつあったため、開発がその方向へと移行したことが背景にある。","lang":"ja","source":"ai_local_gemma4","base_lang":"en"}]}
