Valis: The Fantasm Soldier II (夢幻戦士 ヴァリスⅡ Mugen Senshi: Varisu Tsū?), also known as just Valis II in the West, is a platform game developed and released by Telenet Japan, originally for PC98, PC88 and MSX2 in Japan. A remake was later released for the TurboGrafx-CD. Is the second title in the Valis video game series. Like its predecessor, it is a platform game.
An SD style remake was released on the Japanese Mega Drive SD Valis (SDヴァリス Esu Dī Varisu?) and on the North American Genesis as Syd of Valis.
Like the other titles of the series, Valis II is a side-scrolling platform game. It requires the player to navigate through two-dimensional levels, battling enemies, jumping from ledge to ledge, and running until the player faces a boss at the end of each level. Despite details of the gameplay vary between the versions, all versions do share several similar features with both Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest, and Castlevania 3 as well. The mobile remake added new stages and alternate costumes and weapons.
