Syvalion is a shoot 'em up game where you control a spaceship shaped like a dragon, divided into several segments. The spaceship can move freely across the screen in all directions and fights off robots, spaceships, and bosses with its fire attack.
The game's story follows a narrative where you must fight your way through hordes of enemies to reach the final boss. Along the way, you'll encounter indestructible obstacles that require evasive maneuvers.
Gameplay involves navigating the ship around the screen while avoiding damage and depleting fuel. The segments serve as hit points, changing color when damaged. The game features three main modes: Basic Series, Real Combat Series, and Time Attack.

How to Play
The World of Syvalion
Syvalion is a challenging game that unfolds according to the course of action you decide to take. The objective is to conquer the BOSS (leader) that you will find at the end of each labyrinth.
The game reacts to the choices you make and constantly changes scenarios. You can choose between two main game modes: the BASIC SERIES or the REAL COMBAT SERIES.
Basic Series Overview
Syvalion features a BASIC SERIES to train beginners. This mode does not have Power Up features (energy increase) nor does it follow a particular story.
The labyrinth and the BOSS (leader) will always be the same. When you finish this series, you will be ready for the REAL COMBAT SERIES.
Real Combat Series Overview
When you start the REAL COMBAT SERIES, you will start from scratch and the story will unfold as you play. Since there are more than 100 different endings, you will experience a totally different story every time you play.
In this mode, everything changes, including the enemy characters, the BOSS (leader) you will ultimately face, and even the shape of the labyrinth. The game does not follow a set format and requires you to learn how to handle the SYVALION dragon very well.
You can power up the SYVALION using the Power Up feature (energy increase). You must advance in the story until you reach the place where you can access these features.

Starting the Game
To start playing, press the START button on the title screen. On the next screen, several game modes will appear to choose from.
Choose your desired mode by moving the cursor with the Control Pad and pressing any button.
Game Modes
•
BASIC SERIES: Features five stages and allows you to practice to familiarize yourself with the SYVALION. In each stage, you will be given instructions and tips for playing. This series does not have a story, and the map, enemy characters, and the BOSS are always the same.
•
REAL COMBAT SERIES: Features more than 100 different endings, with the story developing according to the path you take. The game map, enemy characters, and the BOSS change depending on the development of the story. You can increase your energy, and the score you receive is double that awarded in the BASIC SERIES.
•
TIME ATTACK: The objective is to obtain the highest score possible within the marked time limit of 777. All damages you receive will be counted the same as in the other series.
Game Over and Continued Play
The SYVALION operates on a life system, and after suffering a certain amount of damage, you will lose your ship. Contact with enemy projectiles, enemy ships, or terrain traps like the ACID POND will shorten your life.
You can notice your loss of power because your tail will turn red and the screen will flash. When your power is very low, you will hear an alarm, and the window in the upper right corner of the screen will indicate the amount of power you have left. If you are hit again when your ship is already red, you will lose it.
In addition to the life system, you have a time limit. You must finish each stage before the clock in the center of the screen reaches zero, or you will lose your ship.
The game will end when you have lost all your ships. To continue playing, follow the instructions on the continuation screen before your time runs out. The enemy surveillance GALST will indicate the direction they are coming from.
