This game was surprisingly good if you temper your expectations. I loved the first and second Valkyrie Profile so when this was announced I was cautiously optimistic. I’m glad I bought this game.
Where this game truly shines is the combat and voice acting. The combat system is tight, well thought out, and loads of fun. I usually get annoyed when having to fight so many enemies in a game, but with a genuinely good combat system that takes away the frustration. This game did that. From spells to weapons to einherjar summon, this game did it right. Easily one of the best combat systems in the majority of games out there. I was looking forward to actually fighting loads of enemies. The fun combat made up for the rather linear dungeon maps.
The voice acting is also really good. It didn’t sound fake or forced, all the voices sounded fitting and natural. As with the combat system, the voice acting here is WAY better than many big name games out there. I hope the VAs are able to partake in more games in the future.
The story was ok, but rather weak compared to previous VP games. You can pretty much see where the story is going from the beginning, so don’t expect something grand here. There are multiple endings, I’ve only gotten the “true” ending so far, and it was ok…again kinda expected.
I did like the einherjar characters and their little quests. I also did like Valkyrie and Hilde. I do wish there was more time to dedicate to their stories like previous games but..this goes back to weak story.
The world itself was very linear. The dungeons are long but you will have to try to get lost. The graphics don’t have the vibrancy of most current games but they’re still very well done and you can see that a lot of care did go into the character motions (Valkyrie’s fighting movements are fantastic with each weapon - far better than most modern day games), design, and overall environment given the budget. Asgard itself is really beautiful. My only small gripe is I wish they didn’t make Valkyrie naruto run…
If you’re on the fence about it I say give this game a chance. If you want a game with a rich, in depth story, this isn’t it, but you will have fun just playing the game if you like some good combat and general fun.

6.5-7/10
This is a fun and nice-looking hack and slash game from Square, it’s a refresh of the older Valkyrie Profile games except now in a more modern, 3D style. I have enjoyed playing through it but it can get a little repetitive. I would say the same thing of Diablo III and everyone loves that game. I think some of the reviews on this game (from the critics) was a little unfair, there is still a slight shortage of games on the new consoles, so we shouldn’t trash the good new ones that we are getting that aren’t just remasters or remakes.
