The player controls Lenneth and alternates between recruiting Einherjar and purifying, that is, eradicating undead. It is these purifications that provide the places in which the characters fight.
This seemingly minimalist scenario to say the least is in fact the basis of a very strong radical concept from which each compartment of the game is defined, otherwise it would be wobbly.
The course of the game, in particular, seems completely unbalanced, a simple succession of scripted presentations of characters and places without any real objective other than to overcome them. Nevertheless, even if it has provoked the rejection of certain players, it is this refusal of any compromise that gives coherence to the whole, totally far from the standards of the Japanese RPG, and which makes Valkyrie Profile an extraordinary game in the sense proper of the term.
The scenario can therefore initially be summed up in a series of deaths, not exactly glamorous and commercial as a principle. It has tons of content and secrets to unlock, and it even has a bonus dungeon where you can recruit a certain someone from the previous game. Support Emuparadise:. Sponsor Message:.

At first, the voiced dialogue seems a tad cheesy, but it gets better as the game progresses. Plus, there are a few familiar voices from the Pokemon TV show and the U. Metal Gear Solid. Along with the amazing visuals and swelling soundtrack, you get a character-development as deep as previous tri-Ace title Star Ocean.
You can build dozens of items and weapons, and combat is--gasp! Well, most of the time. Battles often require you to experiment with combos to topple certain enemies, although you still tap, tap, tap your way through fights with weaker foes. The story is hard to follow at first. Stick with it. The Norse theme here is bold new territory for an RPG. This is what games would be like nowadays had the 3D revolution never started. Valkyrie Profile is refreshing in a genre that's otherwise crowded by very few bonafide classics and tons of me-too wannabes.
While the breathtaking sprite-based graphics immediately make this game stand out, it's once you start to understand the unique fighting system that the true beauty of VP becomes apparent.
White everyone else is trying to copy Square, tri-Ace succeeds by being original. That's a lesson other developers would do well to learn. Although the learning curve is pretty steep, this game is an enjoyable experience from start to finish. Square Enix's decision to revive this cult classic on the PSP means that rabid role-playing fans won't have to shell out big bucks for the hard-to-find PS1 original.
Take that, eBay sellers! But then again, with the promise of cheap downloadable PS1 games on the PSP later this year, charging S40 for a bare-bones port of an antiquated game Companies won't be able to get away with this kind of port for long, but we'll let them slide for now.
Although its considerably older lhanmostof its PSP RPG brethren, Lennetli remains an enjoyable quest brimming with deep gameplay and secrets aplenty. Don't expect standard-issue roleplaying, though--Valkyrie blends side-scrolling platforming, clever puzzles, and wildly fun battles deftly mixing real-time and turn-based elements to create an engrossing, action-packed adventure.
