When you think Valkyrie Profile, you might think of the original game, which has in recent years been ported to the PSP. But have no doubt in your mind if you go to buy this game - This is NOT that type of game. While the game itself is presentable, the sprites being quite crisp, the occasional animation being a treat to watch, the game itself is literally trying it's hardest to be unplayable. A strategy game mimicking Fire Emblem or Tactics Advance/War of the Lions, yet holding little of the charm, and all of the difficulty. Thought any of those were a pain in the backside - you haven't seen anything. Music is good, looks nice, but the gameplay is it's downfall. Players are punished for not achieving the near impossible - Playable characters can also be sacrificed for a brief moment of enhanced power, but never to be used again, and characters aren't exactly plentiful. Playing this will not be easy, or will you do it in one straight play through. Attempt, if you dare.
