Video Game Reviews of Valhalla Knights
Customer Review: Terrible Controls
Summary: 3 Stars
It's a hack and slash dungeon crawler game with an above average amount of customization. That is, until you realize everyone should be a healer in some sub-job, and you should keep changing class to get more points in strength. You control only one person in your party, and combat is 'real time' sort of like the Star Ocean series, but more simplistic. Basically your character runs around and tries slash the enemy with their weapon or spends all their time healing your party. You have one combo attack -- push the attack button twice. Extremely repetitive. Maybe if you loved Final Fantasy XII, you'll like the combat system. I didn't.
The biggest problem is how you move the characters. The directional buttons don't work in this game. You have to move everywhere using the roll-o-ball covered in fabric below the directional pad on your PSP. For me, this is so awkward I no longer wish to play the game. It is terrible because the game's camera keeps trapping you in corners, and you end up going in diagonal directions half the time you want to go straight.
The story is bland (your main character has amnesia, and frequently says "..."), and the monster variety is extremely low. Think lots of similar enemies with color variations.
The difficultly is medium, in part because getting experience is a real grind. (As in like 20xp or less per encounter when you have a full party). Pick a healer and a fighter and your party is basically set.
My recommendation is NOT buying this game. Try Dungeons & Dragons Tactics if you want a deep tactical game, and Dungeon Maker: Hunting Ground if you want a hack and slash dungeon crawler.
Description of Valhalla Knights
In Valhalla Knights you'll enter a place that was forgotten by history. This land was once a paradise, surrounded by deep green forests and crystal clear streams. Humans, elves, dwarves, halflings and other various races lived together in harmony... Until the roar of the demons tore apart their peaceful lives. The return of the Dark Lord sparked a new round of battles that would eventually encompass all the races. Now it is "The Cursed Land," and in this land full of despair, a youth searches for lost memories -- memories that will decide the fate of the Cursed Land.Role-Playing Games
