PSX Extreme writes: "As time goes on, more top-notch games for the PSP hit store shelves, and a lot of them are puzzlers or RPGs. One of the most promising role-playing handheld games this year is Valhalla Knights 2, which is shaping up quite nicely and should become a must-try for PSP owners at the end of September. The original allowed players to take a party of six characters into battle, and being able to fully customize your party was one of the main appeals. And now, thanks to recently revealed details by publisher XSEED, weve got a great look at what we can expect from the sequel, which is going to follow the same formula. But even though it will utilize the same combat and job class structure, the depth is going to be even greater, and of course, you will find a brand new story that should be both engaging and compelling. Oh, and were also expecting some pretty nifty visuals to go along with this production; PSP software really is looking better and better."
This series is destined to be quickly forgotten in the west (it actually has a strong niche in Japan), which is a pity, because there’s a lot to like about these games. They're not for everyone, but JRPG fans looking for something a little different would do well to try these out.

The game is Valhalla Knights 2 by XSEED Games. Now I've played a couple of games from the PS2 era that XSEED has developed, some good some not that great. But with nothing really hot out for the PSP at the moment, I decided to give it a try."
Marvelous Entertainment published some new screenshots and artwork from Valhalla Knights 2.
