Valhalla Knights 2 is a continual exercise in frustration. The game isn't broken and full of glitches. It's full of conscious design choices that seem to purposefully create a horrible game. Tedious exploration, a boring story, and simplistic combat all come together to form a truly maddening experience. To call the game a waste of time is giving it too much credit. Wasting time isn't necessarily bad if you have fun doing it, after all. But playing through Valhalla Knights 2 will suck hours away that you could put toward something worth wasting your time on. Do yourself a favor, and let this one go on to its final resting place in the bargain bin.
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.
Original-Gamer writes: "With Final Fantasy XIII just under a month away, I decided to keep my time occupied with another RPG to take up that time until then. 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.
