Product Description

When the goddess descended from the heavens, mortal kind was crushed beneath her glass wings. Countless people lost their lives, and those lucky enough to survive could do nothing but tremble in desperate hopelessness at her great power. A lone enchanter fought the goddess and was able to wound her, but alone could not defeat her. The goddess dispersed her evil servants throughout the land in retaliation and hid herself within the world to recover. It has been nearly a thousand years since those events and mortal kind is still scouring the earth in hopes of finding and defeating the hidden goddess. The Kingdom of Weishelheim supports the best of these “Latroci”, or sanctioned adventurers, with an official status once they prove their valor. And thus, on the day of the examination to become an official adventurer, our hero/heroine’s adventure begins…Sequel to the hit PSP title released in April 2007, Valhalla Knights 2 returns with more features, content and freedom of customization, allowing players to create the ultimate battle party. Additional races, job classes, weapons and monsters enhance the real-time tactical team combat as players follow an original story created by the scenario writer of Final Fantasy XII, Miwa Shoda.

5.0 out of 5 stars Satisfying Successor, October 23, 2008

By 

cellotlix - See all my reviews

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Valhalla Knights 2 (Video Game)

I am something of an RPG freak, and as far as Valhalla Knights 2 goes, I was definitely satisfied. There are elements from the first Valhalla knights that are improved upon, such as extended character customization, which really helped make this game a win for me.

PROS
- The story was interesting and I was intrigued from the beginning. Though this is a dungeon crawler and there is lots of grinding involved, there is a coherent story also.
- The graphics are great for a PSP game. Everything looked crisp and clear on my screen.
-The battle system and subsequent battles are fast paced and exciting, but there is also an element of strategy involved. For you to be successful in battle, you can set up your character's formation, equip them with various different equipment. This is done before the battles actually start however. The game gives you ample time to prepare and countless enemies to gain experience from.
-The amount of customization is fantastic. There are hundreds of different weapons and armor types, the more powerful ones discovered as you become more powerful. You can also customize your class. You choose one class to start with (Fighter, Mage, Priest, Thief, or Monk) but you are not limited to this one class. In fact, you level up faster if you choose more than one class. For instance, you can choose to start as a Fighter and then when you reach level 10, choose to be a Monk and you'll start over at level 1 BUT still have the level 10 hit points and stats. Lastly, VH2 gives you the option to customize your characters appearance and race. For each different race, there are a selection of hairstyles and face types to choose from.
-The game is definitely not too easy. Items have to be analyzed before you can equip them or sell them, and the enemies become more difficult as you gain more experience.
CONS
-The only place you can save is at the hub town. This is easily remedied by pausing the game and then turning your PSP in sleep mode.
-There are no warp gates back to the hub town, which means to reach an area, you have to pass through the areas before it. However, once you fulfill your given quest, you can use the item ESCAPE CARD which takes you all the way back to the hub town's save point immediately. The escape card is available at the hub town's armory.

Overall this game is a great choice for those who enjoyed the first Valhalla Knights and love a good dungeon crawler.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but not great, August 4, 2010

By 

Gameboy "David" (Louisiana) - See all my reviews

= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Valhalla Knights 2 (Video Game)

I bought this game the other day and am slightly disappointed. I love the customization very much as you can change out your armor and weapons for each character you have in your party...up to 6 party members total. You can also change your jobs and spells, etc... I love the kinds of monsters you get to fight...venom bees, moths, mischiefs, mantis, hares, etc... The graphics are extremely lacking though. It is also taking soooo long to level up my characters. I am an old school rpg guy having grown up with them, but geewhiz I don't remember it taking this long to level up. Maybe it's just been so long I can't remember. =) Hopefully, the game will pick up pace. I have a number of hours invested in the game so far with my highest characters at level 11. If you don't mind taking awhile to level up before you can advance and don't mind subpar graphics, but want really good customization, then pick up this game cheap somewhere. Oh, another cool thing about this game is the types of characters and job classes you can choose from. Between that and all the customizing you can do is why I bought the game.

4.0 out of 5 stars Walk on Down, a lot., November 3, 2008

M. VanGriffin "Griff" (Minnesota, USA) - See all my reviews

= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Valhalla Knights 2 (Video Game)

Valhalla Knights 2 is much the same as the First game, you complete quests, gain levels, etc.
The GOOD: The Graphics are excellent. Easily the best point in the game. LOTS of areas to explore. Story is good, sound is good, and the Colliseum is a nice touch for quick leveling. And a Massive amount of quests to complete.
The BAD : Your going to do a lot of walking. There are no waypoint, or partals in the game. You'll have to trudge through several areas just to get where your going. With so many quests to do, sometimes its hard to figure out which to move the story along.

Aside form the constant time consuming walking, I'd Highly recommend this.
