Enix has been, since Dragon Quest revolutionized RPGs, the prime source for gamers sick of Squaresoft, who have been a haven for gamers sick of Enix (It's true, even though it makes hardly any sense). One could also say, that Enix has been the Coca Cola to Squaresoft's Pepsi, in that, they keep... Read full review »

Pros Character updates once you send guys to Asgard, levels of difficulty.

Cons VOICES SUCK, 2D SLOWDOWN, bad parallax, Sledgehammer of Plot wielded far too often.

Recommended it? Yes

Man, I had heard a ton about this game. A bunch of people out there were claiming that THIS was going to be the new hit RPG. "It's a REAL RPG (2D)!" Some of the hype I'd heard about this game were from people who worked at other game companies, so I figured this had to pretty good, right?

when I heard about Valkyrie Profile, I heard from two camps. One is from a college friend who picked up the game. He thought it was incredibly immersive, and I highly regard his opinion of RPGs. The other came from Alkaiser, fellow reviewer and another good friend. He thought it was tripe, and I... Read full review »

Pros Unique Story, Multiple Difficulty Levels, Multiple Endings

Cons Voice Acting, Some Graphic Problems

Recommended it? Yes

Mythology was the only part of English class I ever enjoyed. So, naturally, when Enix came out with a game based on the legends of Norse Mythology, I knew I'd have to take a look. I ended up coming out with a mixed reaction.

Although billed as an RPG, Valkyrie Profile is really more of a... Read full review »

As a long standing Enix & Atlus fan, I usually give their new releases an indepth look, to see if I want to buy. This involves checking out the back of the box, reading reviews(here and in magazines) and listening to word of mouth(if any). Valkyrie Profile interested me from the start, but not...

Valkyrie Profile

In an interesting mix of side-scrolling action and role-playing games, Valkyrie Profile will have you scouring the ranks of the dead in search of suitable warriors for Odin, the Norse god of gods. But before these dearly departed can be entered into Odin's einherjar, or heavenly army, you've got to train them in the right battle skills.
