Valkyria Revolution
Hopefully you enjoyed the Unboxing video
we did of Valkyria Revolution. If not, you can check it out
here. I addressed the failures of the PR and Marketing over at Sega.
Valkyria Revolution is more of a failure than that. This game is more
cut scene than it is game. The cut scenes get boring as Valkyria
Revolution drills the concepts of revenge, manipulating public opinion,
and using war. Thankfully these cut scenes can be skipped. In fact
everything around Valkyria Revolution gets boring. The story makes
little sense to me. These five characters want revenge on something that
happened decades ago. They will do whatever to get revenge. Ultimately
they die for it. Which we find out in the beginning of the game. So what
was the point?
I would spend five to ten minutes in a mission, and then thirty to sixty
minutes in cut scenes. Valkyria Revolution is horrible that way. Want to
know what is even worse? This game is an action adventure role playing
game. Gone is the turn based game play mechanics that made the last game
semi interesting. Valkyria Revolution is like the battle areas of a
Tales of game. The one difference is we do not run around the field
finding the enemies. We see them, and engage immediately. I will have a
review for Valkyria Revolution in issue #122 of Family Friendly Gaming.
Until then do not spend money on this game. It is not worth it on so
many levels. If you are a fan of previous games in the series then you
will most likely despise Valkyria Revolution. If you like the hack and
slash role playing games you will also find Valkyria Revolution very
boring. Five minutes of game play and then thirty minutes of cut scenes.
