Valkyria Revolution
SCORE: 48
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.
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.
Issues families will have with Valkyria Revolution are violence, blood,
lack of attire, enticement to lust, bad language, magic, alchemy, Grim
Reaper, false goddess belief indoctrination, and more. I ran into some
odd glitches while playing Valkyria Revolution too. Enemy tanks would
visually disappear but I was still hitting them. There were a few other
minor issues.
Valkyria Revolution revolves around an okay story with okay music. These
five people want revenge against Grand Generals, and an Emperor from a
neighboring country because they burned down their orphanage. These five
were the only ones to survive. They want to save Maria who was
kidnapped. So they whip their country into war so they can get their
revenge. At the end they die for their crimes. Don’t worry about
spoilers, it tells us from the beginning they were executed.
I like the voice acting in Valkyria Revolution. The forty dollar price
tag is decent. I like little knick knacks that come with Valkyria
Revolution. Ultimately they are a bit meaningless. I am not into the
music so the CD is a bit of a waste. I hope Valkyria Revolution does not
kill the franchise entirely. Maybe Sega will figure it out going
forward. The game play in Valkyria Revolution is horrible.
