    After playing this for about 12 hours I can honestly say this game is not all that great of a jrpg.

    I have enjoyed its battle system but its story is too cliche and the missions are really repetitive. This game feels like a copy and pasted version of a past game, Omega Quintet. It even has the same mechanic that if the female characters take too much damage they lose their clothes so    After playing this for about 12 hours I can honestly say this game is not all that great of a jrpg.

    I have enjoyed its battle system but its story is too cliche and the missions are really repetitive. This game feels like a copy and pasted version of a past game, Omega Quintet. It even has the same mechanic that if the female characters take too much damage they lose their clothes so now you can look at a girl in her underwear.

    Now I don't care how a game looks graphically, this is just to inform you, but the levels do look like something that should be in a late PS2 game or early PS3 game.

    Many scenes are done in the form of cardboard cut outs with moving mouths and blinking eyes which never really convey what is happening in the scene and most of them honestly have nothing to really add to the story like moments where you can chat up the valkyries.

    The characters are weak and some of the voice acting is cringey at times.

    If you are a fan of jrpg's then buy at your own risk but I would advise you at least wait til it goes on sale    … Expand

    There are one or two areas where Dark Rose Valkyrie kinda-sorta stands out: it makes fast-forwarding through the battles, the explainer screens, and the dialogue a breeze, which is nice, because the game features far too much of all three. Unfortunately, the game is also lacking in enough areas that its positives are negated entirely. The camera is terrible; you may not have to use it that often, but when you do, you’ll probably curse its existence. Likewise, the main character has a weird habit of grunting when he runs. This may not sound like much, but when you hear grunts for a few minutes as you try to figure out where to go next, it gets more and more grating.

    Dark Rose Valkyrie doesn’t blow the doors off the hinges, but it does serve as a much improved JRPG over what has been a largely tepid series of releases from Compile Heart and others. The story is fine, the battle system is fun and unique, and exploration is a large part of the adventure. While there are some cliches and rehashed elements throughout, Dark Rose Valkyrie represents what a top end-formulaic JRPG can be.

    Dark Rose Valkyrie is a decent game with an entertaining combat system which provide stunning fights and a interesting story besides a good character design. However at some points the game depends so much in fights, for bosses and chaining to complete main missions for the main story, that the game's pace resents from it.
