    VP is truly a classic. Its compelling story and Unique battle system make it a must for any J-RPG fan. Top that with amazing characters and an unlockable secret dungeon and you got an unforgettable gaming experience.

    A fun RPG, probably the best I've played on the PSP to date. It's upside: nice graphics, fun battles, col storyline, interesting characters. Downside: side-scrolling graphics may not appeal to all, the combat can be repetitive, and it's a bit "old school."

    Valkyrie is an excellent game. The story is very creative and impressive. The graphics are fair, for PSP anyway and the overall gameplay is magnificent. You will be blown-away by the features that this game offers. It's a must-buy!

Even with the time passed this game has aged gloriously and the newly added CG Cutscenes make the game's value even more worth it. You will fall in love with the unique combat system which focuses on combos, the drama filled storyline with a lot of suspense, beautiful visuals and music and a decent amount of replay ability for a game of its age. This game is highly recommended for anyone who loves Japanese games, RPGs, and are interested in Norse Mythology.… Expand

    The game on my stand-point, the story was very emotional, very good.
    Half of the time it would bring a tear to my eye (why you ask?).
    In this game you play as a Valkyrie who is sent down to collect warriors to fight for the gods but before finding the warrior, it shows the that person is like and what his/her life is, upon reaching their deaths, the Valkyrie approaches the person and    The game on my stand-point, the story was very emotional, very good.

    But the one thing that affect it for me to leave it at a 8 was because of the side-scrolling maps, they're way to annoying but it was a good play.    … Expand

    This is a very good game indeed. Beautiful 2D graphics, memorable characters with their dramatic stories, a lot of them! The battle system is amazing and unique. The game is pretty hard at times and it can be merciless if you've missed some item or spell earlier in the game. also it has some annoying platformer-style elements, but overall it's rather addictive.

    this is an example on how RPG's are made, and the PSP version is simply awesome, the mythology, the music, the difficulty, the deepness are defining on this one.

    A very rewarding game to play, perhaps the most exciting RPG I've yet to experience. Enough content to make me not put it down. This classic is easily enjoyable for any intelligent gamer who wants to see a new look at strategy RPG's.
    Even if it is 2006.

    Uma boa história e um combate diferente, escondidos por uma camada imensa de menus chatos e burocráticos:

    Pontos positivos
    +História dramática e diferencia
    + Muito bonito
    Pontos negativos
    - menu estupidamente burocrático
    - apesar de boa, será 2 a 3 minutos de história, mais uns 15 numa Dungeon, pra umas 2 a 3 **** horas no menu

    I played this a long time ago, when I was below 10 years old. I replayed it recently and all I can say is that nostalgia hit me really hard, so this review will be obviously bias.

    This is not your typical Japanese/anime game with half naked girls and dumb tropes. This game tries to portray daily realities of the past the best it can. Most importantly you play as a goddess, a Valkyrie, your role is to explore time and space (medieval Europe) in search of brave warriors to fight for you in Valhalla (which is the last "dungeon").

    This game is very difficult and the decisions you make are important (recruiting the right guy at the right time, getting the right object, etc.), it's not a walk in the park and you are very unlikely to get the true ending unless you follow a (non-spoiler) guide.

    The music, stories (yes, it's plural), gameplay, etc. are all perfect for this game. I highly recommend it, 10/10 masterpiece.    … Expand

    A great take on Norse mythology with great story, gameplay mechanics, memorable characters (why is Guts here?!) and voice work. One of the first games i played with different endings.

    It must have been a compelling story for me to actually finish this. Also, unique gameplay. I don't remember much about this game.

    As an originator, Valkyrie Profile is an inspired maverick in a field of me-too RPGs, beautiful to look at and exciting to play.

    A non-traditional RPG that comes out feeling traditional. The exploration, pre-enemy encounter elements give the game an instant hook to newcomers.
