    With well-calibrated gameplay and a truly evocative setting, The Valiant has the potential to find a second youth on consoles, succeeding in offering everyone the right level of challenge and achieving good results with a controller. Even if a bit repetitive and somewhat tiring, it's undoubtedly a convincing and addictive RTS.

    The Valiant is a good traditional RTS with unexpected commitment in a narrative campaign across medieval Europe. Unfortunately, there is a number of compromises about gameplay that make the fights tiring to manage, especially with the controller.

    The Valiant recovered from almost making me put my controller down to blossom into a decent entry in the RTS genre, it’s different take on the traditional RTS mechanics could well make it stand out against it competitors, but time will tell if The Valiant can turn into a franchise for THQ Nordic or be a one and done title.

    The Valiant is an RTS that doesn't invent anything new. It does not present a great novelty in the genre and the feeling it leaves is that we have already seen everything in other titles. In spite of everything, and despite having a fair graphic appearance, The Valiant is a very enjoyable title.

    If you like an RTS, there is fun to be had in The Valiant, but there are elements missing that would make it better – such as the ability to slow time and plan before springing your trap.

    The Valiant is a standard RTS and an above-average videogame. The visuals are spectacular, the gameplay is textbook, but the audio could have had some more tweaking.

    The Valiant is undoubtedly one of the best RTS games we have ever played on Xbox. It is a huge favourite for its plot, its characters, its atmosphere, its soundtrack… Everything would be perfect, if this console port did not suffer from so many handling problems. By trying too hard, the developers have failed to find the right balance, or to deliver a convincing port. It really is a shame.
