A Sane & Realistic Look at Valkyrie Elysium | KBash Game Reviews
2,191apoplexy is bad actually
Welcome to a sane and realistic look at Valkyrie Elysium, courtesy of a human being who has yet to become a corn cob. The game is fun. It suffers in the obvious places from a rocky development and a sub-AAA budget. We all know the song, whatcha gonna dooo~
But it's clear that the devs attempted to be respectful to the original games, regardless of any crap you read online. To be fair, if you ever hear the word "lazy" applied to devs, you can be pretty sure you're dealing with a painfully unserious person. Game dev is hard. And frankly, plenty of the design, and specifically the combat, shows a fair bit of consideration - it just takes wrapping your head around if you're not used to B games. Believe me, the lack of a true and useful cancel bothers me too, but it's a hurdle, not a landmine.
I use the other games as points of comparison throughout the video, which isn't particularly fair - it wasn't published with the "Profile" title, but since it sidles up to the legacy, swipes from Ninja Gaiden and other games, well, I point out what I can, where I can. On with the review
