A pretty "old" doujin fighting game based on the popular "Valkyrie Profile" series, made with an original engine (and "sequel" to Valkyrie Fight). It's an interesting doujin fighting game, but its greatness is exaggerated IMO as it's often compared to fighters like Queen of Hearts, Party's Breaker, and Melty Blood in terms of quality. The game is fun and earns brownie points if you're a fan of VP, but it's significantly broken (though any character can beat any character with enough effort ironically) and not the prettiest doujin fighter by a mile (which is partially why I didn't make it HD), though having its own engine provides it other significant benefits.

If you've never heard of Valkyrie Profile before, it's a great RPG series by tri-Ace and published by Enix (now Square Enix) loosely-based on Norse Mythology and is valued for its good writing and interesting gameplay mechanics (the most interesting being that dungeons and typical travelling occurs in a "profile" or side-view). This game takes some of the popular characters in the series and puts them in a fighting game.

VF and VFT are basically the same, but VFT has a couple of extra characters and has a tag system which is pretty neat if utilized properly. While the game has a pretty neat fighting engine, it's difficult to utilize any combos against opponents who tech a lot, though if they fail to do so, you can button-mash yourself some cheap combos. The game has all the modes you'd basically want to see in a fighting game like this and even one or two surprises and hidden characters.

Characters have basic attack combinations and a decent variety of moves (some characters share moves), as well as a fair deal of super attacks (or in this case, PWS, or Purify Weird Soul). Fans will recognize such attacks as Lenneth's Nibelung Valesti or Freya's Ether Strike. The game has good music. The games were originally made by amaginZ and have since been abandoned, though the first game is harder to find. You can get this game at:
