Valkyrie Elysium

Valkyrie Elysium is a jRPG that is a part of the series started in 1999 by Valkyrie Profile. The game was developed by Soleil studio, the authors of Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time and Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker.

Plot

Player takes on the role of the Valkyrie, who is sent to a fantasy world heading for destruction. Her goal is to discover what is the cause of the coming Ragnarok and recruit warriors to help her in this task.

Game mechanics

Valkyrie Elysium is an action RPG. We explore the world, develop our characters, complete tasks and, above all, fight with the help of a highly arcade combat system.

The key role is played by recruiting Einherjars - fallen warriors who can be summoned during the battles.

It is worth noting that in contrast to previous installments, in which we could move only in two dimensions, Valkyrie Elysium allows free exploration of the three-dimensional world. This is very important in the gameplay, not only during the fight, but also during the journey, as it enriches it with platforming elements.

Game modes

The game features a single player mode only.

Technical aspects

Valkyrie Elysium offers fully three-dimensional visuals, done in a slightly cartoonish style. Yuya Nagai, who had the same role in NieR: Automata and Granblue Fantasy Versus, was responsible for the character designs.

An important piece of information for fans of the brand will be the fact that the music was composed by Motoi Sakuraba, the composer of soundtracks for previous installments of the brand.
