GameSpot writes: "The original game was just released last year, but Xseed Games has teamed up with Marvelous Entertainment to co-publish Valhalla Knights 2, the sequel to the PSP dungeon-crawler. The impressive character customization is still intact but this time the world is much larger, and the adventure goes much deeper than the previous game as the story is written by the scenario writer from Final Fantasy XII. We met up with Xseeds at E3 to beat up a few monsters in Valhalla Knights 2.
The first game ranged about 40 hours but this time the main storyline can take anywhere from 60 to 80 hours to complete. We were told that in order to complete every side quest and mission of which there are 80, it can take upwards of 135 hours. Quests range from obtaining money and armor to moving the storyline forward and can take anywhere from 15 minutes to two hours to complete."
This series is destined to be quickly forgotten in the west (it actually has a strong niche in Japan), which is a pity, because there’s a lot to like about these games. They're not for everyone, but JRPG fans looking for something a little different would do well to try these out.
Original-Gamer writes: "With Final Fantasy XIII just under a month away, I decided to keep my time occupied with another RPG to take up that time until then. The game is Valhalla Knights 2 by XSEED Games. Now I've played a couple of games from the PS2 era that XSEED has developed, some good some not that great. But with nothing really hot out for the PSP at the moment, I decided to give it a try."
Marvelous Entertainment published some new screenshots and artwork from Valhalla Knights 2.
