Compile Heart released Black Rose Valkyrie in Japan on July 21st, but it’s time to bring it back under the spotlight, as Idea Factory International just announced that the game will come west next spring. The English version will be titled Dark Rose Valkyrie.
Amazon has discounted a few notable games for the PlayStation 4 to below $20, including Dark Rose Valkyrie, Dragon's Crown Pro, Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, Mass Effect Andromeda, Vikings Wolves of Midgard, Warriors All-Stars, Yooka-Laylee and more.
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "If something’s not broken then it’s best left alone and Dark Rose Valkyrie is a perfect example of that idiom when it comes to RPGs. It’s a game that doesn’t try to reinvent anything or do anything particularly different but strives to deliver a long, deep and meaty RPG experience. But while that is a respectable way to approach the genre it can lead to a game being drowned out and ignored when it doesn’t do anything particularly unique or different so that’s definitely a line that Dark Rose Valkyrie needs to straddle in order to make its presence known. So does it succeed and deliver a solid RPG or does it wilt instantly?"
HPP: Although sporting an ambitious premise and a likable cast of characters, Dark Rose Valkyrie ultimately ends up stumbling in the end due to its predictable, cyclical gameplay, and overly complicated combat system.
Aren't this game call "Black Rose" not "Dark"?. i like the female characters art, wish it wasn't stupid generic harem like sao etc.
Hopefully it would be better than Omega Quintet.
This must be that variety i keep reading about?
