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.
