What's the point where a game is being unreasonably difficult? Where do you draw the line between difficult mission objectives or developers are forcing you to stick to one particular solution? These are the sorts of things that come up surprisingly rarely as a game reviewer and it makes those few situations where it is an actual issue somewhat frustrating.
Valhalla Knights 2 brings this issue up rather immediately. It's not that it makes or breaks this game, no there's no doubting that this is just a bad game. But it might not be considered as bad if not for the unreasonable difficulty level. Since this is yet another RPG with real-time combat that lacks a block button and has overpowered enemies you're going to find yourself in slugfests right from the get go that you will be on the losing end of."
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.

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.
