Valkyrie Elysium: A real insider tip awaits us here!
The action RPG will be released exclusively for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 at the end of September Valkyrie Elysium. We were allowed a detailed demo version of the game on the Square Enix Plays 2022 event in London play and tell you in our Previewwhy us here a real insider tip might expect.
Prevent the end of the world!
In the upcoming title we slip into the role a Valkyriewho is charged with an important mission by Allfather Odin: she must prevent the end of the world. Ragnarök, the Twilight of the Gods is upon uswhich means the end of all times.
However, on her journey through Midgard, the human world, the still nameless Valkyrie should gradually get to the bottom of the truth and probably question their order accordingly. In London we were able to watch the tutorial and the full first chapter of the game, but unfortunately we have the story of Valkyrie Elysium hardly noticed anything.
While we did get to see some dialogue and short cutscenes during our time with the demo, we did get a first taste of the story let’s not allow ourselves at this point. But we had the opportunity to extensively with the promising combat system to deal with the game.
A satisfying combat system
Most of the time we fought our way through different ones fairly linear levels. The path was always clearly visible and it was therefore almost impossible to follow it. That seems similarly surprising at first glance Move repertoire of our character because their standard actions count towards genre standard. In addition to sword blows, these also include blocks and a dash, i.e. a quick evasive step.
But the development team of “Valkyrie Elysium” brings own ideas a. This includes, for example, the possibility of draw on opponents, so as to quickly bridge the space between you and the enemy. In addition, our Valkyrie different magic powers deploy. These different options meshed beautifully during our time with the demo.
This is mainly due to the fact that the opponents we were allowed to fight were often vulnerable to certain attacks were.
Some were easier to deal with with a sword, while others we had to use our supernatural abilities to do first. So we were encouraged by the game regularly varying our attackswhich was just great fun!
It was particularly interesting when we, for example Lightning magic against multiple enemies used at once. When our enemies stood close together, the lightning leapt to their neighbors and paralyzed them. So we had a clear path to take them down in close combat. Also contributes to the fun of playing hit counter who runs along to the right of the Valkyrie.
To see how we 100 or even 200 hits Being able to end up in a skirmish was a great feeling and kept our motivation constantly high.
For successful battles we become genre-typical in “Valkyrie Elysium”. rewarded with experience pointsfor which we in total three clear skill trees can improve our powers and abilities, for example with extra HP. Really chic!
The action RPG’s combat system already has one on us very round impression made and fascinated us so much that the time with the demo just flew by. It is not yet possible to estimate whether these mechanics in terms of their complexity eventually be able to keep up with action game heavyweights like Devil May Cry, but we are very positive.
A chic cel shading art style
The graphic style was also able to convince us, because this is a very interesting mix of one more realistic environment graphics and a subtle one Cel shading look. Just the character modelsespecially that of our Walküre, are wonderfully successful and shine with many details.
However, there are terms of technology too a few more construction sites, which the development team should ideally take care of. As fancy as the characters are, so some textures look dowdy in the game world. A few animations could use some fine-tuning. Although it should be close until the release, these problems should if necessary with patches get it fixed.
As did some of our peers, we had Valkyrie Elysium by the Square Enix Plays 2022 event not really on screen.
But now the title has our attention and we hope that you will also like the title after our preview will be kept under close scrutinybecause the action RPG has what it takes with its great combat system, a genuine insider tip to become!
