Summary
Building on the strengths of Valhalla Knights, the sequel whisks players off to an epic and expansive world in need of some help – yours.
The game opens with an impressive cutscene telling a story from the pen (well, keyboard) of Final Fantasy XII scenario writer Miwa Shoda. The Goddess of Judgement has passed the sort of thing Judgement Goddesses pass, and it hasn't gone well for mankind. A flood of monsters was unleashed on that day, nearly wiping out humanity in its wake. It was only the intervention of the Witch of the Crystal that saved mankind's remnants. The Goddess is still out there, however, waiting in exile. Flash forward to the present day and our hero is orphaned by those seeking vengeance against the Goddess's followers, and it's only the intervention of the government-sanctioned Latroci that spares you. You decide to become Latroci yourself, vowing to destroy the Goddess once and for all...
So begins a massive RPG adventure in which players are able to control six party members in the quest to save humanity.
The level of control you get over your character is huge in scope, with customisation options that border on staggering. The game's publisher, Rising Star, boasts 100,000 options in total. Players are able to control everything from their race right down to micro managing their different abilities.
You don't have to go it alone, either. Aside from the fact that you have six members to your party, each of which are also customisable and yours to command, you can also engage in a spot of co-operative play or versus battle in an arena.
The PSP might be a small console, but Valhalla Knights 2 is a massive game.
