First things first, performance was abysmal - the game was stuttering every second. [url=steamcommunity.com/app/726950/discussions/0/3030299604456934374] This method[/url] fixed it. The FPS drops remained, but they were tolerable. I also had a couple of crashes at most. Now for the game itself. Story. Quite simple, nothing to write home about. Characters. The MC is too wimpy for a squad captain. Other characters, especially waifus, have good personalities. Unfortunately, these personalities aren't fleshed out much. There's barely any character progression, but the worst things is that they don't have conversations without the captain, and even during group talks they talk to the MC one by one. Thus, the game doesn't show any bonding situations between the squad members themselves. There are a couple of events that show discord or chemistry, but they are plot devices rather than character development. Romance. It's bland here. You increase the girls' affection levels by answering correctly during one-on-one conversations, just like in traditional VN dating sims. However, as opposed to VNs, these events here are too short and not very interesting. There's only one short date event with each girl. At some point before the end, you can choose which heroine's ending you want to see. It's just a short scene after the credits, so not worth the effort, to my mind. No harem ending either. You also can't romance the best waifu - the commander Miyako Osatani. A big shame. Script / Dialogues. A bit too simplified and sometimes repetitive. I wish the quantity was bigger, so you could know more about the characters. Difficulty. Difficult on the hard (there's easy, hard and very hard here) difficulty. Now, I don't like grinding. Usually in RPGs, I kill every regular monster in the current location and that's enough XP to enjoy the game while keeping some challenge. It doesn't work here. First, there's too many mobs on the map, and at some point, every third encounter leaves you are almost dead. There are no HP/AP fountains, you can only restore those by teleporting back to the base. You can't even dodge or outrun the mobs properly, since there's too many of them, and in case your preemptive attack fails, they decimate you. This becomes more egregious as you progress in the game. I'll admit, I bought the cheat items and points for this game, and restarted on very hard, because for some reason they locked greater affection bonuses behind this difficulty level. By the end of the game, if I didn't one-two shot a regular enemy with my strongest skills, the mobs would paralyze and KO most of my party. Before cheating, I managed to get to the shopping mall boss (Chapter 2 or so), and then the difficulty spike happened. Why do I have to use up my whole inventory of healing items so early? And then I realized what's the biggest problem with this game... It doesn't tell you anything. What's the most effective way to guard break the enemies? Which character abilities to upgrade to get the skills? What are the party members' proficiencies? WHO CAN ACQUIRE HEALING SKILLS? I spent 8 hours without a healer in my party because all the members have the same starting skills and you need to increase certain stats to unlock the healing ones but only for specific characters. It's also the same stupid system with party points that was in Agarest. You need a guide for everything. How to fight a boss, how to increase affection, since correct choices are inconsistent, what stats to increase to have a chance against the foes, what members to have in your party, etc. It would all be part of the experience if, say, your first run was an introductory one, and then the game encouraged you to do a NG+. But here, you lose almost all progress if you decide on replaying the game. Experience: gone, affection stats: nulled, money, party points: halved. IIRC, only equipment fully transfers. The bonding events are missable, so you sometimes need to fast-forward the time to make them appear. Constant alt-tabbing for correct choices just as in the Agarest games ruins the experience immensely. I'd rather prefer the choices were black and white - you either go for the heroine's affection or not. You can't quickly skip the game as you can a VN just to make another choice, what's the point of complicating the process then? There's also an interview mechanic, where you need to find the lying member of your squad. You need to submit several correct reports on these interviews to get the true ending. They don't have any relation to the traitor plot, so you're not weeding out the real culprit. Like, a girl is for some reason lying about another girl's opinion about her phone strap. What does that have to do anything with the traitor sub-story? And once again you have to use a guide to do them correctly, because the number of questions you can ask is limited, and if you fail at an interview, you will only find out about it at the end of the next one, which is a whole chapter away. And it's not even a real mystery anyway, because it's YOU who decides a traitor - not discloses or unveils, but specifically chooses who have been betraying the team the whole time. What's the point of playing the game if the only way to do it properly is to either use multiple guides or sink countless hours experimenting without any joy? There's no reward for it, no feeling of accomplishment, and the punishment for not "sticking to the script" is too severe. This game is simply too much fruitless hassle.

The story and battle systems were very good but there two things that completely RUINED the experience for me. [u]1. Overuse of Luck in Interviews.[/u] In the Interviews, the player has a limited number of questions they could ask. Which means players can only depend on their luck to find the conversation which is a lie. Either that or reload till you read all conversations in all possible Interviews for that chapter. This was extremely annoying. I strongly suggest an update where this limit in the number of questions is removed. Interviews should depend on the players' real deduction and reasoning skills only. [u]2. Loss of Parameters in New Game+ [MAJOR ISSUE WITH GAME][/u] Dear Developers. In case you do not know, the whole POINT of a New Game+ is to allow players to play the game all over again with the levels, stats, money and items they earned in the previous game. You may have allowed us to keep the items, but the fact that you completely removed all the stats and levels upon New Game+ means that all the players' hard work in the previous game went up in smoke. THAT IS NOT COOL! All in all, narrative-wise and battle system-wise, this is a very good game. However the above points completely ruined replayability for all BUT the MOST hardcore players. Sorry but: "Sayonanara. Mou anata to tsukiatte masen." I did put up a guide for the Interviews so that new players can do the Interviews more easily. [b][u]BUT, until you fix the New Game+ issue with losing player levels and stats (which gives me the feeling you destroyed my hard work). This game cannot get a good score from me.[/u][/b]
Dark Rose Valkyrie is a JRPG that feels like a mix of traditional party-based adventure and a light visual-novel style investigation story. The premise is immediately interesting: a special ops team fighting monstrous threats while dealing with paranoia, secrets, and the possibility that someone on your side isn’t who they say they are. It aims for a tense tone without losing that anime RPG charm. The combat is turn-based and fairly easy to pick up, with enough skills and party coordination to keep battles from becoming pure button-mashing. When fights are flowing, it’s satisfying to rotate roles, manage turns, and set up abilities to control the field. It’s not the deepest combat system in the genre, but it stays engaging if you enjoy structured, classic JRPG encounters. Where the game tries to stand out is the “traitor” angle and the investigation segments. Between missions you gather information, talk to teammates, and make choices that shape how events unfold. The concept of having to read people and piece together clues adds tension, and it gives the story a sense of forward momentum beyond simply clearing dungeons. That said, the pacing can be uneven. There are stretches where the game asks you to repeat similar tasks or revisit story beats, and the investigation flows better when you’re in the mood to read and pay attention. If you prefer constant action, the narrative-heavy sections may feel slow, but players who like character-focused RPGs will probably appreciate the extra context. The cast is a big part of the experience. Party members have distinct personalities and dynamics, and the writing often leans into mistrust and uneasy teamwork, which fits the theme well. Not every scene lands, and some dialogue can feel a bit “anime trope” depending on your tolerance, but the interpersonal tension is generally the most memorable part. Presentation is a mixed bag in a familiar way for this style of JRPG. Character art and portraits do most of the heavy lifting, while environments and animations can feel a little budget. Still, the overall aesthetic is coherent, and the soundtrack supports both the action and the more suspenseful moments nicely. Overall, Dark Rose Valkyrie is best for players who want a story-driven JRPG with an extra layer of mystery and decision-making. It has rough edges and occasional repetition, but the traitor/investigation concept gives it a unique hook. If you like anime RPGs and you’re happy to trade some polish for atmosphere and intrigue, it’s worth a look.
Cuando Idea Factory y Compile Heart hacian buenos juegos, como este, la saga Agarest, y Fairy Fencer F... luego se metieron con los Neptunia y ya me olvide de esta compañia... este juego nunca lo pude terminar por que tenia un huevo de cosas por viciar en 2018 y sigue siendo tan genial como la primera vez que lo toque, tengo pensado terminarlo 100% Luna besto Waifu JAJAJA
[h1]Dark Rose Valkyrie Review – A Compelling Blend of JRPG and Visual Novel[/h1] [b]A Unique Premise with Engaging Twists[/b] Dark Rose Valkyrie presents a fascinating alternate-history Japan ravaged by the Chimera virus, a cosmic plague that grants power at the cost of humanity. As Commander Asahi Shiramine, players lead an elite squad of Valkyries—each with striking personalities and hidden depths—to combat the outbreak. The narrative’s darker tone sets it apart from Compile Heart’s usual fare, offering a mix of military drama, sci-fi intrigue, and personal bonds. The standout mechanic is the "traitor" system, where one of your teammates is secretly working against you, adding tension to character interactions and replayability to uncover different outcomes. [b]Stylish Presentation and Strong Art Direction[/b] The game’s visual identity shines thanks to character designs by Tales of veteran Kosuke Fujishima, whose artwork lends charm and expressiveness to the cast. While the 3D environments feel dated, the 2D portraits and animated vignettes during dialogue sequences are vibrant and full of personality. The soundtrack complements the tone well, and dual audio (English/Japanese) ensures players can enjoy the voice acting in their preferred language. [b]Deep, Strategic Combat (When It Clicks)[/b] The battle system blends turn-based strategy with real-time elements, encouraging players to exploit elemental weaknesses, break enemy guards, and chain combo attacks. Customization is a highlight: tweaking weapon loadouts, skill allocations, and party formations adds depth, especially in later fights. That said, the pacing can drag due to repetitive mission structures and an overreliance on grinding for materials. A smoother difficulty curve and more varied objectives would’ve helped maintain momentum. [b]Visual Novel Elements Shine[/b] Where Dark Rose Valkyrie truly excels is in its character-driven storytelling. The visual novel segments—filled with dialogue choices, relationship-building, and interrogation mini-games—give the cast room to grow. Unraveling each Valkyrie’s backstory and managing squad morale feels rewarding, even if the interrogation system’s randomness can frustrate. The blend of JRPG action and narrative depth will appeal to fans of series like Persona or Danganronpa. [b]Room for Improvement[/b] The game isn’t without flaws. Side missions often devolve into fetch quests or monster hunts, and technical hiccups (like uneven performance on some hardware) can disrupt immersion. The fan-service, while tame for a Compile Heart title, occasionally clashes with the serious tone. [b]Final Verdict[/b] Dark Rose Valkyrie is an ambitious hybrid that largely succeeds thanks to its compelling story, memorable characters, and inventive combat. While it stumbles in pacing and polish, its strengths make it a hidden gem for JRPG enthusiasts craving a mix of tactical gameplay and visual novel storytelling. With a bit more refinement, this could’ve been a standout title—but even as-is, it’s a journey worth taking for fans of the genre. [b]Score: 7.5/10[/b] "A flawed but fascinating experiment that blends JRPG mechanics with visual novel storytelling, buoyed by strong art and a gripping premise."
Xbox Controller very nearly a requirement. While keyboard controls exist and can be reassigned (with a secondary options), even they are referred to by their controller equivalents, instead of function. The defaults are not very good. Be prepared for a good hour just reassigning them. This fundamental design flaw cements a "no" recommendation.
[h1]复古的回合制日式角色扮演[/h1] 《Dark Rose Valkyrie》是一款以回合制角色战斗为核心的日式角色扮演游戏。在游戏中,你将控制角色在大地图上自由移动,经历丰富的剧情,进行经典的回合制战斗。 游戏是一款由地雷社发行制作的距今年代已久远的日式角色扮演游戏,2d画面保留了地雷社一贯的高超水准,3d画面则复古粗糙,总体来说游戏体验中规中矩,仅推荐粉丝入手体验。 [h1]游戏内容上[/h1] 作为一款发行至今已经七年之久的日式角色扮演作品,可能因为年代久远,游戏在3d建模上处处能看到粗糙的表现(其实从同时期的女神异闻录5就能看出,18年还是能制作出不那么复古的3d模型的)。游戏在剧情上比较经典传统,采用视觉小说的形式描述故事,选项分支较多。在2d画面上还是很不错的,发挥了地雷社的水准,立绘什么的都很好看。游戏的战斗采用非常标准的日式的回合制战斗,3d的战斗体验也非常标准,没有太多的特色,但也发挥正常。游戏作为一款年代久远的作品,游玩期间还是比较容易出现卡顿,在庞大但看起来并不是很精致的大地图上游玩体验不算很好。并且游戏并不支持简体中文,仅支持繁体中文。 [h1]总结[/h1] 总的来说,本作是一款年代久远,制作中等的日式角色扮演游戏。游戏整体来说没有什么太大的亮点,仅推荐地雷社的粉丝游玩尝试。 [quote] 奏游戏之乐章,品人生之绚烂 [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45672460/]欢迎加入 『 丰川集团 』[/url] [u][b]以丰川集团之名,行评测鉴赏之事[/b][/u][/quote]

Dark Rose Valkyrie é mais um dos jogos de JRPG da Compile heart, onde o jogador assume o papel de Asahi, um jovem comandante que combate a ameaça Chimera Virus ao lado de seus companheiros. Gosto muito dos jogos da Compile Heart porém de todos que joguei este infelizmente parece ser o de qualidade mais baixa, muito inferior aos outros jogos como Dragon Star Varnir, Fairy Fencer F ADF e Neptunia. Vamos ás avaliações. História (6/10) - História simples e linear, com elementos claramente inspirados em God Eater onde a humanidade encontra um apocalipse com uma espécie de vírus que transforma as pessoas em monstros e uma tropa especial experimental é a única capaz de detê-los com eficiência porém o foco em vez de ser a ameaça chimera é concentrado nos personagens. O enredo em sí é raso e previsível, o que carrega a história são os personagens mesmo. Arte (5/10) Em jogos com elementos de Visual Novels e principalmente RPG a arte é uma das coisas que mais deve ter destaque, o que não é o caso deste jogo ainda mais se comparado com o outros jogos criados pela mesma empresa que por sinal é muito boa no que faz. A arte deste jogo é medíocre, personagens usam a variação da mesma roupa e por mais que eu ame os traços utilizados nos jogos da serie TALES OF sou orbigado a dizer que não combina com este tipo de jogo. O design de cenário não possui polimento nenhum e a discrepância com as artes mostradas em cg são cômicas de tão gritantes. Até mesmo a qualidade das CG's são medíocres. Personagens (8/10) Apesar do design e a trama serem sem sal os personagens conseguem ser interessantes de alguma forma, cada um com sua troupe (Garota rica e ignorante do mundo, garota tomboy, garota introvertida, o melhor amigo garanhão e etc) onde excluindo o protagonista (que eu considero o pior de todos os jogos da CH em personalidade, por ser o esteriótipo de cara certinho) são bem trabalhados possuindo algum grau de desenvolvimento. Não chegam a ser personagens marcantes porém me diverti vendo as interações com eles e aprendendo sobre suas histórias, a mecânica de dupla personalidade foi a cereja do bolo onde por muitas vezes me via salvando e carregando o jogo somente para ver as respostas que eu conseguiria. Música (4/10) A cada encontro com um inimigo uma trilha sonora diferente toca e varia dependendo do horário do combate porém eu só consigo me lembrar de uma música em específico que só toca em um chefe especifico, de resto a trilha sonora é bem esquecível, o que é triste pois estava com muita expectativa nisso por conta dos outros jogos. Gameplay (4/10) É aqui que o caos começa.. joguei o jogo na dificuldade hard pois estou acostumado aos outros jogos da CH que são bem similares porém eu estava enganado. O jogo te apresenta vários sistemas mas você pode escolher ignorar tudo e atropelar os inimigos com força bruta. O grind insano já era esperado porém este jogo conseguiu transformar em algo massante, não sinto vontade nenhuma de começar uma nova gameplay, diferente dos outros que joguei. A câmera desse jogo é grotesca, sempre fixa em dungeons e com o ângulo visto de cima na cidade atrapalhando muitas vezes na hora de explorar o mapa e não deixando apreciar do cenário (que não é grande coisa, porém visto de fica muito aparente a repetição de cenários de forma preguiçosa). Os monstros são muito rápidos e por muitas a hitbox do ataque(symbol attack) é inexistente, fazendo o inimigo te dar um ataque surpresa sendo que está bem na sua frente..tornando-se um problema pois os monstros dificultam a saída da batalha. Sistema de quebra de roupa mais atrapalha do que ajuda, sendo necessário muito grind para deixá-lo útil de alguma forma. Fiquei mais ansioso para ver o desenrolar da história e sobre os personagens do que continuar a gameplay. Não pretendia escrever tudo isso porém depois de quase 60 horas jogando direto esse jogo e ainda pegando um final ruim (para minha tristeza) me senti na obrigação de compartilhar minha experiência com o game. Se você curte jogos em formato VN e a gameplay é de pouca consequência para voce então eu recomendo este jogo. Se você busca complexidade e uma gameplay sólida já pode não ser o jogo certo para você.
