Dark Rose Valkyrie

Need a hex editor in order to get it to not stutter. And I have spent more than enough time trying to find one.

30 Hours to clear on easy ~ Fun journey with some interesting ideas and great "visuals", especially love the clothing damage. Sadly, the grinding is a bit out of line so I recommend just cranking the difficulty down and enjoying it casually. Crashed every now and then so save often but still enjoyed it the whole way through. Loved the characters and dialogue.

Dark Rose Valkyrie is a story-driven Japanese role-playing game developed by Idea Factory and Compile Heart, and published internationally by Idea Factory International, that attempts to fuse traditional JRPG structure with visual novel storytelling and a central mystery built around distrust and betrayal. Set in an alternate modern world devastated by the Chimera virus, the game frames its narrative around humanity’s desperate struggle for survival after a mysterious meteorite known as the Black Garnet unleashes monstrous beings across the globe. Rather than focusing purely on epic fantasy or heroic adventure, the game adopts a darker, more grounded tone, emphasizing paranoia, moral ambiguity, and the emotional toll of command in a world where anyone could be hiding a deadly secret. The story follows Asahi Shiramine, a young but capable commander assigned to lead the Valkyrie Force, an elite military unit tasked with combating the Chimera threat. From the beginning, the narrative places heavy emphasis on character relationships and trust, as Asahi must rely on his teammates not only in battle but also in decision-making and investigation. A defining narrative mechanic is the presence of a traitor within the team, whose identity shifts depending on player choices and interactions. This idea injects tension into conversations and story scenes, encouraging players to pay attention to dialogue, body language, and inconsistencies during interviews. While the concept is compelling and adds replay value, its execution can feel lighter than expected, as the investigation mechanics sometimes lack the depth needed to fully capitalize on the psychological weight of suspicion. Gameplay is divided between lengthy narrative segments and combat-focused sections, creating a rhythm that alternates between reading-heavy storytelling and mechanical engagement. The visual novel-style sequences are where the game shines most, offering fully modeled characters, voiced dialogue, and expressive animations that help sell emotional moments. These scenes allow players to build bonds with squad members, learn about their backgrounds, and influence how relationships evolve over time. The pacing of these segments can be slow, but for players invested in character-driven stories, they form the emotional backbone of the experience. Combat in Dark Rose Valkyrie uses a time-based turn system where characters act according to gauges that fill in real time, allowing for combo attacks, coordinated strikes, and tactical positioning. Battles emphasize breaking enemy defenses and exploiting weaknesses, encouraging players to think beyond basic attack commands. When the system flows well, combat can feel strategic and rewarding, especially when chaining abilities together effectively. However, fights can also become drawn out, with lengthy animations and inconsistent difficulty scaling occasionally disrupting momentum. Over time, encounters may begin to feel repetitive, particularly during longer dungeon sequences. Exploration and mission structure reflect the game’s mid-budget origins. Environments are functional but often linear, with dungeons and overworld areas designed more for narrative progression than discovery. Side missions and optional objectives exist, but they rarely offer substantial variation, sometimes serving more as padding than meaningful world-building. While these elements contribute to character progression and resource accumulation, they can slow the overall pace of the game, especially for players eager to advance the story. Visually, the game presents a mixed but distinctive aesthetic. Character designs are a highlight, featuring clean anime-inspired models that convey personality and emotion effectively during dialogue scenes. In contrast, environments and textures can appear dated, lacking the detail and polish seen in higher-budget JRPGs. Despite this, the presentation remains cohesive, and the use of full-body character models during conversations helps differentiate the game from titles that rely solely on static portraits. Narratively, Dark Rose Valkyrie balances grim themes with lighter character moments, occasionally leaning into familiar anime tropes to relieve tension. This tonal contrast can be engaging, as it humanizes the cast and prevents the story from becoming relentlessly bleak. At the same time, it can feel uneven, particularly when humor or slice-of-life interactions interrupt moments of high narrative stakes. Still, the relationships between characters remain one of the game’s strongest aspects, often carrying the experience through slower sections. Overall, Dark Rose Valkyrie is an ambitious but uneven JRPG that prioritizes character interaction and narrative intrigue over technical refinement or mechanical innovation. Its central themes of trust, leadership, and hidden betrayal give it a unique identity within the genre, even if the execution does not always reach its full potential. For players who enjoy visual novel elements, anime-styled storytelling, and character-focused narratives, the game offers a memorable experience with multiple paths and outcomes worth revisiting. Those seeking tightly paced combat, expansive exploration, or cutting-edge presentation may find its limitations more apparent, but beneath its rough edges lies a game with clear creative intent and a strong emotional core. Rating: 5/10

这是一款由地雷社制作Idea Factory发行的游戏《黑玫瑰女武神》（Dark Rose Valkyrie），游戏于2016年在PS4平台首次发行，并在2018年移植至PC平台，游戏有着非常怀旧的美术和音乐，说是2016年首发，其实看上去更像是千禧年的作品，而游戏内容除了世界观外，在玩法上基本等同于同家的海王星系列的换皮内容，如果玩法海王星系列那么就能看到不少相似之处。 游戏的故事背景主要发生在，世界有一天掉落了一颗陨石，陨石所携带的「奇美拉病毒」感染了整个世界的人类，而这些被感染的人类或多或少都获取到超脱常人的能力，病毒的潜伏期或许在外表并不能看到变化，但在病毒的发病期则会异变成怪物，所以主角团目的就是为了消灭怪物，「奇美拉病毒」有一设定就是老人与男性是易感人群，所以顺理成章的，主角团们大都以女性居多，而游戏故事中有不少跳脱世界观的情节，几乎是反逻辑内容，这些游戏设定更多沦落到为“恋爱”元素去服务，和地雷社的历代作品惯例一样，缺乏剧情深度，售卖美少女人设。 而游戏故事开局就基本将全部角色一一登场，在许多玩法方面复古味超浓厚，玩家也不必担心所谓的世界毁灭或「奇美拉病毒」这些东西，更多的剧情都是与美少女之间的互动和日常，剩下的就是繁琐的跑图和打怪，在RPG探索方面可谓是非常的不友好，以及有优化卡顿和BUG问题，这也是为什吗在steam上褒贬不一的最大原因，所以本作更适合推荐给地雷社的粉丝。 [table][td]欢迎关注鉴赏家[url= https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45519015/]“无趣评测”[/url][/td][/table]

Blighted hearts endure Steel and hope confront the plague Truth cuts through the dark

bon jeux, les mecaniques de jeux sont interessantes, le scenario n'est pas extraordinaire mais cv, ce nest pas nul non plus

本当の自由を見つけたい！

所々光る部分もあるが、このゲームダメだろ…… いわゆる恋愛RPGで、女の子との会話の最中に提示される選択肢から 正しいものを選んで好感度を上げていくというものだが、選んだ際の好感度の上下が表示されません 個別エンドに入れないだけなら文句はないけど、なんとこのゲーム 好感度マックスのヒロインがいないと、スタッフロールも無くバッドエンドで終わり 25時間もプレイさせといてこれかよ！ そしてこのゲームの最大の問題点はエンカウントです 一応シンボルエンカウントなんですが、敵とこちらが等速なせいで逃げるのが困難 しかも狭い通路に大量にザコが配置されてるので、避けるなんてもう無理 レアな限定アイテムを使えばエンカウント自体は回避できるけど、敵自体の存在判定は残るので 入り口などにモンスターに立たれると、敵に引っかかって通れません テストプレイしてくれ！ またこのゲーム、隠しアイテムというのが存在し、フィールドだとボタンを押すと キャラからソナーのようなものが発せられ、範囲内にあると表示されます 後は分かるね？　移動してる最中ずっとソナーボタン連打し続けるという苦行が ダンジョンだとソナーが撃てず、隠しアイテムがある場所に立たなければいけません 後は分かるね？　何もない所でも隈なく歩かされるというこの苦行 しかも、攻略に必要なアイテムさえ透明なことあるという ホント何考えてるんだ…… いつものようにダンジョンはだだっ広く、こっちの足は遅いのでゲンナリさせられます 状態異常が12種類もあって、一回の攻撃で2～3個付加してくるので対処は不可能 終盤になると挨拶代わりに即死攻撃が飛んできて、ポンポン人が死にます そしてこのゲーム、なぜか蘇生魔法がフィールドでは使えないぜ。ホント何でだよ 一応やり込み要素が豊富なので、このゲームにハマれる奇特な方なら 凄い長時間楽しめるかと思われます 一般の方は後悔するだけなので、プレイは決してお勧めしません 総合評価は55点

+ Combat is pretty good - Almost everything else
