The game "Valkyrie Profile" is for me the most sadistic game but a super RPG of Tri-Ace (Star Ocean, Resonance of Fate) which marked its time on the Playstation 1.

The game was released in December 1999 in Japan and in August 2000 in the United States, but not in Europe. So that we had to wait for its remake release on the PSP in 2007.

The game is inspired by the Norse mythology of which we follow the valkyrie Lenneth who must go and find the spirits of different heroes, who have shown their value to train and go to Valhalla while waiting for the approaching Ragnarök. We follow the story of each Einherjar before their death and which are significant each time for each hero. I can tell you that I was surprised more than once, but for the better.
Already before we start the game and we made it through the prologue, by following the story of little Platina, I said to myself: "Er, what happened? »This is necessary to end with the "good" end. I was speechless to finally understand everything and the meaning of the story. It was a slap.
There are three endings, the correct ending is only activated with specific choices throughout the game.

Frankly for RPG fans, this is a game which you have to play at least once in your life. But as I already wrote in the beginning, it's also the most sadistic game I've seen. For example, for each chapter, Odin requests that a hero must be sent to Valhalla. This means, that you spent hours with your character in the dungeons and that you have equipped and organized it as it should be in your party. Then at the end of the chapter, Freya asks you that espacially your favourite character must be send to Valhalla and is no longer playable. I can tell you that I shouted "NOOOOOOO!" and I think I'm not the only one.

But I repeat, it is a great RPG that I  even was able to play it through and that I can advise to anyone to give it a shot.

COME TO ME, MY NOBLE EINHERJAR
