Well well, obviously one the most original T-RPG I've played these last years. The combat system particularly provides good dynamic and requires a real reflexion. Never a T-RPG have made me think so hard on each move and attack timing.
Though, the difficulty may be too tough for newbies and the 100 % finishers wiil have to work hard here. The score is no higher than 7 for me not so much because of the difficulty but because of the lack of checkpoints on the hardest maps, making it all over again after 1 hour on a 2 stage map is really hard.
It's globally an interesting game overall and a T-RPG fan must-have.

I saw Covenant of the Plume for 10 bucks at a local game store, and based on C. Block's review, I figured why not? I love SRPGs, so it seemed like a win-win. The game definitely has some good points. First off, it's fun! Also, the storyline is based around Norse mythology, and for me that was incredibly cool. There are also three entirely separate "tiers" of plot based on how evil your choices are leading to some...interesting endings to say the least. The negatives are there, however. For starters, every battle gives you a "Sin" requirement. This is how badly you overkill an enemy through team attacks and such. If you meet your Sin requirement, the game showers you with overpowered equipment that, in turn, makes it even easier to meet the next Sin requirement. This combined with the Plume, an ability that sacrifices a party member but first turns them into a dervish of destruction, makes even the hardest map winnable in no time. That being said, using the Plume alters the story and your own path within it, so it was still interesting to see how it played out. Worth 10 bucks? Absolutely. But I'd recommend Disgaea DS if you're desperate for a good DS SRPG. If you already have that one, why not grab this one too?

I'm not gonna spoil anything (I can't get into the story as much as the other 2 titles in the series). But all I can say is that there were changes in the game that I'm not comfortable with. It would have been something special if they gave this game more time to work with. Of course it would have been a 3DS game by then but even so. Last time I played this was late 2009 and looking at it now, I still feel that this game leaves a lot to be desired.

Summary The third entry in the Valkyrie Profile series. Wylfred was but a boy when the valkyrie claimed his father's soul and sealed his family's fate. In the agony of the aftermath the boy swore revenge, and now for the man, the time has come to reap it. To the valiant she comes, and so to the battlefield he goes. Destiny awaits.
