    Exciting medieval battles with few but specialized heroes in a varied solo campaign, no base building.

    The Valiant is a good low-scale battle strategy game: despite a deep learning curve, the core experience works well and the satisfaction builds the more the campaign goes on.

    What it boils down to is, we have seen this game before. Be it as WW2 soldiers or Orc stomping space marines, this is an experience that has been around for quite some time now. That being said, The Valiant is still a welcome addition to a genre that is currently underserviced. It has been put together by a talented team that knows exactly what they are doing and as a result, have created a game that fans of the genre will undoubtedly enjoy. The Valiant won’t change the world, but it will entertain its target player base for some time to come.

    The Valiant is a decent enough game. It most likely won’t amaze you, especially if you’ve played other small-scale RTS games before, but its campaign is the right amount . And if you’ve liked Dawn of War 2 in the past, you’ll feel right at home.

    Overall, The Valiant offers an engaging strategy experience that, while not offering anything ground-breaking, will keep RTS fans entertained. While the single-player campaign is presented in a traditional run-of-the-mill format, its multiplayer modes are sure to delight both old and new strategy fans. For that reason alone, the game is worth picking up.

    If you're looking for a new RTS and don't have high expectations, you can spend your time here with an extensive campaign. Multiplayer doesn't have enough players and it hardly gets any better.

    The Valiant's story is actually pretty interesting, but the gameplay (one of the core aspects of strategy titles) is just very middling. From unit issues like pathing and not all of them fighting, to the fact that there's not much to really do, and the very "samey" combat unfortunately side-line the story. This feels a little too unpolished to have been released yet.

    It's a fun game but the first 2 missions are boring. Also, the soundtrack is amazing.

    What a trashy unbalanced game you only have a few soldiers (only 5 squads most of the time) and you have to fight huge armies that spawn outWhat a trashy unbalanced game you only have a few soldiers (only 5 squads most of the time) and you have to fight huge armies that spawn out of thin air so many stupid limitations and the micromanagement is just horrible. Gameplay reminds me of some old games from 1995, but this is far worse and the lacking of tactical pause, and you can't manually save makes everything a pain. Completely unplayable after a mission where the game throws veteran armies against you in a timely manner, and you have to defend a tree. Horrible gameplay made for masochists.… Expand

    What a bunch of absolute nonsense. Please stop it with these uninspired medieval games.
