Valkyrie Elysium's demo makes a strong first impression.
Valkyrie Elysium, the new action-RPG from developer Soleil Ltd. and Square Enix that is billed as a new entry in the Valkyrie series is nearly here. If you are familiar with the original Valkyrie Profile, however, there have been significant updates to the classic formula in its latest outing. Ahead of the Valkyrie Elysium demo's release, ComicBook.com had the opportunity to preview the title on the PlayStation 5 thanks to Square Enix.
For many folks, Valkyrie Elysium is likely to be the first video game in the Valkyrie series that they will have picked up. As such, the fact that it moves away from what the previous games have been like mechanically isn't actually a huge concern, especially given the proliferation of action-RPG titles like Nier: Automata in recent years. In some ways, the shift will almost certainly make it feel more familiar than if it had tried to completely recapture the magic of the original.
Instead, the Valkyrie must rely on their own abilities and weapons. Helpfully, these can be significantly upgraded through investing gems and souls, unlocking new ways to combo one attack into another or adding passive bonuses like more health. Divine Arts can also be discovered, which are essentially Valkyrie Elysium's magic, that deal different kinds of elemental damage.
