The time has come to sharpen your swords and dust off your spell books for Valhalla Knights 2, in which players confront big, bad monsters and an ancient evil hiding in the centre of the world.
The action role-playing game was created by Japanese developers K2 and Marvelous Entertainment, which also co-published the title with United States-based XSeed Games for Sony's PlayStation Portable system.
A sequel to the hit 2007 PSP title, Valhalla Knights 2 delivers more features, weapons and character customisation options than its predecessor but fails to advance its storyline due to various quests which players must pursue.
The protagonist of the story, which is unrelated to the original version, is an orphan who grows up to prove his or her worth as a leader who can slay the main villain, the Goddess of Destruction.
Gamers are able to customise their characters and battle team members as in the original but they have more choices. Players can choose their gender, race (such as human, halfling, dwarf or elf) and job class (including priest, thief, knight, samurai or ninja).
There is a vast array of weapons, armour, skills and equipment available. Players can switch control between any of six team members during the game.
