Product Description:

Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria is an action-oriented Japanese role-playing game (JRPG) developed by tri-Ace and published by Square Enix. The game is a prequel to the original Valkyrie Profile and is set in a world inspired by Norse mythology.

The game combines 2D environment navigation with in-depth turn-based combat in 3D environments.

3 interesting facts:

1. Unique combat system: The game uses the “Attack Point System,” where each character is assigned to a button on the controller. Timing, positioning, and combos play a major role, ensuring strategic and dynamic battles.
2. Einherjar mechanic: You can recruit the souls of fallen warriors (Einherjar) to fight in your team. These units have their own storylines and can eventually be released for rewards, leading to moral and tactical choices.
3. Deep mythological influences: The game is heavily inspired by Norse mythology. Elements such as Odin, Asgard, valkyries, and Ragnarok form the core of the story, but are interpreted in a unique and imaginative way within the world of Valkyrie Profile.
