Released in 2007 and 2008 respectively, Valhalla Knights 1 and 2 failed to wow the PSP action RPG scene. The main complaints of the first two titles primarially were lack of good story telling and lack of side quest explanation. Marvelous is back again with Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga, exclusively for the Wii. Promising a gripping RPG tale, can Eldar Saga fix the problems of the first two games and become that big action RPG the series longs to be?

This series is destined to be quickly forgotten in the west (it actually has a strong niche in Japan), which is a pity, because there’s a lot to like about these games. They're not for everyone, but JRPG fans looking for something a little different would do well to try these out.
Neocrisis: Continuing a bumper year of releases, Rising Star Games has confirmed Eldar Saga's 2010 release date as 17th September. The game will fill a niche in the current games climate by appealing to Wii owners who are interested in the RPG format.
