    I am sorry but I don't normally review negativly for a bad port but I will give my opinion on ps4 version of the game after this. The port is close to unplayable with it stuttering every 2 seconds and crashes, IFI is aware of the issue and me and multiple other people have reported this as a complaint just over a week ago and still nothing has been done about it, this is what gives this a negative review, purly the port, not the game Game review- I played the game on PS4 previously and it is a…

    I highly recommend those who want to play this game buy this on PS4 because the port is quite bad. I'll give you guys few reasons: 1 The stuttering make you hardly enjoy the game (and it is the main reason the game get most downvote), the game is playable but annoyed as hell. 2 Sometime you will get a crash. 3 No graphics change after the port. I'll keep my downvote untill they at least fix the stuttering.

    Just as a first note. There are plenty complaints about hardware issues from other people. I, for one, did not encounter these major issues and had smooth gameplay since the initial release of the game. The developers have patched the game, so it may be fixed for your computer. In any case, here are my overall thoughts on the game after achieving the true end. Story and Pacing The story itself is interesting and has good voiceovers (English and Japanese) that makes the characters have more…

    i honestly bought this game cause of the mostly negative reviews. totally get it if the game is unplayable. it's, however, completely playable on my ♥♥♥♥♥♥ system of a i5 3470 and a 1060 SC 6gb. they have capped the frames for some reason at 57 fps. Not sure why it's capped there but, maybe the game isn't stable at 60... i am not sure. it doesn't eat resources when playing. my cpu is old... 2012 cpu and it only uses maybe 20-50% cpu power and 20-60% gpu power on max settings.

    Not going to waste a lot of time here; if you like this type of game, it's a good game. This review is solely to add my voice to the list of people saying that the stuttering issue in this title is abysmal and the team should be ashamed of themselves. If you're like me and think 'What a nub, my rig wouldn't stutter! I'll buy the game and prove them wrong' - Don't be that guy. This game can't do a full camera rotation without stuttering on even the lowest settings on my rig that plays anything…

    Broken since launch and abandoned by developers. The game has a serious stuttering problem, and the only way to solve it is to disconnect all usb devices (including mouse and keyboard)... The problem (and possible cause) was reported to developers more than a year ago and nothing was done. Using a Microsoft software to monitor the game, it is possible to see that it does an absurd amount of operations involving the registry (apparently more than 15 thousand per second). Most involving usb…

    NOTE: I have never encountered any kind of technical issue while playing the game (no bugs, no crashes, no stuttering or FPS-drop). But keep in mind, that some other players have already reported issues like this. I cannot guarantee that the game will run on your device without any problems. I first learned about Idea Factory and Compile Heart when my friend introduced me to Hyperdimension Neptunia series. Then she continued her evil deeds by showing me Fairy Fencer F (do not look at my steam…

I know how most people don't read a wall of text so i'll make a list of key points that I feel people should know before droping money on the game. *I'm only 14 hours into it and enjoying my time.

    First off: I really, really like this game. But unfortunately I can not recommend to buy it. Dark Rose Valkyrie is easily Idea Factory's best round based JRPG, but at the same time it also is their worst JRPG. Sounds shizophrenic? Find out why. Quick Overview Pros - best story out of all IF games - very cool characters - deep game mechanics, lots of stats and options - many dungeons and they are quite large in comparison with Neptunia Cons - technical issues - trash tier graphics - very…

    What I'm writing is based on my experience playing the game using Xbox360 controller on Very Hard with no DLC perks being used. Story For a Compile Hearts game, the tone of the story is bit more serious in Dark Rose Valkyrie. Caused by a virus, humans get transformed into creatures called Chimeras that can further cause the spread of the same Chimerization virus. You play as a group of elites that are to combat against the spread of Chimeras using experimental high-tech machinery weapons…

    It might actually be a great game (on PS4), but the PC version has been released in a truly unacceptable state. For some reason the game is aggressively polling/accessing USB devices during regular intervals, right during gameplay. This causes stutters, mini-freezes, poor framerates and basically a horrible gaming experience that the game itself might not deserve. No game patch that fixes this issue has ever been released since the game's release 1.5 years ago. Therefore I can only say this:…

    I normally don't give bad reviews for games released by Idea Factory however after receiving this from a friend...I guess there is a first time for everything. I've only played this game for about 2 hours and there is some extremely bad frame rates from when you start the game even when you play the dungeons. Hopefully Idea Factory will see a lot of the negative reviews and finally decide to fix this game, however currently as this game is presented now I HIGHLY recommend not purchasing this…

    Video review (including score): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIY44zkWbB8 Dark Rose Valkyrie is another Compile Heart game very similar to their previously released title, Omega Quintet. It has an interesting combat system and some decent character designs yet, despite being released after Omega Quintet, Dark Rose Valkyrie is more of a downgrade than anything. Note: I have not finished the game (it is a 50-hour or so JRPG after all), so this review is based on my experience thus far. I will…

    Early review just to state little stuttering issues. Slight stutter when first entering combat, but that passes after a second. FX6300, GTX 970, 12gb RAM, Win 10. Nothing fancy on my end. The game has a lot of similarities with Omega Quintet with mission design, field layout, base events, costumes which unfortunately means spending for repairs. Leveling system sort of like Fairy Fencer F where you get a set amount of points to spend in various stats. Enjoyable enough game so far, and…

    First things first, performance was abysmal - the game was stuttering every second. [url=steamcommunity.com/app/726950/discussions/0/3030299604456934374] This method fixed it. The FPS drops remained, but they were tolerable. I also had a couple of crashes at most. Now for the game itself. Story. Quite simple, nothing to write home about. Characters. The MC is too wimpy for a squad captain. Other characters, especially waifus, have good personalities. Unfortunately, these personalities aren't…

    No one should ever buy this game on PC. Ever. Not for any discount, not even for $1. If the game interests you, play it on a console, do not ever play it on PC because it is simply broken. If you wish to get this game into a state where it's even remotely able to run normally without severe stuttering and unavoidable crashing you must unplug your keyboard and mouse from your PC entirely and play it through a gamepad. Yes, really. Though even then, you are ~still~ likely to frequently encounter…

    It looks like a good game. It looks like it has interesting story and characters. It looks like the gameplay is fun. But everything is dragged down by how badly this game was ported to PC. The stuttering, unsync audio, fps jumping all over the place, random crashes at long parts between save points. If only more time was spend on beta testing and fixing bugs, the first sentences would have been probably true. Right now it's just unfun because of the technical issues.

    The Most Gamer-Frustrating Idea Factory Game on Steam Recommendation If you like difficult games that force you to do all optional quests and reload save game files hundreds of times, buy this game. Alternatively, if you don't mind buying a bunch of DLC and also buying the $7 trainer on Cheat Happens, and you like the idea of fighting monsters with a team of teenage girls in skimpy bikinis, buy this game. Don't think you are going to fight monsters with girls in bikinis without the $7…

    I don't think I've seen a port this horrible. Among more common "couldn't be arsed" sort of things like having all of the button prompts be for a controller only and not having the ESC key do something sensible, the keybindings are straight up copied from the controller. You actually have areas of your keyboard assigned to mimicking left stick, right stick, D-pad, and 4 action buttons. Borderless-window fullscreen is actually something the game is relatively graceful about displaying, but if…

    Stay far away. The game suffers from massive frame stuttering that is the result of literally any other USB devices being plugged into the computer other than a controller. I had to unplug my mouse, keyboard, and USB reciever just to solve the problem. If you want to play a game in perfect silence while not even being able to alt tab out to respond to a chat, by all means, go for it. It's probably a decent enough JRPG if that's your thing. If you want a functional game that can actually work…

    In the current state this game is in long after launch, it doesn't seem this can be recommended. If you have the PS4 version, there is absolutely no reason to get this and I would dare say the PS4 version is the superior version as it performs better and somehow looks better (don't ask me how, but the PC version is a blurry mess at anything over 1080p which leads me to believe that it's not natively rendering at the set revolution).

    I have never left a review on a game before now but I had to leave one for this game. When other reviews say the studdering is bad they really aren't lying. It is on a whole new level of bad. So bad that it made me leave this negative review until it is fixed. There was apparently an update that was to fix this problem but as far as i can tell it was never actually applied. So until there is an actual update that fixes the studdering do yourself a favor and don't even buy it if it goes on sale.

    There's performance problems and I can live with them, there's visual artifacts when doing dialogs but I suppose it's not a deal breaker. But, I left the game on pause for a few hours and came back to find the game unresponsive and had to be closed. I just can't recommend a game that feels like it's going to crash any minute and would actually do so.

I'm a genuine fan of everything they've ever done, but I've gotta say this one surprised me. A much moodier story than you'd expect based on the beginning, and quite good storytelling throughout. The interview system is a bit confusing but there's guides out there I'm sure if you want the true end. Definitely worth a look!

In the Interviews, the player has a limited number of questions they could ask. Which means players can only depend on their luck to find the conversation which is a lie. Either that or reload till you read all conversations in all possible Interviews for that chapter. This was extremely annoying. I strongly suggest an update where this limit in the…

    Dark Rose Valkyrie is a JRPG that feels like a mix of traditional party-based adventure and a light visual-novel style investigation story. The premise is immediately interesting: a special ops team fighting monstrous threats while dealing with paranoia, secrets, and the possibility that someone on your side isn’t who they say they are. It aims for a tense tone without losing that anime RPG charm. The combat is turn-based and fairly easy to pick up, with enough skills and party coordination to…

    The game is the 2nd game with the most crash after FFXII. Never had any issues with other games. Game crashes randomly during fast travel. A total of 6 crashes within 30 hours and they all occur when trying to fast travel to HQ. Most of them happen right after defeating the boss of the dungeon to the extent whenever I defeat a dungeon boss, I go back to the save point to save before using it to fast travel. This also happens on the world map, similarly I go to the nearest save point instead of…

The game does not skip animations, even when told to in the options menu, it won't do that for all of them. Battles take way too long, leveling up is very, very slow. -The game offers free dlc, but they're mostly something akin to cheating. Free money and items, jurassically improves your odds early game.

    Addressing the issues that I see in every other review: I don't get any shuttering whatsoever, and if I do, it's very minimal to the point it's barely worth noting. The game did crash on me once, in the process of getting back to that point since I failed to save (AT ALL) Other than that, this is honestly a better game than I expected.

    Xbox Controller very nearly a requirement. While keyboard controls exist and can be reassigned (with a secondary options), even they are referred to by their controller equivalents, instead of function. The defaults are not very good. Be prepared for a good hour just reassigning them. This fundamental design flaw cements a "no" recommendation.
