Valkyrie no Densetsu<\/a> is the latest game coming to the Switch via Arcade Archives. This cult classic action RPG launched in Japan in 1989 but didn’t see a western release until Namco Museum Vol. 5<\/strong>, where it was titled The Legend of Valkyrie<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Developed by Namco, Valkyrie no Densetsu was greatly inspired by the Vikings and middle ages of Europe. As Valkyrie, you explore the world of Marvel from a top-down perspective as you hack and slash at enemies. You have a time limit to beat each of the eight levels, so it’s very different from many other action RPGs from the time.<\/p>\n

You can play on your own, or bring a friend along to control Valkyrie’s lizard-esque companion Kurino Xandra. There’s a currency system in-game, and you can pick up and exchange items for powerful magic spells. Praised at the time for its plot, design, characters, and gameplay, this is yet another welcome line-up in the Arcade Archives collection.<\/p>\n

Valkyrie no Densetsu launches on 14th April (that’s tomorrow!) for the usual Arcade Archives price of $7.99 \/ \u20ac6.99 \/ \u00a36.29. See what you can get yourself into below, and let us know if you’ll be picking this up!<\/p>\n
