Product Description
-------------------
The lands of Eldar have long been known as the origin of
chaos, a place where monsters and demons wreak havoc,
indiscriminate in their madness. Legend tells of how the Spirit
King, whose coming was heralded in by a meteor shower, gained
control of the creatures and waged an unrelenting war upon
civilization. Order and life were brought to the brink of
destruction, but an alliance of the four races was able to drive
them back and seal the evil. Centuries more have passed and once
again the lands are slowly being overrun by the reemerging
monsters. Without a known cause or even a united front to repel
them, it would seem that this time, Eldar will fall. It is up to
the main character to take up the forgotten mantle of the hero,
reunite the races, and confront the hordes of monsters. The third
in the Valhalla Knights series created by the development team K2
(Tenchu series) and Marvelous Entertainment Inc., Valhalla
Knights: Eldar Saga marks the series jump to home console as it
debuts on Wii. Boasting a revamped graphics engine with real-time
battles playing out on the field , the Valhalla Knights
experience is refined and improved while keeping the
customization and exploration options that the series is known
for intact. The series expands further as two players can now
play and explore the world of Eldar together online via an
internet connection.

The lands of Eldar have long been known as the origin of chaos,
a place where monsters and demons wreak havoc, indiscriminate in
their madness. Legend tells of how the Spirit King, whose coming
was heralded in by a meteor shower, gained control of the
creatures and waged an unrelenting war upon civilization. Order
and life were brought to the brink of destruction, but an
alliance of the four races was able to drive them back and seal
the evil. Centuries more have passed and once again the lands are
slowly being overrun by the reemerging monsters. Without a known
cause or even a united front to repel them, it would seem that
this time, Eldar will fall. It is up to the main character to
take up the forgotten mantle of the hero, reunite the races,
confront the hordes of monsters and restore peace to the land.
Gameplay
An action role-playing game (RPG) like the first two PSP
releases in the Valhalla Knights series, Valhalla Knights: Eldar
Saga challenges players with the task of uniting the divided
peoples of the land of Eldar against a rising evil and battling
the creatures at its vanguard. Fighting your way through a series
of story driving quests and optional side adventures, players
have the freedom of choice needed to build their party, as well
as their choice of a variety of character classes, including
fighter, mage, priest, thief, and bard as they customize their
own character. The game can be played in single player mode
locally, where the player teams up with AI characters, or a
two-player co-op mode online that lets you battle your way across
Eldar with friends from all over the world. Action within the
game's storyline is split between two player controlled
characters set within different time periods, as the player's
initial character eventually marries, has children and passes the
quest to save Eldar on to his/her progeny. Combat in quests
occurs in real-time, meaning that enemies are always viewable.
This makes for both more exciting action, and if the player
chooses, the ability to keep out of an enemy's path and thus
bypass conflict or at the least put it off until a more rtune
time.
