Technically sound and well-written, but tough as nails. 2
Covenant of the Plume is deceptively slick for a strategy RPG. It drew me in with its sweet, sweet nectar, got me in a dark alley, and then beat the holy hell out of me with its sudden spike in its difficulty.GRAPHICS AND SOUND-Square Enix pulls off one of the coolest introduction videos on the DS to date with Covenant.

The Action Outshines the Story 0
There are very few games that I've had to put down because the loss of a character bummed me out so much. This game had that effect on me, but in a far more personal way. Might sound like I'm exaggerating, but I actually led those characters to their deaths. Yup. I sacrificed them, and not even for the greater good. This is something you'll do more than a couple of times in VP.It is the third game in the Valkyrie Profile series. It differs from the other games in the series in that it is more of...
