Valkyrie Elysium, the latest work in the “Goddess of War” series developed by Square Enix, obviously suffered from the commercial results: after only two weeks from the listing, the price of physical films in Japan has dropped by half.
Including Japan’s leading online shopping platform Amazon and physical store chain GEO, they were discounted from the original price of 8,580 yen to around 4,500 yen, which is close to half the price.

In terms of Famitsu sales stats, the PS4 version sold 23,295 sets in the first week of launch (week 3) and the PS5 version was 17,067 sets (week 5), but the PS4 version dropped to 3,016 sets in the second. week (# 13 that week), the PS5 version went straight off the list, which shows that the reputation is lousy.
If you want to talk about why “Goddess of War in the Pure Land of Bliss” eats turtles, as well as some players who don’t like the look of Valkyrie, the biggest problem is that the playing time is too short, and many players who play fast last around 6-8 rounds, it ends in an hour, and even if there are more endings, it won’t last long.
And since the game is not made to level 3A specifications, even though the combat system is still good, there are still a lot of flaws in storyline performance and system layout. film to collapse.
In September of this year, Square Enix can claim that delirious A-2A level works have been published, in addition to the already listed “Chronicles of the Gods”, “Goddess of War Elysium” and “Dragon Quest 10 Offline”, there it is also “Xinghai Ranger”. 6 “,” Harvestella “,” Dragon Quest Treasure Hunt: Blue Eyes and the Sky Compass “,” Royal Knights 2: Rebirth “,” Resurrection SaGa ~ The Song of the Bard ~ Heavy Plate making “and the ending” Crisis Core – Final Fantasy VII – Reunion “.
Excluding the last three games that belong to the remastered version, if there is another situation in this wave at the end of the year it could be something that many players continue to watch and fear.
