Valkyrie no Densetsu is a sequel to Valkyrie no Bōken: Toki no Kagi Densetsu, which puts you in the shoes of a young Valkyrie of Norse mythology as she sets out to reclaim the fabled golden seed, which has been stolen by an evil god.
The gameplay is top-down action with platformer elements. You must navigate many levels that compose Valhalla and defeat all enemies in your path while sorting out chasms and other obstacles. The game discards the RPG elements of the previous game.
You can also find several NPCs in each stage, who offer gameplay hints, clues, and items to buy with gold stolen from fallen enemies. You can buy health power-ups, improved weapons, and even magic spells for added fire-power.
