It’s difficult to get into places which is usually easy on PSP. I’m stuck in Arkdain Ruins. ### 4/5 — yess *2024-03-11, version 1.0.8* always wanted to play this game but never was a ps user, worth it on mobile unless you want to spend a bunch of money on a psp and overpriced old copies. ### 3/5 — Good, but... *2022-07-14, version 1.0.6* I played this game long ago on psp and it was great, but to make it a mobile game, more needs to be done. 1. You guys need to make controller more compatible to mobile touching screen. 2. Looking for a "combo repeater" that record the order to actions of characters and repeat in combats. This could be a better version of "auto battle". ### 2/5 — Die hards not try hards *2021-02-17, version 1.0.6* Two things: #1: Controls are not bad, as the original game also had bad platforming. #2: Not for newbs or those used to modern gaming. This is classic gaming with no covenience or handholding. Surprisingly archaic. Id only rec for people who grew up on it. ### 2/5 — Needs controller support *2021-02-07, version 1.0.5* It’s a good game, I’ve played it way back when it first came out on the PS1, but omg this needs MiFi support badly. It would instantly escalate this to 5 stars. ### 2/5 — Needs controller compatibility *2020-09-23, version 1.0.5* The game is amazing the medium not so much, please add controller compatibility ### 1/5 — Doesn’t have controller support at all *2020-02-18, version 1.0.5* I’ve tried playing this with my PS4 controller and nothing happens. This game needs a controller support update ASAP because it’s awful to play without one. ### 1/5 — Not full screen on iPad. *2020-01-06, version 1.0.5* And graphics are very pixelated. You could of added a smoothing option... I want my money back. Square enix does lazy ports. ### 1/5 — Bad controls *2020-01-03, version 1.0.5* Horrible controls. This should be a free app. ### 1/5 — Stay away, terrible controls w/ no updates *2019-12-30, version 1.0.5* Was so psyched to play this port, and on top of it a Square Enix sale was going on so I had to buy it! Unfortunately the controls are next to impossible making the game unplayable. I noticed so many reviews asking for the controls to be fixed, and this has been going on for over a year? Ridiculous. Hopefully one day Square will stand up and fix this broken port of Valkyrie Profile. ### 4/5 — Gamepad support? *2019-12-15, version 1.0.5* Can we get gamepad support? Quite unplayable sometime. I know you might don’t care because you already got my money :) ### 4/5 — Great but needs updated game pad added in *2019-10-06, version 1.0.5* With the new game pad support from IOS I am hoping that Square Enix will update the game to allow more Game Pad support ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No controller support *2023-10-09, version 1.0.6* After all this time, still no controller support. ### 1/5 — I can’t pick up items *2022-10-11, version 1.0.6* Anyone has this problem? ### 1/5 — One of the best games of all time hampered by its port *2022-10-01, version 1.0.6* Valkyrie Profile is one of the all time greatest RPGs. However, this port earns its single star due to making no concessions for being a mobile port. The opening of this game is over an hour long with no auto saves. You can skip the whole thing, but then you’re missing the excellent story. Square, please implement auto saves that start at each new story screen. No one has time to watch their phone for an hour and a half without being able to save. Speaking from experience, some of the later dungeons are also over an hour without a save point. ### 1/5 — Amazing game - developer support when? *2022-05-06, version 1.0.6* This game has been out for years, and it still doesn’t not have controller support. Utterly and completely embarrassing. Is it so hard for a mega corporation to keep their products they continue to sell, up to date? ### 1/5 — Fun game but terrible controls. *2022-01-09, version 1.0.6* I'm a huge VP fan and was hoping to relive the game but the controls simply do not function properly. In a game where precise positioning and jumping is required, unresponsive controls is the worst thing that can happen. Save yourself a lot of frustration by not purchasing this app. Got through the game because I could thankfully save in-between jumps and retake them, but in the seraphic gate, that's not even possible. ### 1/5 — Big time buyer’s remorse *2021-12-22* This was my favorite game for the PS1 period so when I saw it in iOS there was no question, I had to buy it. I thought to myself the touch controls couldn’t be THAT bad and my sweet summer child they were WORSE than I could imagine. What passes for a D-Pad doesn’t work with any precision what so ever. The game is practically broken and unplayable. I am an idiot. I bought the game and the add-ons without hesitating because I loved the PS1 game so much. Now I regret doing that. Why can’t they just re-release the game on the PlayStation store or Steam with proper controller support? DO NOT BUY this touchscreen version of this game. ### 1/5 — Please Chinese *2021-12-02, version 1.0.6* Chinese please ### 1/5 — No Audio *2021-06-30, version 1.0.6* The game is broken. There’s no audio. In addition, there’s no controller support. Do not buy it. ### 1/5 — Technically unbeatable. Literally. *2021-02-02, version 1.0.5* The game play with touch screen can be hard throughout the game, but is only annoying. Until you reach the final area of the game. There is a section in the final dungeon where you must obtain the flames of purgatory and quickly run to a different room before the flame goes out. After over a hundred attempts I’ve concluded that it is impossible to accomplish this with the touch screen controls. After a battle is concluded u cannot immediately start running with the touch screen controls, there is always a delay, and even if everything else is done perfectly, the two delays after each unavoidable battle is just long enough to make proceeding past this point impossible. And incredible oversight on the developers part on this one. They have released a defective product due to a lack of proper game testing to make sure the game is able to be beaten with the touch screen controls. Do not buy this game. You cannot complete it. A very disappointing waste of time too when you consider it’s beatable until you are very close to the end of the game. Just broken. ### 1/5 — Poor porting *2020-11-30, version 1.0.5* No way to skip text and they roll insanely slow. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Controller support *2024-03-23* Finally, after several years, controller support has been added. (Xbox series X/S controller) With this added, the harder platforming portions of the game can now be played without the frustration. I’ve forgotten so much from this game. Mainly, voice acting has come a LONG WAY from what was passable in the PS1 era.😆 Valkyrie Profile might be dated by today’s standards, but this was one of the best in its era. ### 5/5 — Support old style games *2024-02-18* I have been sick for new mobile games: pay to win, endless ads, and the worst part is the whole game is not for fun, but luring you to in-game purchases. Therefore I am getting away from free games, and moving back to expensive old titles, whose is designed for fun at the very first place ### 5/5 — Great Value *2023-10-17* This game does offer controller support, I use my 8bitdo zero 2 Bluetooth keychain mini controller. So much fun to play during the day especially during downtime at work. I’m hesitant to bring my Nintendo switch to work to obvious that I’m playing games do mobile gaming with a compatible controller is great especially with my favorite Square Enix titles. Story is great so far and graphics are beautifully nostalgic, turn based battles are fast and unique while playing like a Metroid style side scroller give it a try well worth the price, thanks square enix ### 5/5 — Much to say *2023-07-05* My first heartbreak 2 years ago was easier than doing the Tombs of Amenti dungeon on my iphone in chapter 7, which is giving me a harder time than God or Yoshiharu Gotanda intended. I think this transposition from Playstation to touchscreen phone has been done fairly, given the absence of a built-in controller; the really important thing to me is that the music and visuals are high quality. Motoi Sakuraba did incredible musical work. I will try to connect a dual shock controller to my phone via USB and I’ll update this review if it works or not. I play the English dub version, but I would really really appreciate access to the Japanese dub. I understand that much of the wording and even some of the plot points were changed in translation, but nevertheless it would be interesting. I appreciate the voice acting of the English cast, particularly Maddie Blaustein’s work, and yet I know it’s possible to play with English text and have the original voice cast audio… if you are willing to make that happen it would mean the world! This will always be my favorite game so please honor the artistic vision and make it possible for us to appreciate it. ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2022-05-03* The only reason why I gave this company my money, is because I saw the trailer for elysium and that brought me here after 15 yrs. I didn’t even know this was a mobile game! Let’s hope with elysium they add lenneth as a combo with both games. ### 5/5 — Almost perfect *2022-04-21, version 1.0.6* 5 stars if you guys add full screen support ### 5/5 — Will forever love this game and hoping for a remake *2021-08-10* I’ve finished this game so many times I can’t even count. The story, characters, literally everything is just perfect. Played from my PSP a decade ago and now playing on my phone. I only wish there’s a remake soon ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2021-03-06, version 1.0.6* I’m glad this game have a ios version, but pls add a option to choose japanese voice! ### 5/5 — BEST GAME OF THE CENTURY!! *2019-09-29, version 1.0.5* This classic game is now on mobile?! That is crazy. This game is insane as it is, and to have it in my pocket ! Brings back old memories and it is an amazing game. I recommend it as a gamer! Any RPG game fans ? ... this is your game. Love Valkyrie Profile! ### 5/5 — A game worth replaying *2019-05-09, version 1.0.5* One of my all time favorite games. Choices matter. I like seeing the best outcomes for my soldiers. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
