Reviews for Valkyrie 17 (#7154)

Review by Alessandro Grussu on 07 Jul 2014 (Rating: 5)

This is a really atmospheric adventure where you take the role of a secret agent who's just been informed that Valkyrie 17, a Nazi super-weapon which was thought to be lost after the end of the war, has been completed and now it could be used to threaten our world's already unstable peace.

The game comes with some extra material which - in a fashion reminding of Infocom adventures - should involve you deeper with the game: interrogation transcript, audio messages left on your character's answering machine and so on.

Location description are reasonably detailed and come with clean if pretty basic graphics. The parser is well implemented and lets you enter rather complex sentences in plain English. Difficulty is pretty high - sometimes it is easy to get killed if you do not follow a certain set of actions as closely as possible.

Anyway, Valkyrie 17 is a finely crafted adventure and should appeal to all fans of interactive fiction.

Immersive and enjoyable text adventure pivoted on a spy story, one of the best I've played actually.
