When the country of Valentine is obliterated by the power of an ancient artifact, it sparks a bloody war between the fairies of Ringford and the warriors of Ragnanival. Little do they know that they are acting out an almost-forgotten prophecy: one that, if fulfilled, will lead to the destruction of the entire world. Take control of the warrior princess Gwendolyn, daughter of Odin, and follow the threads of an intricately woven story as you uncover the truth behind the prophecy - and how to bring it to an end.

This game is phenominal in my opinion. This game has beautiful graphic and art. The gameplay is pretty decent where all the characters are pretty well done. The inventory is annoying and there are slowdowns, which means this should've been on Xbox 360 or Ps3 to play at perfect speed all the time. The slow down isn't that bad though. It only happens during parts of the game that has lost of things on screen.
The inventory on the other hand is annoying at best. I've accidently planted seeds and drop items more than enough time. You can get used to it but its still not a good system.
Aside from those 2 faults, its a really good game. The difficulty is pretty hard for a first time play but after you get used to it its not too bad. Though I've never tried different difficulty myself, I hear that the different difficulty just changes how fast you lvl up and that is a bad implementation.
