Holy Valkyrie Exs-Tia 3

About

Holy Valkyrie Exs-Tia 3 follows Marina Katsuragi as she reverts to her ExS-TIA form to battle a resurgence of monsters. The single-player campaign blends fast melee combat with ranged attacks in a straightforward action loop. Players navigate linear levels filled with waves of enemies, using a mix of dodge rolls and charged strikes to clear paths. The story unfolds through brief cutscenes and dialogue, focusing on Marina's resolve to stop the creatures from overwhelming the world again. Developed by Lusterise, known for their visual novels and anime-inspired stories, the game leans into flashy attack animations and a dramatic soundtrack. While the combat lacks depth, its simplicity and over-the-top style have earned it a niche following. A 2023 poll on AnimeAction forums saw 68% of voters call it "a guilty pleasure," praising its unapologetic cheesiness and rapid pacing.
