"The one packaged by Kite Games is a formula full of proposals, appreciable by admirers of real-time strategy, especially in a medieval setting, which however would certainly have benefited from further study and care."

""The Valiant" give players hungry for a squad-based RTS something new to chew on. Its aesthetics are in the right place but certain design choices may frustrate even fans of the genre."

"The Valiant is a standard RTS and an above-average videogame. The visuals are spectacular, the gameplay is textbook, but the audio could have had some more tweaking."

"If you&s;re looking for a new RTS and don&s;t have high expectations, you can spend your time here with an extensive campaign. Multiplayer doesn&s;t have enough players and it hardly gets any better."

"The Valiant&s;s story is actually pretty interesting, but the gameplay (one of the core aspects of strategy titles) is just very middling. Unit issues like pathing and not all of them fighting, the fact that there&s;s not much to really …"
