Critic Reviews for The Valiant
The Valiant is a serviceable, squad-based RTS with a sturdy story, but it’s bogged down by backtrack-heavy battles and a bad final boss fight.
On PS5, The Valiant is just as playable and enjoyable as on PC, even if it's not quite as good-looking.
The Valiant is still a solid, compelling and, above all, enjoyable tactical strategy game that comes highly recommended for fans of Medieval action.
Generally, The Valliant on consoles is a success. Controls make sense and don’t inhibit the flow. Whatever issues there are lie in the core of the game. A lack of mechanical originality and some repetitive or frustrating missions are offset by a decent story and acting. It’s also refreshing to play a unit-based RTS game that isn’t set in WW2 or a sci-fi world.
The Valiant is a decent enough game. It most likely won't amaze you, especially if you've played other small-scale RTS games before, but its campaign is the right amount . And if you've liked Dawn of War 2 in the past, you'll feel right at home.

The Valiant is an RTS that doesn't invent anything new. It does not present a great novelty in the genre and the feeling it leaves is that we have already seen everything in other titles. It is true that constantly innovating is complicated, we do not deny it, but there is always some element or something that stands out, which we do not find in this title.

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.

Overall, The Valiant offers an engaging strategy experience that, while not offering anything ground-breaking, will keep RTS fans entertained. While the single-player campaign is presented in a traditional run-of-the-mill format, its multiplayer modes are sure to delight both old and new strategy fans. For that reason alone, the game is worth picking up.
