"Futuristic hentai sexdolls with guns for arms"My main complaint about these "Valkyries" is that they simply have nothing to do with Iron Maiden. Some dev in some post claimed they were inspired by The Longest Day, which is a song about the invasion of Omaha Beach during World War II. This song does briefly mention the Valkyries, but not in a literal sense. Valkyries were Norse goddesses that decided who would die in battle and who would live. The lyrics of The Longest Day:
"Valhalla waits, valkyries rise and fall
The warrior tombs, lie open for us all"
refer to the sense of impending doom that the Allied soldiers felt as their small boats approached the shore, with soldiers dying before they even had a chance to get out of the boats. The mention of "Valkyries" was merely a metaphor for the seemingly arbitrary mass of death during that battle. There were no actual Valkyries at D-day, and Iron Maiden's reference to Valkyries in this song was purely metaphorical and did not at all imply there were actual goddesses on the battlefield deciding who would live and who would die. The devs just shoe-horned these characters into the game with no regard for Iron Maiden lore or literature.
On top of the fact that the characters themselves, being futuristic hentai sexdolls with guns for arms, do not remotely resemble the actual Valkyries of Norse mythology, they make absolutely no sense in this game which is supposed to be based on Iron Maiden's songs. And being that they do basically look like hentai sexdolls, their presence detracts from what could potentially be a great game. Adding these characters was a mistake in every possible way.
