VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Valkyrie: The Fall [v1.00] [Tjord]

This is my first review and I felt like it was important to leave here. As a fan of the series I can confidently say that this was the worst yet, however it was not bad it just lacked some of the things that I felt were essential to the series. That issue being that there is no antagonist actively working in the background but rather it is essentially dumb luck that they get corrupted. It really felt like a switch from dueling masterminds of past games to 4 idiots fumbling around in a jungle falling to bad luck and worse decisions. I think it is reasonable to say the corruption only happened because of the horrible leadership of a supposedly infallible authority figure. And I know that it was implied that it was at least set up but still the lack of a direct antagonist to lead the corruption was a massive disappointment.

Apart from my main gripe there were several minor issues I had. The use of AI is extremely disappointing to me and was very noticeable and immersion breaking several times. I understand that it saves time and helps give form to the story but I do not support the use of ai in artistic media and in my opinion I would rather it be omitted as it is usually a deal breaker for me.

My last issue is that the final corruption forms were underwhelming in my opinion compared to the last games, and while I did actually really like the slower progression I feel like it could have gone further.

I know I talked about a lot of things I didn't like but that is hopefully to show that I am passionate about the series or maybe just other Tjord games. There were also things that I do think were great about this game. Like I mentioned before the slower corruption was amazing and I much prefer the gradual changes to the instant ones that the series uses. Another thing is that the scenes themself were well done and I really liked the animations.

Overall I am very disappointed but I want to show my support and give some criticisms hopefully in a constructive way.

Is this some kind of sick joke ?
Flag this as VN for christ's sake. Because that what it is, nothing more than a boring VN with little to no choice. hours of reading for so little h-scenes...

Even worse that the game recommend you to try the "normal route" first instead of the full one, as this has barely any erotic content.

Maybe it's my fault for going in blind and not getting informed about what type of game this was (and the previous episodes), but damn it was a terrible waste of time.

If you're like me and consider VN as being the most boring type of porn game, then avoid this series because it's the boringest of them all.

Another notch in the Tjord belt. If you've been a fan of this devs games, you know what to expect and it is very much delivered on. Corruption, psuedo-bimbofication and a call back to earlier games in this would be trilogy.

If you like bimbofication and corruption this game is for you. Tjord does some of the best bimbofication there is.

If you are turned off by free use, BBC, or story heavy visual novels, skip this game.

Things to know:
•This game is mostly a visual novel with only a couple of choices.
•There are two endings that I know of.
•I would recommend playing the other tales in this series first.
•New for this series the game is told from a female perspective.
•Has a strong BBC theme
•There is a big free use component to this one, unlike the harem focus of previous games.

If you like this one, check out all of Tjord's the fall series. I would rank them as follows:
Valdana: The Fall (best)
Isis: The Fall
Valkyrie: The Fall
Valdana - Season 2/DLC/Alternate path

Powerful, independent women being gradually transformed into submissive, mindless sex slaves—this is Tjord at his finest.

The third installment of the The Fall series is also the most unique. First, the shift in point of view from the male antagonist to one of the subjected women offers a refreshing change. Second, the absence of a central villain and the departure from the usual sci-fi tropes—such as machines, injections, and nano machines—to a more "archaic" one. To me, this demonstrates Tjord’s growth as an author, stepping outside his comfort zone to explore new ways of creating a corruption and mind-control story.

I also believe that this change of structure paid off well. First, it felt like a breath of fresh air. While I don’t mind the typical "machine -> machine -> corrupted" sequence, this shift in scenario piqued my curiosity and kept me more engaged with the story. Second, focusing the plot around a tracking mission rather than a political coup or crew manipulation, as seen in previous entries, simplified the narrative. This, in turn, gave Tjord more space to explore the world-building and provide context for the events unfolding parallel to the main storyline.

I was particularly a fan of the smaller cast of characters this time around. It gave Tjord more room to flesh out the transformations and explore the relationships between the women in detail. The more nuanced visual cues in their transformations were another highlight. . With fewer characters, it was possible (or at least easier) to have more sprites detailing each step of the body modifications, rather than relying solely on a "before and after corruption" sprite. If future entries in the series are planned, I’d love for this approach to continue.

And, of course, the transformations themselves were incredibly hot—not just the final results, but the process too. This time, Tjord added more detail about how the transformations negatively impacted the mission. (Who would’ve thought that suddenly needing to carry two massive "blobs of fat" measuring over 120 cm of chest would make a soldier less athletic?) This was a notable improvement over earlier entries, where the changes often went unnoticed by other characters. As for the final transformations—well, they delivered exactly what one would hope for in a good bimbofication story .

Initially, I thought this would be the last installment of the series, but I believe there’s still room to further explore The Fall universe. For me, this sentiment comes from the lack of Neo-Terran presence in this entry. While I understand Tjord likely chose this to change the focus away from a specific evil character, I’d love to see how the events of the previous installments have impacted the intergalactic power balance. So far, the Alliance has lost two of its major squads and an entire strategic solar system. Surely, these losses have hindered them significantly. A final installment showcasing a grand Neo-Terran victory and the aftermath—where their male dominant ideology reshapes the galaxy—could be nice to see!

As always, I’m deeply thankful to Tjord for creating quality, compelling, and finished novels—something that’s becoming increasingly rare on this site. I’m eagerly looking forward to whatever he produces next .

tjord You've gotten really good at this. The first playthrough is delightfully suspenseful, and the second playthrough is some solid payoff for the player's patience. Also the most fun your split endings have ever been. When the first Isis background showed up... Man!

Definitely the weakest game of the series so far. The story was actually stupid and all the girls get corrupted way too easily. At least in other games it's a game of chess between the heroines and the mc. The transformation are definitely worst of all 3 games. Only good part of the game is the alliance ending with the first mc

The game is pretty good, but has a major flaw.

Pros:
- Good corruption and sex scenes, like the developer's previous two games
- New story structure compared to the previous 2 games, a welcome change and well executed.
- Good writing overall

Cons:
- Animated sex scenes are relatively low resolution, the switch is quite noticeable
- No gallery as of yet, usually the developer adds them later
- Heavy, heavy use of racist themes and tropes. I get the developer is going for a specific porn trope about the "savage black tribesmen", and while the in universe rationale for how it got to the situation is sound, it's still the author intentionally using racist tropes. The sound in universe explanation also clashes with how the characters seem to go in with a very racist attitude from the get go, despite that not really making sense with their backgrounds or how the Alliance operates.

If you can tolerate the racist tropes I think it's overall a good game.

Game is straight up fire, had such a blast playing it! Finally some primal corruption content, and the thicc mao is just INSANE, Chef's kiss x2 .

as expected from Tjord, the story, the spicy stuff is very good. But the one that really stood out is the atmosphere and pacing, it simply pulls you in immediately and doesn’t let go. The tension builds so naturally.

Tjord, you’ve done it again, my dude. Another banger for the books. Keep ‘em coming!

A really good game. Well written plot, really good amount of history and even better if you played the other games that add more immersion. The graphics are good, the characters are well made, the music and sounds are okay. Specially, I loved the endings that made sense with the game. Congrats to Tjord.

The plot in general is pretty lack luster, the majority of it feels like they creator was just trying to fill a word count, the scenes are alright, but the AI CG still isn't anywhere near as good as actual hand made stuff, my other big gripe is this not being marked as a visual novel, it says you have multiple endings but its more like 2 total. Overall its a game that I pretty much wasted 40 minutes of my life on. not super great.

IIIIIi! -mataru (lol). Tribe language wise it's well understandable btw, great use of LLM if you did .

This game is so great I enjoyed it a lot :3, feels like an NTR + corruption + psychological horror game but without the feeling of becoming a cuck due to FMC. Story is great as usual, great world and character building, though I felt like there is an unexplored path/opportunity with the ensign (probable budding relationship with Andrea but somehow cut short).

Sex scene and transformation is very well done, I liked mao the most. Feels like It was a scene out of A24.

Well done Tjord.

A change in perspective from previous games. You play as FMC, one of the group to be corrupted. This adds a nice feeling of mystery, wondering who already got corrupted, what is happening when a party member leaves and returns "ruffled" etc. Really recommend the FMC pov only playthrough first.

While the final form wasnt that up to my liking, I still liked the tribal setting, since it contrasts nicely with the high tech arrogant squad members.

Anyways, from my side a very welcome change that made me pay attention throughout the whole game. Paying attention to "signals" of corruption on team members. Hoping the dev doesnt forsake it when people have a kneejerk reaction to change. Stagnant waters fester, change is good.
