From LightningBolt18:
omg! i love it. it brings a whole new meaning to angela's line. now i can't play her without thinking about this. great job and i hope you guys make more
From Mátyás Varga:
Wow! This was beautyful! The scene at 4:50 was extremely good! My absolute favourite part was that! Also you made me feel, and hate you (nah, I love you). I'll be looking forward for more shorts like this. Thank you for making this amazing short film.
Some criticisms of the fanfilm were that the costumes could be jarring, and that the German pronunciation was hard to understand. The fanfilm also deviated from canon, suggesting that Angela's father was the one that invented the valkyrie suit, whereas in canon that was entirely Angela's doing.
The fanfilm also gained attention from news outlets such as PVP Live[2] and Mashable.[3]
