Amazing Game. Idk why they didnt release this on pc sooner. Reasons to get this game: -Fans of the Battalion Wars games may enjoy the artstyle of the game. Although the gameplay is very different. -Amazing, hand drawn art. -Good music -Great, although cliche story -Customizable armies -Challenging, but fair missions -Old game, but has aged well -great quality for a playstation port -English voiceacting is so cheesy its kinda funny -Japanese voiceacting is well done Reasons to NOT get this game: -The game is very anime-ey, if you're bothered by "why is this girl wearing pigtails and not a helmet" you are gonna have a bad time. -If you don't enjoy the story, or long cutscenes, you will literally be skipping half the game. -The tank driving controls are really awkward to get used to, and even then, bug out sometimes. -The fps can rise or drop really weirdly and dramatically. Since this is mostly turn based strategy it isnt that much of an issue, but still -The game can get bs difficulty spikes at some point(s) (you all know which point) Overall, I give it a 9/10. It has some weird quirks, sure. But a really uniquely beautiful, powerful game.
I have played this game fully several times on the PS3 and feel it is one of the best turn-based, strategy RPGs of the last generation. This game is a must own. They have included full 16:9 resolution support (up to at least 4k I believe), japanese voices and monitor refresh rate matching FPS. Unfortunately the videos are PS3 quality but that is a small complaint for an amazing game. The story is based in an alternate history 1930's Europe where a mineral called ragnite is used to power vehicles and other items. You are members of the militia of the small, neutral country Gallia which is rich with ragnite and sandwiched between 2 superpowers. You are forced to defend and try to reclaim your country after one of these superpowers invades Gallia for its ragnite. The story is told through cell shaded cut scenes and missions and advances beyond this basic plot as time goes on. At the start of each mission you pick and place your team on the map and then are provided with command points at the start of each turn which allow you to take direct control of your units. You then move them throughout the map to achive your mission. The mix of strategy and third person controls works very well. Buy if you would like to see VC2 and VC3 (VC3 unfortunately has never had and english release) come to PC. 9/10
Valkyria Chronicles is a familiar, yet unique, turn-based strategy game. It's similar to other turn-based strategy games where you have access to a map that allows you to view and select different units. But it's unique because when you select a unit, you have to manually move and aim shots for that unit from a 3rd person perspective. Valkyria Chronicles is also a modern JRPG with a rich story that features full-animation with life-sized characters and voice acting. We need more games like this!
