Valkyria Chronicles™

A great mix of visual novel and turn-based strategy game with a twist, topped off with a unique and charming art style. The game does a great job of portraying a war, your actions and consequences in it, all while integrating your own squads’ development alongside the bigger picture. Your soldiers, other than the main cast, get their own codex-like entries as you play and can die permanently if you aren’t careful, adding to the weight of your combat decisions. Each soldier is unique with their own personality that affects their own abilities as well as when working with other soldiers. This, packaged with a 3rd person perspective, adds a nice change to the turn-based genre. Pros Great story, art, soundtracks, voice acting, a likeable cast, a unique twist on turn-based combat, real options with customisation and upgrading, great missions and opportunities to use unconventional tactics. Marina has yet to miss a headshot! Cons Can be a bit fuzzy on higher resolutions but you get used to it, UI is clunky, tank movement is clunky, some audio bugs if you play too long, auto mantle can get you killed (better to be aware around climbable objects), some inconsistent difficulty in later missions which end up being more of a puzzle to solve rather than being tactical, ranking system is terrible so ignore it and play the way you want, you can always grind experience if you feel under levelled. Overall, a unique game in the genre that is worth playing through for the story and solid gameplay. DLCs are included in the bundle and offer more content and weapons to add to the experience. Some tips would be to check guides if you get stuck on certain missions, be aware of sandbags, they are your greatest enemy, keep deploying your main cast for extra CP, and be aware that objectives can change mid-mission. Cheese the enemy spawn system for difficult missions. I hope that SEGA ports the remaining games for PC.

It's fun. It will probably run on a toaster, although if you have to choose between this and 4. I'd say, get 4.

I played a demo for this game on the PS3 about 10 years ago and it stuck with me so much I finally played it in 2025, and it holds up. The strategy game play is great, the story is solid enough, and the visuals are at least good enough I think. Definitely worth it

Valkyria chronicles is a long time favourite of mine, a neat anime style ww2 like strategy action game, with a great art style and unique combat strategy gameplay. It's a bit long and there's a lot of depth to getting the higher scores, but it's a game I like going back to every now and then. There isn't much like it, and it still hold up quite well to this day. There's a few bugs and glitches throughout and I had it crash on me more than I liked, but overall it was flawless. It's a bit of a shame that VC 2 and 3 aren't off the vita, but VC4 is a fantastic sequel that really builds on this one if you wanted more of it after!

Valkyria Chronicles has one of the best war stories I’ve ever experienced in a game. The characters feel alive. Everyone is fleshed out with distinct personalities, making it hard to imagine losing any of them in battle. That emotional weight adds to the tension, and the campaign itself is beautifully written and engaging from start to finish. Gameplay-wise, it’s a mix of tactical depth and just enough RNG to keep you on your toes. Once you discover your perfect team composition and buff combos, the game can become a bit of a cakewalk, but that doesn’t take away from the fun. In fact, it makes experimenting with different strategies all the more satisfying. If there’s one downside, it’s that only a handful of characters get meaningful story arcs. With such a colorful cast full of charm and personality, it feels like a missed opportunity not to explore them more deeply. Even so, Valkyria Chronicles holds a very special place in my heart. Later entries balance the gameplay better, but this first one remains unforgettable for its story, atmosphere, and the bond you form with its squad of soldiers.

A damn masterpiece for as long as it's the only game you can play. If it was the only title I had on a PS3 back in 2008 I'd love it, I'd replay the hell out of it, I'd think about it at school and strategize the hell out of it. Unfortunately, back in 2008 I was obsessive about Tibia, not this, and I can only imagine how much more fun I could be having rn. If you take your time and experiment instead of searching for a cheese solution for every level - bravo. Me on the other hand - I tried that, got bored, returned 2 years later and maxxed Alicia to steamroll the rest of the game. PS. I wish the story was a bit darker at times, like Muv-Luv. I liked the ending but the war itself wasn't tragic enough. Also, Japanese > English dub.
