What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Overall the scenarios depicted in the story, reactions, and events are believable, and the whole thing is pretty enjoyable to watch unfold and follow.
As far as the base formula goes, this title proposes the same excellent gameplay of VC1, but expanded in several ways that make it interesting and refreshing even for returning players, and surely great for newcomers.
Combat is quite strategic and deep: mechanics such as interception fire, cover, group movement, commander orders, armor penetration, critical hits and more all present and fundamental to success.
Well designed and diverse roster of characters to fill your platoon, and with more personality thanks to the addition of squad stories.
Excellent cel-shading graphics resembling much a comic, with also good art style of models, environments and cutscenes.
Valkyria Chronicles is a turn-based tactics RPG set in an alternate reality WW2-esque setting, featuring a unique, hybrid take on gameplay and combat, a standout aesthetic/visual style, an engaging story with a good variety of missions, a large cast of fun characters of varying quality with a decent amount of playstyles and synergies, and a great OST.
