Valkyria Chronicles™ Reviews

Pretty fun game story is well ok it was made in 2008. gameplay took a lot of rage quits to get good at and there is a lot content very solid game would recommend getting it on sale for like 5 bucks

+ Compelling story and lovely artstyle + Turn based action shooting go brrrr + Ragdolls are funny as heck - Clunky to move sometimes, but great nonetheless

Great gameplay, even better story.

While Valkyria Chronicles doesn't have the customization of Final Fantasy Tactics, it maks up for it in story. while it is very thinly disguised WW2 plot,the characters do make you feel like your in a war setting. A certain character's death is felt throught the story.

This series has some weird/unique flaws, but it's fairly unique and I like dis series. Pretty clunky and trial & error usually, but thaz just the way it iz. SAVE SCUM SAVE SCUM SAVE SCUM!!! Beheheh.

The clunky gameplay and especially the infuriatingly slow and unresponsive GUI really are the biggest shortcomings. If you can overlook them, there will be interesting mechanics, unique worldbuilding, very pretty visuals and a moving story waiting for you as a reward.

This is a fun game. I like the characters and story, and the overall gameplay is solid. It's like solving a puzzle X-COM style, except it's more trial and error. The only thing to keep in mind is that you will be forced to save-scum a lot because all your attacks have a percentage chance to land (to make it realistic I guess), and completing the missions without casualties and best ranking requires your attacks to hit.

Ignore cry babies in review, this game is a gem, especially for how old it is. The story is quite easy if you know what to do and where to position your units.

I don't really write reviews; nor write in general, but this game is so good I had to at least say something. Around 10ish years ago, another game I played called World of Tanks had a cross-over with Valkryia Chronicles. I was a little kid at the time and didn't know what it was nor did I really care all that much. Fast forward to today, I saw it on sale while looking for a new story game to play, I remembered about the cross-over with World of Tanks and thought I'd give it a shot. I was so happy I did, first of; The artstyle in this game is absolutely amazing. I've actually never played a game with watercolor artstyle before and I can say for certain that it is one of the coolest looking aspects of this game. The Story is not hard to start following along at all while still peaking your interest. The Characters are unbelievably charming. I instantly fell in love with the main cast and not to mention there's so many different characters you can actually choose to have on your team with each their own unique personality making you want to try even harder to make sure they survive :). The Villains are also well written that I feel its almost Impossible to dislike even one of them even though you are opposing them. The gameplay is literally like nothing I've ever played before. I love strategy games but most of the ones I've played have just been top views nothing else. Going from a top view into a 3rd person shooter actually surprised me quite a bit when I first started playing since I literally did 0 research before hand. It makes the game feel all the more interactive being able to fully take control of every unit you have. My only real complaint that I do have about this game is simply do to the fact that the game is old, The gameplay can feel a little bit clunky sometimes but that did not stop me from having one of my favorite story game experiences. Theres also a certain mission that I've seen multiple people mention in the reviews... yeeeaahhhh that one to. not fun. good luck. Overall this game holds up greatly even today. While I got it on sale; not knowing how good this game is and how much fun I was going to have with it. I would have bought it at full price. :)

I think VC 1 is a pretty damn good game. It's art style is lovely, it's plot has some very emotional moments and is simple enough for the average JRPG player but also layered enough for more deeper RPG players too, and it's strategic battle can be a lot of fun. There's no doubt that the battle system is quite unique and works well too. There's a lot to like here. But, it can miss a bit too. Firstly, there are battles which just aren't that well thought out, some of which require you to meet specific conditions to win, but which sometimes aren't all that clear, so can drag on. Secondly, it's a very easy game with no Harder settings to start with, always a downer in games. But the real problem I had was with the fact that this PC port is sloppy in certain areas, specifically the tank controls. The tank controls horridly here, and my advice is to drop the mouse all together, and use the numerical keys in conjunction with the WASD ones to control them. Gripes aside, VC1 is still a fun game worth playing for strategy JRPG lovers. But I'll definitely be playing my PS4 version ahead of this next time I play.
