Prices
The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.71/day in the week to Aug 21 → 1.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
A Continent Engulfed in the Bitter Flames of War!
Valkyria Chronicles 4 takes place in the same timeframe as the original Valkyria Chronicles, but with an all-new story focusing on Squad E of the Federation. Commander Claude Wallace and his childhood friends set out to fight in a desperate war, but bone-chilling blizzards, waves of imperial soldiers, and the godlike powers of the Valkyria stand between them and victory.
The BLiTZ Battle System and the CANVAS Graphic Engine return!
A Coming-of-Age Story in a Time of War
Take command of the determined, young Commander Claude Wallace, engineer/heavy weapons extraordinaire Riley Miller, hot-headed Darcsen Raz, ice-cold ace sniper Kai Schulen, and more. Together, they will experience the painful realities of war — but will the bonds of Squad E's friendships survive the frozen battlefield?
The Next Generation ""BLiTZ"" Battle System
Part overhead turn-based strategy, part RPG, and part real-time 3rd person shooter, the "BLiTZ" battle system returns to the field. New features include an explosive new class called the Grenadier, numerous offensive/defensive battleship support options, chances for a unit to have a "Last Stand" action before death, and more. Plus, fight the imperial threat with more units on larger-scale maps than ever before.
CANVAS Aesthetics
The series' signature hand-drawn visual style is back and overhauled for the newest generation. Inspired by watercolour compositions, the CANVAS Graphics Engine blends visual elements of reality and imagination to create an expressive world filled with colourful emotions. Watch the journey of Squad E unfold like an interactive painting!

This is not a tactics-based game. This is a LINEAR PUZZLE GAME disguised as a tactics game. Half of the optimal strategies for maps involve dashing from spawn to the victory flag. The score system is centered around 'speedrunning,' in which ideal scores involve plays that finish up a level in the fewest turns possible. Enemy AI is likewise predictable. You're not devising a dynamic, adapted response in combat scenarios. You're trying to emulate the speediest plays that have been predetermined by the developers.
We are long overdue for a Valkyria Chronicles 5 that builds on this game's formula. Even in 2025 I still find myself coming back to play this occasionally because of the experience it offers. The gameplay is fun, The Characters are interesting, the music is fitting. Until we get 5, Grab this one.

The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Aug 18: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

Of the mainline Valkyria Chronicles games, VC4 is by far my favorite one. VC1 is a classic, but also very simple gameplay-wise. Especially considering scouts are so over powered. I actually recommend watching the anime adaptation of VC1 over playing the game as the anime gives the characters so much more depth. VC2 is the worst of the mainline games by a wide margin. Very odd choice to make a PSP sequel to a PS3 game. Overall its very generic, even having a school setting. It is the only game in the series to NOT take place during the Second Europan War. VC3 is the darkest of the 4 games. You play as the Gallian black ops which are made up of condemned criminals basically being forced to go on suicide missions. It shows Gallia in a very different light. Unfortunately its the only game to not have an English release, so you have to emulate it with the fan translation patch. VC4 is the most well written of the games in terms of characters. The added gameplay mechanics and larger scale battles really do wonders cause this is the first time we are actually playing on the front line of this war. Its the longest of the 4 games and has an admittedly slow start, but once it gets going, its non-stop enjoyment.

Loved the first game. Was really enjoying this one in 2019 and 2024 but never finished it. Now I return to the game crashing to desktop before the loading screen. Had to find a discussion post explaining that the last update made the game crash if you had steam controller support on. Fixed that and the game crashes during mission gameplay. Sadly, a game this old isn't very likely to get any further updates so I'm not SOL on ever finishing it. Definitely not happy about that.
友军是拿了德三剧本的盟军,敌军是拿了德三装备的沙皇,主角团唯一能赢的原因是因为主角一伙人全是绿皮转世,论证如下: 1. 主角有俺寻思之力,几乎每次战斗前都会高喊:俺寻思俺们正义又强大,俺们的坦克劲且霸,俺们一定赢到麻!然后帝国军就开始犯下匪夷所思的致命错误,主角团就开始赢赢赢; 2. 主角团喜欢waaagh。有埋伏?冲!有工事?冲!被包围了?冲!没补给了?冲!从联盟到帝都,猪突猛进的战术一再被主角团成功运用着,足以证明主角团是最大最waaagh的绿皮战帮; 3. 主角团全员都是灵能者,主角可以使用他那又大又waaagh的大脑通过绿皮灵能给队员们上waaagh力场,实现诸如100%闪避或者100%命中的神迹; 4. 主角是大技霸,每当他遇上更劲更霸的帝国装备,他就可以寻思出各种各样的改装模组,通过往坦克上贴各种又劲又霸的铁皮,让他的小坦克比帝国装备还要劲还要霸; 5. 主角的女友也是大技霸,时不时通过俺寻思之力让炮管里凭空多出一发炮弹,并且成功寻思出了反坦克迫击炮这种人类豆芽根本无法理解的武器; 6. 主角团都是垃圾佬,可以通过击败帝国精英来缴获并学会使用帝国武器,并且越古老的帝国武器用起来越强大; 7. 主角团认为任何涂成红色的东西都更强,所有的帝国军只要涂上红色涂装都会更劲更霸,吸引主角团的小子们狠狠射击。
Not an outright rejection, but on balance I spend more time annoyed than I do enjoying it. There is a lot of good here. Investing in unit improvements, getting that crucial shot with a sniper, having a plan fail but finding a way out of the mess you make. Some good fun to be had. Puzzle mixed with strategy. But then every so often the enemy nonsense gets too much. A pile of enemies appear out of thin air. Gameplay rules are established only for the enemy to get a cheat of the rule minutes later. Enemy bosses reach sarcastic levels of unkillable and unfair. A tough battle becomes a waste of time as more and more disadvantages are piled on. In the hopes of making it more fun I levelled my soldiers to crazy heights so I could at least have fun being ludicrously overpowered. But still the enemy nonsense sucks the fun from it. Again and again it is obvious the AI could wipe your whole team if it wanted to, but has been programmed to do stupid things to create the possibility of you winning. So with the option of a yes or a no, I lean no.
ゲーム自体は基本は面白く、シリーズでおなじみの一般兵士たちにも小さいながらも個性とストーリーがあり、自分の好きなキャラだけで進行するもよし、すべてのキャラを使用してコンプリートするもよしです。 (自分はヒロインのレイリィとか、どこか憎めないジェスターさん、THE天使・ニコちゃんが好きです) ただ、古いゲームらしくADV等の会話回りやUIのストレスの高さが目立ちます。 ---- ここからが問題なのですが、Windowsマシン上では起動すらしなくなるケースが報告されていて、再インストール等の一般的な方法で改善しないこともいくつか報告されています。 (自分の環境でも同様の状態に一時期なりました) これはゲームとしては結構つらい問題なので、素直におススメできない理由にもなっています・・・。 以下にいくつかの解決方法を残しておきます。 (1)Windowsの設定をいくつか見直す方法 https://www.reddit.com/r/valkyria/comments/a0bkj1/steam_version_crash_on_launch_valkyria_chronicles/?tl=ja (2)コントローラの設定を見直す Steam入力が有効になっている場合、起動時にクラッシュする場合があるようです。 自分の環境ではこれを無効にしたところ、正常に機能するようになりました。 (コメントで教えてくれた jackpocket03 さん、本当にありがとう!) (3)Steam Deckで遊ぶ Steam Deckでも遊んでいますが、今のところはクラッシュは発生していません。 (もしかしたら、こちらもSteam入力を有効にするとクラッシュするのかも・・・?試したくないですがw) 以下、クラッシュに遭遇した自分の環境を参考程度に。 CPU:Core Ultra 7 265KF GPU:GeForce 5070Ti(Driver Ver 581.80)
Pretty nice game. It's held back by its ranking system, though. If you want to get higher ranks, you need to finish missions in the fewest turns possible. That means that you have to rush objectives while ignoring most enemies. Not particularly fun :C
Pros and cons are down below) If you want to see a (spoiler free) video review, this game is the 3d (out of 3) that I discuss: https://youtu.be/zMQY_676fFM Pros: 1. One of the best games ever, on god. A literal gem. I played through the 1st part when I was much younger and that game still lives rent free in my mind to this day. Story is absolutely brilliant, you can't even imagine how many times it made me feel the feels, cry and celebrate with the characters. My fav part is that every unit that you have and can use in a fight is a person with their own personality traits and friends who they feel more comfortable to fight alongside with. Moreover, if you use a character enough, they reach rank "corporal" which unlocks their respective squad story that makes them grow and develop new character traits or change their previous flaws into something positive. So, every single unit goes through their own little adventure (if you use them often enough to promote to corporal). Absolutely amazing. It's ultimately a game about war but for me it's a game about friendship, love, sacrifices, bravery and what people mean to each other. It also has magic just so you know). Story length is about my playthrough time ~ 60h long but there are also reasons to replay fights and there's plenty of post game content as well. 2. Style. I loved the anime vintag-y style, I think it works perfectly for such game. It doesn't take away from the heavy topics but overall keeps the experience light-hearted, wonderful stylistic choice inmho. Every single character looks great, some models are absolutely amazing. It's just a joy to play as them and to look at the cutscenes and story fragments. Complete edition also has an obligatory anime beach episode if you wanted to know XD 3. Combat. SO MUCH FUN! It's a turn based game. Each unit can move and attack during their action and you have limited amount of actions during your turn. The less actions it takes you to beat the level, the higher the grade and rewards that you get. IF you wanna see more, I showcase stuff a little in my vid, so you can get a better idea. It's a strategy game but it doesn't require you to be a strategic mastermind to have fun and be able to beat the game. It's perfectly balanced, hard enough to be challenging to get a rank A and easy enough to make it possible to enjoy the story without try harding the fights (most of them at least). 4. Pacing. The game managed to keep introducing something new throughout my 60h of playtime to keep fights interesting. It never got boring. Cons: 1. Main villains of the story are poorly written. (2 of them have the weirdest motivations ever, the rest are great). I get that "they're just crazy" is a good explanation but is a very weak motivation for a good story. Made the ending very anticlimactic imho. I feel like the game should have ended 1-2 fights sooner than it did. But it's just my personal opinion. 2. 2 boss fights (not the same one that I talked about in the previous point) felt very puzzl-y. This game is supposed to be a strategy yet 2 particular boss fights that are happening back to back and were meant to be fun and fresh and unique are actually just puzzles that you have to solve by doing a specific thing in a specific order in a specific amount of turns or you gonna start losing units and will lose. These fights were so annoying, they deserve a place in a "cons" list. On a positive note, you can always look up a playthrough of the fights on YouTube and repeat those specific step to get rank A without any issue. 3. If you dislike standart anime overreacting overacting overgasping etc, then there's plenty of that in this game. I don't mind it that much but sometimes it just made my eyes roll. Still, I don't think it's such a big deal. I'm not an anime fan and it didn't take away from the story a bit. It's still SUCH A BRILLIANT STORY!!! imho of course Overall we got 8.5 Crymarias out of 10 (to be fair) but it's a 10 out of 10 in my heart! Thank you for reading my review <3 Hope you have a nice day and fun gaming!
