Valkyria Chronicles™

So. Many. Cutscenes... The incredibly long and boring exposition, for a world I was not invested in in the slightest, followed up by 2 long cutscenes, a small tutorial, and 3 more cutscenes, all with boring, unlikable, and incredibly dumb characters making way too many anime noises did not help. The game instantly crashed, when I went to my desktop to change my sound settings. The saves are completely manual, this means if you crash in the middle of playing, you lose all your progress if you don't constantly manually save after each cutscene/gameplay section (I lost my progress twice and had to complete the first tutorial twice and the second one three times because of this). Gameplay is alright, but has some little things I found annoying. My characters kept vaulting over cover, when I didn't want them to, and not vaulting, when I finally did want them to. Since vaulting is automatic, you just have to deal with it. Crouching is only available in dedicated areas. You can not improvise cover with a lot of things that seem like they could provide it, since you can't crouch behind them. After certain in-battle cutscene your characters get moved into very weird positions (the cutscene starts immediately after you kill the enemy without even letting you finish your turn...), that made me outright lose one time and the other few times were very inconvenient. Tutorials were popping up while I was being shot, eating my inputs, and making me get hit like 3 more times. Probably won't be an issue once you get out of the tutorial, but another very annoying thing to add to the many annoying things I got thrown at me when starting the game. I had a couple more issues I wont mention, as they were either unfair on the game or just my fault. They did however contribute to me, eventually, running out of patience with this game. I do realise I do not have a good view of the game, as I just played for one hour, but that one hour was frustrating enough for me to quit. If you can handle the cutscenes. This game might actually be a pretty decent game with some rough edges.

Kind of sad that Sega dropped the ball on this masterpiece, I played it on the PS3 first several years ago, and ever since then I go back every couple of years and play it all over again, such a great story, such great gaming style, Is pretty much WW2 with anime. I like the tactics aspect of it, I like the fact that all units of a specific team level up at the same time, I like the fact that they are not afraid of touching on discrimination aspects without sounding preachy or woke. I would totally recommend this game.

Great game, if a little unbalanced (in the player's favour) in the base game. Once you reach new game + and have access to the hard and expert skirmishes, you can really start to get some good depth out of the game play system as they are balanced around the game's most broken mechanic, that being order stacking. alternatively, if you are playing the game looking for a challenge, a no order or DLC content run would likely scratch that itch, as order's allow you to effectively bypass the actual tactics of the game. Overall, I rate this game an arbitrary 7.5/10.

Valkyria Chronicles is an okay game, with some really fun stages and memorable characters. If you're a fan of tactical games, it's definitely worth playing. The art style does a lot to carry the game, as it still feels timeless and enjoyable to this day. The game starts off a bit slow and boring in terms of missions, but the later stages become much more fun as they introduce elements that make you more aware of your surroundings and decisions. Unfortunately, at least for me, the story is mediocre at best, since some notorious anime tropes are present. While yes, IT IS an anime-style game, the over-exaggeration and ridiculousness of certain situations completely ruin some key moments in the story.

Control really sucked which is unfortunate

I love the painted look for the art and love the strategy combat. Makes it feel like a battle.

相当经典的 一部战旗 。剧情虽老套王道但没有雷点，男主木讷但果断，女主温柔但勇敢，各种人物个性刻画的都可圈可点，剧情有苦有甜，战旗玩法现在看虽略显老套但当时确实开创了一个先河，而且也只是对比后面几部作品系统略老旧，但整体核心是没变的，建模也很美型，特别是配上手绘书本的感觉非常棒。难度通关不高，但打评价就要点想法了，也挺有策略性的。非常推荐
