Valkyria Chronicles is a game I missed out on the PS3 . Years later I got the Steam version finally made time this year to beat the the game. As you get invested in the story both Weikin and Alicia get caught up in war surviving the hard times in the struggle. You met your fellow comrades in arms as you battle fighting for your homeland to live in peace. I must say these comrades are to ride and die for to the very end that is how much I love this crew of characters . For a tactical role-playing game it's really fun so enjoyable as you enter into combat on the battlefield. You be wanting to also train to prepare for combat as well to get powerful weapons and upgrade your tank as well. Valkyria Chronicles to end this review off I will say "these cast of characters I truly will never forget these characters as they stand out fighting for the greater cause for their country homeland and their freedom". Valkyria Chronicles is a game deserves so much eyes and attention truly worthy of greatness .

Anime Poses Meet Trench Warfare Valkyria Chronicles is the kind of game that lures you in with this whole “serious war story” vibe—trenches, tanks, dieselpunk grit—and then sucker‑punches you with three consecutive cutscenes where everyone’s striking anime poses like they’re auditioning for Dragon Ball: The Musical. I mean, what are we doing here? Am I supposed to feel the weight of war or clap politely while some dude salutes the camera like he’s in a boy band? It’s like watching Band of Brothers suddenly cut to a Sailor Moon transformation sequence. But that's anime in a nutshell, so you get used to it pretty fast. Now, credit where it’s due: the gameplay loop is tighter than a miser’s wallet. Train your troops, throw cash at R&D, bada‑bing, bada‑boom—you’re stronger. It’s simple, it’s clean, it’s addictive. But then the game whispers, “Hey champ, wanna replay this skirmish for the 47th time to chase that Rank A?” And like an idiot, you do it. Over and over. Until you’re sitting there at 3 a.m., grinding exp, wondering if this is fun or if you’ve just developed Stockholm syndrome for anime generals. It’s rewarding, sure, but it’s also the kind of grind that gets old real fast. And thank god I had an old save file from back when buying a Steam game meant choosing between digital dieselpunk warfare or, you know, eating actual food in my socialist‑economy reality—so yeah, I played it pirated first, because survival > anime cutscenes. Otherwise, my gameplay would show around 80 hours—70 of those just grinding A ranks on everything. F‑you. And yet—dammit—it’s good. It’s dieselpunk, which I didn’t even know was a genre until this game slapped me across the face with it, and it nails that vibe like a drunk carpenter. It’s half visual novel, half tactical puzzle shooter jrpg thing, and somehow the Frankenstein monster works. You’ll roll your eyes, you’ll curse at the cutscenes, you’ll laugh at the absurdity, and then you’ll keep playing because deep down you know this ridiculous, contradictory mess is worth your time.

I didn’t expect much from Valkyria Chronicles, but everything changed after I played it! This RTS JRPG has held the top spot on my list since I enjoy every turn-based game, but Valkyria Chronicles has a special place in my heart. The story, character, level design, weapon choices, and art style was unbelievable amazing and i didn't know this game had an anime that was release in 2009 with 26 episode total which you can play and finish the whole anime in this game. Being honest i always skip cutscene and naration in game but for Valkyria Chronicles i didn't skip a singel cutscene & naration and i enjoyed the story. If you enjoy Turn-based game like X-com, Fire emblem, Persona series i recomend this game! Pros : [*]Unique art style [*]Enjoyable storyline + Report eps, whic theres some missing part on the main story but you can see it from the Report episode. [*]Plenty of weapon choices and upgrades as you progress through the story. [*]Challenging gameplay for each chapter to another, and you need to use diff strategy for each chapter but after you finish newgame+ you can finish each chapter in singel turn with the walking tower (Alicia). [*]Orders, this is my fav feature in the game since it provide you a lot of buff that you can stack up for your troops and really helpfull through hard chapter. [*]Saving game feature in the midle of battle. This feature help me a lot saving times in game battle since you will miss some attack or failed to trigger passive skill and you can load the save game without restarting the game from the begining. Cons : [*]"RNG" why? because this game will provide you with passive skill char that can be triggered randomly except you unlock specific orders to trigger it. Another thing is when you aim the weapon on the head or your lancer aim to the enemy tank you still can miss it so.. good luck. [*]Slow paced enemy turn and you can't skip it but don't worry since enemy sometimes will skip their turn after few move. [*]Wobly and weird tank control. Sometimes Edelweiss & Shamrock will woble and move weirdly and if you unlucky sometimes you will stuck. [*]Unscaled newgame+. on the newgame+ enemy level are not scaled with our late game troops and everything feels so easy since the game want us to collecting gear from enemy ace that we missed but atleast in newgame+ you unlock hard mode and expert in skirmish for a lil bit of challenge. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3591356775 Overall, in my personal opinion, Valkyria Chronicles is a masterpiece and an unforgettable JRPG. I will miss Isara Gunther, Selvaria Bles, Faldio Landzaat & Frederic klein 🕊️.

One of my favorite games from the PS3 era, completely intact in all its glory. If you enjoy turn-based strategy games, this one is a treat. On Steam Deck: runs perfectly. On the first time launch, select the framerate to match the refresh rate so you get more than 30fps. This game is very lightweight and didn't even hear the fan kick in once during gameplay, battery life for this title is great. Also I had exactly one crash after recruiting and upgrading and had to do it all over again, it's best to save often just in case.

Great game. I don't really understand the negative reviews complaining about the lack of strategy/the need to complete levels quickly. The game does not require you to get an A rank on every level. Getting an A rank in every level might mean that you choose to do a couple fewer skirmishes, but, then again, it might not. Getting an A rank just isn't necessary at all. You're not punished for being slow and methodical. You can play the game in whatever way that makes it the most fun for you.
