Valkyria Chronicles

A long-awaited port of the PS3 classic. The game has aged incredibly well, thanks to its beautiful cell-shaded graphic style and well thought mechanics. It takes some time to get used to cheerful anime cast of characters in what is essentially tale of World War 2 horrors, but once one is over that hurdle Valkyria Chronicles is a thoroughly enjoyable light strategy game.

Valkyria Chronicles is a timeless classic, and this exceptional PC port only manages to improve upon it.

If you’re a fan of RPGs, you should really check the game out; the story is engaging and the characters are fun, but it’s the charming picture-book aesthetic and unique combat system that really make the difference.

Valkyria Chronicles is one of the most unique and fun strategy games I’ve ever played, despite a few flaws with the port.

Valkyria Chronicles is gorgeous, engrossing, and not for the impatient. In other words, it's a great fit for PC gamers, who'll hopefully give the underappreciated Valkyria a wider audience than it found on PS3.

We waited for the PC version so long, but it was worth the wait. It’s a game that just doesn’t get old. It still looks great, sounds great and above all plays great. [01/2015, p.64]

If you want complex, tactical combat, and a fascinating story told in a unique style, you’ll get a lot from Valkyria Chronicles.

Valkyria Chronicles it's not a game for everybody but is an innovative, engrossing and admirable proposal that fuses genres with obvious skill.

This PS3-classic didn’t lose any of its magic. The visuals are beautiful, the turn based tactics challenging as always.

The strong story and gameplay remains intact, despite some small hiccups.

Great PC port for Steam. With its beautiful visual style, interesting characters and compelling story, Valkyria Chronicles tries to go beyond the usual Japanese SRPG mechanics, embracing a new system that combines direct and turn based action to great effect. The result is a game with true tactical sense, where different tactics can be successfully used according your play style.

Quotation forthcoming.

Valkyria Chronicles is a good strategy/RPG that blends different gameplay elements together with an enjoyable outcome. Its story wraps up themes about war, friendship and racism, while its comic-style graphics age well, and its music is memorable. SEGA also delivers a decent port with all previously DLC included.

Some control issues aside, Valkyria Chronicles offers just as much fun on PC as it did six years ago on PS3.

Although not Game of the Year, Valkyria Chronicles is worth 30 hours of your time.

Valkyria Chronicles game is a tactical and story-oriented RPG in Japanese style, which features a unique combat system, beautiful visuals and also some annoying problems with controls. But you definitely won’t be wrong if you give the game a chance.

A good port of a cult classic, although we expected Sega to add some new content or extras for the fans.

As bizarre a mix of genres, art style, and subject matter as you could ever hope to see, especially on the PC. But it all works and absolutely deserves this second shake of the die.

On one hand, I didn’t necessarily enjoy the gameplay. On the other hand, the story was enjoyable and this really is an excellent PC port both visually and how smoothly it runs.

More a puzzle game than a strategy game, the PC version of Valkyria Chronicles is a good port of an old PlayStation 3 game.
