    Valkyria Chronicles is an interesting title that certainly takes some of the core ideas of the Japanese role-playing game genre and twists them in innovative ways, but the whole package has not managed to fully capture my attention.

    Good job, Sega.

    To those who haven't played Valkyria Chronicles because of gamepad aversion: Buy it. This game is definitely worth the money.

    One of my favorite game from the PS3 era.
    Props to SEGA for bringing this classic game to PC with great port.

    Pros:
    - Included all DLCs.
    - Japanese and English audio.
    - Full controller support (xinput).
    - High frame rate (up to 120 fps).
    - 4k support.

    Cons:
    - Graphic options is limited to v-sync, resolution, and frame limit, but there are various workaround.
    - Cinematic locked at 720p (at least it doesn't take 30gb++ space like a certain JRPG port).
    - Sound effect and voice problem during battles (fixed in day one patch).

    SquareEnix need to learn from SEGA on how to port games to PC.

    The combat is amazing, the squad managing and upgrading system is everything I ever asked in a such kind of game, and the soundtrack is great.The combat is amazing, the squad managing and upgrading system is everything I ever asked in a such kind of game, and the soundtrack is great. This is the best tactical RPG that I have ever played. Highly recommended.

    The only problem I found is that the volume of sound effects are sometimes inconsistent (gunfire for example, is very low) but nothing that can stop me giving this game a 10/10.
