    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.

    - Included all DLCs.
    - Japanese and English audio.

    - Sound effect and voice problem during battles (fixed in day one patch).
