    I can’t believe how much they ruined a game if you compared with the first One, no strategy at all, I have to look for YouTube videos to complete the game.

    - Horrible writing.
    - Harassing character personnalities.
    - Enemy reinforcements spawning with no warning and attacking the very same moment they appear for instant game over and hours of your life lost.

    I loved the first VCs but this game was not that good. The characters are terribly flat and while there are some attempts to flesh them out, you realize quickly that its the entire storyline which is just not well done. The strategy elements are subpar, especially in comparison to earlier games. Felt dumbed down, which is never appreciated.

    I want to give this game a high score, but there are several factors that force me to score it low. The RNG for attack accuracy is just brutal. One bad roll and the mission will be a failure. I missed 2 tank shots on a tanks weak spot in a row. Then my engineer gets one-shotted by an enemy Lancer from long range.

    The rankings system is based solely on the number of turns taken. In one mission you can get an A-Rank by running one unit through the enemy lines. Pretty much to do well you need to load the mission, take one turn and then start the missions again. Skill is barely a factor in this game.

    The story is awesome and the characters are very likeable. There is a load of content which is great. It is all let down though by my earlier points. This review is definitive and the only one worth listening to. Those who game this game a 10 are fanboys.    … Expand

    When alls said and done VC4 is a behemoth of a game with insane replay value, and a great cast of characters. Here’s hoping the next entry can wow us all over again.

    A funny action turn-based strategy taking place in an alternative World War I. Imaginative missions, weapon and character development and stylish graphics. [Issue#290]

    Even if you're not already a fan, Valkyria Chronicles 4's engaging story and interesting characters will win you over with a WW2-inspired setting that doesn't shy away from dark subject matter. For veterans of the series, this new chapter will give you a good run for your money, despite some unintuitive menus and wonky character mechanics.
