    Valkyria Chronicles seemed like a perfect turn based strategy for me. I just couldn't get though the game though due to the art design and grinding.

    Pros: - Awesome concept for a strategy game by mixing top level down to individual units - The presentation and the way it taught you to play were good Cons: - Art design and story were not to my liking - Not a big fan of strategy    Valkyria Chronicles seemed like a perfect turn based strategy for me.

    Pros:

    - The presentation and the way it taught you to play were good

    Cons:
    - Art design and story were not to my liking
    - Not a big fan of strategy games that require grinding, I think every level should be designed so every player has the same effort to beat it    … Expand

    Still a great game, worth playing if you haven't played the series and enjoy the genre.

    Whether you’re fresh to the series or already experienced Valkyria Chronicles 4 on Switch earlier this year, it’s still worth checking out the original. What it might lack in visual polish it more than makes up for with a rich story, affable characters and satisfying and strategic gameplay. Here’s hoping we see the second and third game make the leap to Switch too.

    The spark that made the original Valkyria Chronicles shine bright on other platforms still shines bright on Switch, in a game that is beautiful, rewarding, and timeless in its take on turn-based strategy.
