Valkyria Chronicles 4 (PS4)

I never heard or played the previous Valkyria Chronicles beforehand, the only reason I picked it up because it seemed like Xcom and I fancied a game like that.What I got was one of the best experiances this year. I share played this game with a friend and it was fantastic. The game relies on you being smart with not only your movements and your actions; but your team. You see; everyone you control in this game has their own perks and likes. One character can have a set of perks which benefit him to the situration but then flip when he realizes he is next to someone he hates. BUT you can change that; as everyone who isn't a main character has their own unique story which changes their perks from bad to good or better to AMAZING.The story is also amazing, as it has it's moments of seriousness to downright funny - making you forget this is anime WW2. The characters themselves are greatly written, myself enjoying not only the side squad members more than the actual main characters - and the supposed bad guys! Mainly one tho. You'll know whom, soulmate.The downside is the game can feel grindey and the DLC in my opinion is very lackluster in my opinion. But by god; it was an amazing experiance - I invested over 95 hours in this game, getting the Plainum trophy, and I wish there was more - I love the game and I hate that I now completed.If you're looking for a game which offers strategy, comedy, hard-hitting moments - why not?

Great game, just as easy to play as the PS3 version, nice story line, really immersive characters - would definitely recommend👍🏽

I really enjoyed the original Valkyria Chronicles and it always seemed strange that there was no proper sequel on the main Playstation console. This is, finally, that proper sequel.The gameplay is extremely similar to the original, but with a fairly large number of mostly well thought out tweaks and changes that make the missions and game more interesting and challenging. This includes sensible things like reducing the command point cost of using tanks (that were almost a waste of time in the original) to new units like Grenadiers that really present new tactical choices (albeit slightly at the expense of Lancers) and choosing leaders from among your squad. The side mission Squad Stories are a nice touch as well. It all adds up to more variety, depth and content than you got with the original.My one complaint is the story and how it unfolds. The story in the original was hardly amazing, but it moved along. A lot of the story in this game unfolds painfully slowly in multiple chapters that need to be individually clicked through with some really turgid (and at times crass) dialogue (both in content and delivery). At least a third of this should have ended up on the cutting room floor. It's not absolutely terrible, but it's hard to describe as good.But you don't play a game like this for its story. The bottom line is that it is a very good - and improved - turn based strategy game with the same really good art design and feel that the original had. Just about five years later than I would have liked!

Very similar to the previous version, but so far I liked the story and sub stories more. If you are a fan of turn based game this is a must have! Highly recommend it.

Good story line linking up to previous games, very enjoyable tactical game

If you're a fan of the previous games, this is a must-have. It's an expansion on gameplay found in the first game, with little in common with the PSP games. Game is beautiful with grat voice work and soundtrack.

Very Stupid Game

Product arrived didnt look tempered with still had the plastic wrap but is just an empty case.Edit: Replacement arrived in two days this one had a disc, Enjoying the game greatly.

Te engancha el modo de juego, la historia, y los personajes tienen mucho carisma. Totalmente recomendable para estrujarte el cerebro y pasarlo bien.

I liked the in depth story of the game's plot. There are also new gameplay mechanics that interested me.

Je suppose que la personne à qui j'en ai fait cadeau est satisfaite puisque c'était sa demande. Personnellement, je n'ai aucun intérêt pour ce genre de jeux.

Das grundsätzliche Gameplay ist solide und funtioniert gut, die Gefechte machen Spaß auch wenn es zu einigen unfähren Spitzen kommt. Aber System mit den Zwischensequenzen und Dialogen ist echt zäh. Auch in den Menüs beim ausrüsten und bei den Upgrades braucht man stehts zu viele Bestätigungen und MUSS sich leider immer die gleichen Dialoge anhören.Solider Strategie- Titel aber mehr leider nicht. Hätte mit etwas mehr Feinschliff wirklich groß werden können.

Excelente.
