Valkyria Chronicles was certainly a pretty big hit with fans when it debuted on the PS3. Sales might have been a little lukewarm, but it seems like appreciation for the RPG picked up more as the price dropped, and people really came to realize that the...

Despite being on a less powerful system, Valkyrie Chronicles 2 kept much of what was so good about the first game and expanded on it. While it’s not as pretty as its predecessor, it still looks very good for a PSP game, and the battle system made the...

It seems that August was the month for terrific gameplay and lousy stories. On the heels of Metroid: Other M and Ys Seven we have Valkyria Chronicies 2, which matches the interminable cut-scenes and dialogue found in those games with puerile high schoo...

Valkyria Chronicles II squeezes the smart, turn-based strategy and deep, RPG-like customisation of its PlayStation 3 predecessor onto the PSP with great success. But for a few tweaks, the core experience is unaltered, and the familiar, hand-drawn art s...
Satisfying turnbased strategy, Deep, RPGstyle progression and customisation, Good valuewith new multiplayer modes and a 40hour campaign, Attractive anime art style.
The small maps are often recycled.

Grids, menus and stats; not the most exhilarating things in the world are they? Still, throw them all together with a suitable anime aesthetic and appropriate rags-to-riches narrative, and the resulting blend can be thoroughly engrossing. The trouble i...

OK, so I don't know why they decided to take an awesome PlayStation 3 game and stick it on the PSP, but -- apart from somewhat de-resolution-ified graphics -- Valkyria Chronicles II brings back all the fantastic elements of the first game, and adds a h...
Fuses elements of many genres; multiplayer adds a new twist; just as good on PSP as PS3.
Crappy voice-acting; unimpressive graphics.

A lot of people screwed up in 2008 and missed Valkyria Chronicles. A delightful little strategy role-playing game, Valkyria Chronicles merged third-person shooters, anime cutscenes, and hardcore strategy gameplay into one watercolor PlayStation 3 packa...
Valkyria Chronicles II is awesome. It’s fun, it’s pretty, it’s rewarding, and it’s beyond deep. The story is a bit "by the numbers" and I could go for a few refinements on the battlefield, but I can’t complain. Valkyria Chronicles II has so much going...

Sega released Valkyria Chronicles back in November 2008 on the PS3, and, as great of a game as it was, unfortunately it didn't sell very well. It's unfortunate since VC would make a fine addition to any RPG fan's collection. An anime was al...
