Valkyria Chronicles, by virtue of its timing perhaps (released alongside some of the biggest titles of this generation) went somewhat under the radar. Its combination of tactical RPG gameplay, unique alternate WWI-like setting and striking visual prese...

Valkyria Chronicles II is in a bit of a tough spot – for fans of the original it was bittersweet when the sequel was announced only for PSP, and the rumored "high school dating sim" angle is definitely worrying to everyone who loved the original's batt...

The sequel to the worryingly addictive Valkyria Chronicles has seen a number of subtle changes to the format and one huge one: a transition from console to handheld. Oddly, we don’t mind swapping the comfort of the big-screen armchair strategist for th...
A superb conversion to a portable gaming format. This sequel makes up for the lack of big-screen impact with intense strategy and a co-op mode that adds many hours of replay to an already huge strategy game. 8.7/10Print this pageComments (0)Share this...

It's hard enough for sequels to live up to their predecessors, but Valkyria Chronicles 2 faces the extra responsibility of introducing the franchise to a new platform. The combination strategy/role-playing game attempts to repackage its unique blend o...

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.
A mix of smart strategy, deep customisation, and engaging story make this a worthy sequel to the PS3 original...

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...
