This is mostly about the PC side of things. The game seems to be beautifully optimized for PC. VC1 was praised as being a perfect PC port, but truth be told it had some issues that had real impact on gameplay (physics tied to FPS, slidey tanks, falling through the ground on ladders, etc). Personally, I suspect this was mostly due to people expecting a completely broken port, and it shocked people by getting the job done with pretty good performance. VC4, on the other hand, seems truly well done. In engine animation is silky smooth (delicious FPS), tanks handle as you would expect (no slidey tank), mouse + KB controls seem truly implemented (on VC1 they were obviously shoehorned in, and emulating controller behavior). There's even a mouse wheel sensitivity option. This is something usually absent in games, even those with dedicated PC pedigrees. There are certainly elements that betray
In A Nutshell 🔵 Pros + Excellent, fun gameplay formula, perfectly blending Third Person Shooter and Turn-Based RPG. + Plenty of items, weapons, characters, secret missions and other content to unlock. + Detailed team management mechanics, also considering relationships between squad members. + Great amount of content with a long campaign and many side missions. + Pleasant art style of environment, models and effects, inspired by comic books. + Deep and varied combat mechanics, ensuring excellent strategic depth. 🔴 Cons - Balance issues especially later in the game, both player and enemy side, depending on the mission. - Some issues with enemy AI, sometimes running into their death randomly, or missing easy kill chances. - The way "Squad Stories" are unlocked is badly explained and can become annoying. Valkyria Chronicles 4 (VC4) is the latest chapter of the series, and set seve
A refined and retuned Valkyria Chronicles experience that feels both fresh and right at home. VC4 returns to VC1's simpler gameplay, while adding some of the broken, underdeveloped and generally not-so-well-thought-out ideas from VC2 and VC3 as well as bringing some new stuff in the mix. Those of you coming from VC1 on Steam or even ye olde Playstation 3 will feel right at home, those of you coming from VC2 and VC3 will probably be confused at the lack of abusable mechanics or how much mobility you're actually given and those of you not sure where to even start with the series, look no further. VC4 is easily the most accessible and beginner friendly game in the series, while still offering a decent amount of challenge. Two of the major "new" additions (actually just old and refined mechanics) inclue the almost useless APCs from VC2 and Kurt Irving's Direct Command ability from VC3. Exc
Quick Recommendations: If you were a fan of the first game in the series, this is a nice companion piece. If you are new to the VC games and are looking for a jumping in point, VC4 is as of now AAA priced ($60) not including DLC, and while it may be an easier playthrough for casuals, I trust you'll have an overall better experience with the original Valkyria Chronicles available currently on the Steam store for ($20) with all previously released DLC included. Having made a review for VC1 claiming it to be in my top 10 games ever played, I was thrilled to see the series would return to a proper platform after having taken a handheld hiatus. Set in parallel with the first game's events, Valkyria Chronicles 4 tells the tale of the Second Europan War (EWII) from the perspective of the Atlantic Federation's 'Squad E'. After reading some of the other reviews, I'm prepared to give some rebutta
The Short of It: If you loved Valkyria Chronicles, the original, then you'll love this one too, it's more of the same, with only small elements added or changed. If you haven't played the original, then this game is for you if you like more casually-oriented strategy games and can stomach the occasional typical Japanese eye-rolling story and dialogue elements. The Long of It When a dictatorial nation called The Empire (of course it's called The Empire) goes to war with the Federation over the continent of Europa, the smaller nations in between get dragged into the war. Claude Wallace, the commander of Squad 7 and inhabitant of one of those nations, finds himself and his squad joining a final desperate attack by the Federation Army to capture the Empire's capital and hopefully put an end to the war. Valkyria Chronicles 4 uses the same system as the original game did: battles are fough
Valkyria Chronicles 4 is the first game since the original in the series to see a wide release on platforms besides the PSP or PS Vita. Well, except for Valkyria Revolution, which was a mediocre spinoff to say the least. This time around, we're following Squad E of the Federation. Squad E's leaders are all soldiers from the familiar Principality of Gallia, where most of the games have taken place. Let's state the obvious and get it out of the way: It's really hard to upstage the first Valkyria Chronicles, especially in regards to its characters and story. It was a game that, if you were like me, and one of the people who were enraptured by it, felt nearly perfect in a lot of regards. But I feel strongly that Valkyria Chronicles 4 comes very close to meeting the bar set by the first game. SEGA has created a truly wonderful successor to the first entry in the series with VC4.
