The Empire has set its sights on invading a small neutral country called Gallia, situated in the middle of the two superpowers territories, in an attempt to secure invaluable natural resources. Within this struggle a hero named Welkin, and his fellow soldiers of the Federation's 7th Platoon, are fighting back against the invasion and the Empires attempts to unify the continent under its power.\n\nDuring the ensuing war the Federation discovers that the Empire possesses a secret weapon, known as the \"Valkyria\" - an ancient race with special powers thought to exist only in legends. With this new discovery the fate of the Federation's ability to turn the tide of the war, and the hope for a better future, hang in the balance.\n\n“CANVAS” graphics engine: A unique engine that produces breath taking images that look like watercolour paintings in motion.\n\n“BLiTZ” tactical battle system: Experience strategic manoeuvring of units combined with conventional RPG gameplay, all layered on top of the moment to moment action afforded by real-time controls as players command each squad member and tank in battle.\n\nEpic storyline: Players will immerse themselves in the epic struggle for freedom, as the fate of the world lies in the hands of Welkin and the members of the 7th platoon.\n\nCustomisation: Over 100 customisable characters allow players to create a variety of platoons to suit each battle’s needs.\n\nBeautifully rendered battlefields: Players explore 30 different environments, using unique terrain features to gain advantages in battle.","183722\u002Fvalkyria_chronicles_cover_webp","183722\u002Fvalkyria_chronicles_header_jpg","https:\u002F\u002Fyoutu.be\u002FcpsALQWRSTM","2008-04-24",83.86,7477,"valkyria-chronicles",294860,[19,24],{"company":20,"developed":22,"published":23},{"name":21},"Sega",false,true,{"company":25,"developed":23,"published":22},{"name":26},"Sega WOW",[28,29,30,31],"Role-playing (RPG)","Strategy","Turn-based strategy (TBS)","Tactical",[33],"PlayStation 3",[35,51,67,81,96,111,126,141],{"id":36,"author":37,"outlet":40,"summary":46,"review_url":47,"review_date":48,"original_score":49,"normalized_score":50},84655,{"id":38,"name":39},3344,"Alex Donaldson",{"id":41,"logo":42,"name":43,"website_url":44,"score_format":45},44,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FRPGSite%20Logo.jpg","RPGSite","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.rpgsite.net\u002F","10","We return to the world of war and anime stereotypes, this time shifted to the PSP - but does the platform switch harm that awesome gameplay?","https:\u002F\u002Frpgsite.net\u002Freview\u002F2957-valkyria-chronicles-ii-review","2010-09-17","8",80,{"id":52,"author":53,"outlet":56,"summary":62,"review_url":63,"review_date":64,"original_score":65,"normalized_score":66},37547,{"id":54,"name":55},3689,"Brian Connor",{"id":57,"logo":58,"name":59,"website_url":60,"score_format":61},7,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fcog-connected-logo.png","COGConnected","https:\u002F\u002Fcogconnected.com","100","Valkryria Chronicles!!! Wait…..Valkyria Chronicles??? Really? In the scale of things likely to happen, a PC port of Valkyria Chronicles coming out in 2014 has to be directly under World of Warcraft becoming a first-person shooter. Don’t get me wrong, the original 2008 version for PS3 was beloved by many, but that was over 6 years ago, and Japanese developers and publishers have a storied history of ignoring or neglecting the PC platform. Apparently this release was the product of strong fan petitioning efforts, which seems even less likely. This really seems on the surface like a big win for everyone. The fans won over Sega with a strong push to make this happen, and Sega listened and delivered. But would Valkyria Chronicles be any good after all these years and on a different platform?","https:\u002F\u002Fcogconnected.com\u002Freview\u002Fvalkyria-chronicles-review\u002F","2014-12-17","78",78,{"id":68,"author":69,"outlet":72,"summary":77,"review_url":78,"review_date":79,"original_score":80,"normalized_score":50},52992,{"id":70,"name":71},4471,"Jamin Smith",{"id":73,"logo":74,"name":75,"website_url":76,"score_format":45},74,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FVideogamer-logo.jpg","Videogamer","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.videogamer.com\u002F","For those looking for a stylish, intellectually stimulating strategy game, Valkyria Chronicles II won't disappoint.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.videogamer.com\u002Freviews\u002Fvalkyria-chronicles-ii-review\u002F","2021-06-05","8.0\u002F10",{"id":82,"author":83,"outlet":86,"summary":91,"review_url":92,"review_date":93,"original_score":94,"normalized_score":95},146777,{"id":84,"name":85},12503,"Logan Smithson",{"id":87,"logo":88,"name":89,"website_url":90,"score_format":61},151,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fnoobfeed-logo.png","NoobFeed","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.noobfeed.com\u002F","Valkyria Chronicles is one of the most complete games you can find.
