It's great because aside from the setting, the connections to the other games are fairly tenuous. It's billed as being a previously "unknown story" of the war, so it fits firmly within the previous games while still being able to tell a new story. This is much like the previous games in the franchise and actually takes place during the same time period as the first game (just following a different part of the war and new characters). The basics of Valkyria Chronicles 4 is pretty simple, you're engaged in an alternate history version of World War II. This is both good and bad, however, as it also feels like a game trapped by its predecessor. Then there’s Valkyria Revolution, a recently failed attempt to take the franchise on a generic action-RPG route.Īs such, VC4 feels like exactly the sequel fans have been waiting for. Yes, there was a Valkyria Chronicles 2 and 3, but they only launched on the PSP (and 3 never arrived in the West) and changed enough to feel distinctly different.
The first game launched ten years ago and fans have been waiting a long time to see another game just like it. Valkyria Chronicles is back to form with the fourth entry in the franchise. While it takes a bit of time to get going, it's an engaging sequel that will keep you playing mission after mission. Valkyria Chronicles 4 arrives to not only bring the franchise back to the West, but to its roots as well.
