About this product

Product Information

Sega's critically acclaimed strategy RPG gets updated for PS4 with HD graphics, trophy support, and all previously released add-on content in Valkyria Chronicles Remastered. Set in a political landscape designed to resemble 1930s Europe, the action finds gamers using a mix of tactical role-playing and real-time action sequences to successfully guide their small, peaceful nation though a massive conflict between two neighboring superpowers.<br><br>The conflict takes place between the Imperial Alliance, whose unification under an emperor and hatred of one particular race mirror Hitler's Germany, and the Atlantic Federation, a coalition of democratic governments that have joined forces to provide greater security. In the middle is the tiny principality of Gallia, a land very much like Switzerland in its policy of mandatory military service despite a stated position of neutrality in armed conflicts. However, gamers are <i>forced</i> to take up arms with Welkin Gunther and his platoon of soldiers when troops from both sides of the conflict invade Gallia looking for the coveted resource ragnite.<br><br>Valkyria Chronicles makes use of Sega of Japan's internally developed Canvas game engine, and the graphics are designed to resemble a watercolor painting in motion. Though movement and conflicts take place in a turn-based manner, the actual battles involve the sort of aiming and firing more commonly reserved for first-person shooters.<br><br>Players have six different military units at their disposal, each with different strategic strength and weaknesses. Scouts are lightly armed, but cover more territory; Shocktroopers carry powerful weapons, but are less effective at distance; Snipers offer terrific range, but have low defense and poor melee combat skills; Lancers are powerful enough to combat tanks, but are very slow; Engineers are vital for repairs and acquiring ammunition, but they have virtually no combat skills; and Tanks are extremely powerful, but slow and vulnerable to precision attacks.<br><br>Gamers will come across more than 50 characters, though only a handful are critical to the plot, and each person's skills can be upgraded though the acquisition of new weapons or the accumulation of battle-earned experience points.
