Valkyria Chronicles combines strategy elements of tactical role-playing games with real-time action sequences. All of this is played out in an innovative and beautiful visual style.
Valkyria Chronicles is set in a fictitious continent reminiscent of 1930s Europe - divided in two and ruled by the Empire and the Federation. The Empire has set its sights on invading a small neutral country called Gallia, which is situated in the middle of the two great empires. The game follows a hero named Welkin and his fellow soldiers of the Federation's 7th Platoon as they engage in a series of epic battles.
Built upon the new "CANVAS" engine, developed internally by SEGA Game Studios Japan, Valkyria Chronicles' stunning 3D graphics resemble a watercolor painting in motion, taking full advantage of the processing capabilities of the PlayStation 3. The power of the PlayStation 3 also allows the development team to exploit the full potential of this new engine, giving players many different stunning environments to explore. A new type of tactical battle mechanic has been specifically designed for Valkyria Chronicles. Known as "BLiTZ," this gives players freedom to strategically move around the environment and attack enemies using real-time controls, something never before seen in the tactical role-playing game genre. The new "CANVAS" engine technology, the "BLiTZ" battle concept and an epic storyline offers players hours of exciting gameplay.

Games like this come along once in a blue moon. This is a unique game deserving of a place in anyone's collection. With strategy, management and rpg elements, this game offers a unique fictional story based in some way on WW2, with political intrigue tackling the subjects of racism and warfare in an excellent style. It offers its story through a 'history book' and is uniquely presented with cell-shaded graphics.
The game isn't all doom and gloom with its subject matter however, it is willing to present it's unique style of comedy through its optional missions; for example the power of carrots - a hillarious mission based on one of the character's love of vegetables which, the game smartly ties into giving that particular character a new skill for the rest of the war.
To sum up, this is a return of Sega's best. If you're into strategy games with rpg elements, an excellent storyline or you like unique games that stand out from the market, then this deserves your attention.
Absolutely Amazing

Just purchased it so not very far into the game but loving what I've experienced so far. The visuals and storyline are fantastic. Not many other anime RPG out on the PS3 so this fits the bill nicely. No doubt in recommending this. Buy it now
Believe the non-existant hype

This game is a masterpiece. I never got into Final Fantasy or RPG's, more a driver/shooter man. But this game is made to the highest standard. If you have second doubts about it, just buy it, you will not regret it. It doesn't get much better than this. period.
