There is nothing like Valkyria Chronicles . Trying to explain it just sounds like incoherent listing. It's a JRPG version of fantasy World War II played like a turn-based strategy game that is also a third person shooter. There is no game that plays like it and no setting like it.
Amazing world full of memorable characters; Classic and unique turn-based gameplay; Great story; fabulous localization; Cute dog named Ragnarok
Static cutscenes; Cumbersome menus
