A must play PS3 action strategy title remastered for the PS4. Has a great story, more personality than you can shake a controller at, and is an all around great game. Unless you hate strategy.

But the real reason to buy is that all content that was previously DLC only, is now included in the disc.

As bizarre a mix of genres, art style, and subject matter as you could ever hope to see. But it all works together surprisingly well and this remaster is well deserved.

Some very clever spins on traditional turn-based combat; Nicely humanised units and a good diversity of class types; Cel-shaded artwork still looks great after all these years

Some inconsistent logic during battles, as well as some rather limited artificial intelligence; Tank controls are very twitchy; Pre-rendered cut scenes look bad

The theme is a grand and mighty one: freedom and the fight against oppression from bigger nations. Placed in an alternative version of Europe in 1953, Valkyria Chronicles Remastered lets you play as a small nation squashed between two empires waging war against each other.

It's clear at this point that the PlayStation 4 has become a far more successful console than its predecessor, which is probably why we are seeing so many remastered re-releases of PS3 games (the lack of proper backwards compatibility with the PS4 likely played a factor as well).

Fantastic game so under-rated a shame they made 2 and 3 on ps vita i can only hope one day they make them viable on PS4 as I would love to continue on the story. That is not to say the game doesn't end well it does

Brilliant game at a even better price

The Guinness Book Of World Record's "Best Strategy RPG for the PS3" has returned with an HD remake for the PS4. It's got the entirety of the original game, plus all of its DLC, and to this day it remains one of the most unique gaming experiences on the market.

Unique tactical JRPG/third person shooter gameplay; Gorgeous cell shaded/penciled anime style; Long game with lots of depth

Not much different from PS3 w/ DLC version; Story takes a while to get interesting

A faithful retelling of an excellent game. All RPG and SRPG fans will enjoy this.

Valkyria Chronicles Remastered is set in a fictitious continent reminiscent of 1930s Europe - divided in two and ruled by the Empire and the Federation. 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.
