Valkyria Chronicles Remastered Review – JRPG Classic Gets a Minor Facelift

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

War Like None Other

Back in 2008, Sony was at a low point in the console war. The PlayStation 3 was more expensive, less popular, and more difficult to develop for than the Xbox 360, and it had few notable exclusives to its name. It was into this climate of despair that Valkyria Chronicles entered as a surprise hit.

A perfect port of one of the PS3's best games

Not much to entice people who already own the PS3 or PC versions
