![]() ![]() Note that Voidu and many others typically have game keys for the EU Region, so look carefully but Valkyria Chronicles 4 specifically notes "US" so I had no concern buying - it activated on Steam immediately and properly noted pre-order benefits. However, Voidu at time of writing has a special promotion whereas the game shows a 10% discount, but there is a stacking voucher code "PLAYHARDER" that adds 20%, making the game's final price around $42 and the cheapest I've found. ![]() Fanatical has at the moment one of the cheapest prices on the game pre launch, a 20% discount at $47 instead of its standard $60 (all prices in USD). For those waiting, it will ostensibly be available after the fact, but just for the standard price.īesides Steam, you can also find the game on Humble Bundle / Store, but notably not GreenManGaming - they don't have a deal with SEGA as a publisher as of yet. PreOrdering grants you a DLC Campaign worth about $5, so that's a nice bonus for those who know they'll be purchasing. From the niche to the more mainstream it seems that these efforts are bearing fruit and picking up momentum! Some of us have been working on bringing more Japanese developers and publishers to see the value of "proper", high quality (uncensored, original audio included, technically PC viable etc) releases of their titles. The more recent "Valkyria Revolution" released in 2017 on PS4 (including in the West) would likely be a relatively swift port to make it ready for PC! Valkyria Chronicles 2 was released in the west on PSP (sadly English only) and Valkyria Chronicles 3 Extra Edition was also on PSP but released Japan only! I think they'd both benefit from a "HD Remake" of VC2 and VC3 Extra Edition being brought to PC with updated controls, graphics, features, and other polish - not unlike how Assassin's Creed Liberation HD took a mobile title and brought it to PC upgraded. The setting and gameplay are both solid and if they're keeping the same character artist (which it looks like they may) that looks even better.įor ages I'd been hoping that SEGA would use the success of the original Valkyria Chronicles to bring its sequels to PC and hearing of VC4 is great news, but I wonder if they will now be willing to bring the other 3 games in the series to PC. Each has their own particular strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes, and how they relate to other players in the unit - its a little like Fire Emblem in some ways, but isn't dependent on sticking characters next to each other for them to "level up their connection" or anything. For those who enjoy (or at least don't absolutely hate) anime, the story is solid and unique with the characters well drawn and developed - every character in your squad is their own person with likes and dislikes there are principle characters and officers, but no "throw away"s. The game itself is a must play for any who enjoy "tactical JRPGs" and has a unique take on even that dynamic thanks to its "active combat" system which is pretty much unlike any other game series out there of which I am aware. ![]() Valkyria Chronicles is an absolutely fantastic title and it did very well on PC, even so many years after its PS3 release it got a whole new life! SEGA did just about everything right with its release - quality PC features (minus one engine issue in how the original game was developed if you tried to go OVER 60 FPS), all the DLC released to date, a very reasonable price ($20 or $30) in light of its late arrival compared to the PS3 version, and original Japanese audio! YES YES YES! FINALLY SEGA IS GETTING IT! If they do this right like they did with the original Valkyria Chronicles on PC, this is not just a day one but a pre-order for me! ![]()
