This is a surprisingly tight game, with a great art style. What's great is that it really is a demanding strategy game with a really well thought out mix of action and pre-battle preparation. Most of the mid to late missions are challenging enough that players will need to try a couple of times before victory, so just because of that there is a lot of replayability here. There is an impressive level of customization for individual characters, armoured units and skills. As the game goes along, more features and options are revealed, so that the game asks you to make decisions on a level not expected in the earlier stages. It's very satisfying. Mastering this game will take weeks. My only criticisms are that the cutscenes are quite long. Of course, you can skip them. Once you are in the missions, the pacing is perfect, and I really have no fault with the story. In that department it's a step above most games.
Overall, it's innovative, well designed, artistically quite nice and crucially, it's fun. Fans of strategy, war games and/or anime should give it a look.

Valkyria Chronicles, is an amazing and fresh take on the Tactical Strategy game in part pioneered by the likes of Final Fantasy Tactics and Disgaea. Doing away with the grid, the game add an additional element of tension to the battles, and smoothly recreates some of the appeal of real time in a turn based strategy. With a detailed storyline and exceptional battles, you'll find yourself gripped by both the story and the action. Truly this is a next generation Tactical Strategy, and I hope that other developers are taking notes, if you enjoy strategy games, do yourself a favor and pick this one up. Even if you don't, or have never played one before, I feel Valkyria Chronicles merits your attention, either as a first experience, or a second chance on the genre.
It would be a tremendous loss if this game failed to gain the attention it so deserves.

This game is extremely amazing. It mixes the turn based strategy, RPG elements and 3rd person shooter gameplay all in one. And does it perfectly. It's gotten critical success in reviews, but sadly isn't doing as well as it deserves in the commercial department.
Sega outdid themselves with this title. The visuals are beautiful, the gameplay is fluid and fun, the story is amazing.
I recommend this to any RPG fan, any strategy fan and even 3rd person shooter fans. It's something different and unique. Which is wonderful in a industry full of the same old formulas in games.

Amazingly fun!
When this game first came out in 2008 I was like most people in North America and passed it up. It didn't get nearly the hype that it deserved. Read more

Fantastic Game
A real classic. Must buy if you own a PS3 and like RPGs. Very closely follows the story of the anime that was based on this game.

A good game, with some annoying Cutscenes
I chose four stars because I thought the strategy elements in the game were great but the story/voice acting wasn't as great as I thought it would be which is typical of jrpgs. Read more

I almost passed on this one, glad I didn't!
I do most of my gaming on the 360 since that's what most of my friends play on, and I only get PS3 exclusives once in a while. Read more

d'awesome
this game is surprisingly unique, in that although it's a tactical RPG, when you control a character it's more like a 3rd-person WWII game. Read more
