Pros and cons are down below) If you want to see a (spoiler free) video review, this game is the 3d (out of 3) that I discuss: https://youtu.be/zMQY_676fFM Pros: 1. One of the best games ever, on god. A literal gem. I played through the 1st part when I was much younger and that game still lives rent free in my mind to this day. Story is absolutely brilliant, you can't even imagine how many times it made me feel the feels, cry and celebrate with the characters. My fav part is that every unit that you have and can use in a fight is a person with their own personality traits and friends who they feel more comfortable to fight alongside with. Moreover, if you use a character enough, they reach rank "corporal" which unlocks their respective squad story that makes them grow and develop new character traits or change their previous flaws into something positive. So, every single unit goes through their own little adventure (if you use them often enough to promote to corporal). Absolutely amazing. It's ultimately a game about war but for me it's a game about friendship, love, sacrifices, bravery and what people mean to each other. It also has magic just so you know). Story length is about my playthrough time ~ 60h long but there are also reasons to replay fights and there's plenty of post game content as well. 2. Style. I loved the anime vintag-y style, I think it works perfectly for such game. It doesn't take away from the heavy topics but overall keeps the experience light-hearted, wonderful stylistic choice inmho. Every single character looks great, some models are absolutely amazing. It's just a joy to play as them and to look at the cutscenes and story fragments. Complete edition also has an obligatory anime beach episode if you wanted to know XD 3. Combat. SO MUCH FUN! It's a turn based game. Each unit can move and attack during their action and you have limited amount of actions during your turn. The less actions it takes you to beat the level, the higher the grade and rewards that you get. IF you wanna see more, I showcase stuff a little in my vid, so you can get a better idea. It's a strategy game but it doesn't require you to be a strategic mastermind to have fun and be able to beat the game. It's perfectly balanced, hard enough to be challenging to get a rank A and easy enough to make it possible to enjoy the story without try harding the fights (most of them at least). 4. Pacing. The game managed to keep introducing something new throughout my 60h of playtime to keep fights interesting. It never got boring. Cons: 1. Main villains of the story are poorly written. (2 of them have the weirdest motivations ever, the rest are great). I get that "they're just crazy" is a good explanation but is a very weak motivation for a good story. Made the ending very anticlimactic imho. I feel like the game should have ended 1-2 fights sooner than it did. But it's just my personal opinion. 2. 2 boss fights (not the same one that I talked about in the previous point) felt very puzzl-y. This game is supposed to be a strategy yet 2 particular boss fights that are happening back to back and were meant to be fun and fresh and unique are actually just puzzles that you have to solve by doing a specific thing in a specific order in a specific amount of turns or you gonna start losing units and will lose. These fights were so annoying, they deserve a place in a "cons" list. On a positive note, you can always look up a playthrough of the fights on YouTube and repeat those specific step to get rank A without any issue. 3. If you dislike standart anime overreacting overacting overgasping etc, then there's plenty of that in this game. I don't mind it that much but sometimes it just made my eyes roll. Still, I don't think it's such a big deal. I'm not an anime fan and it didn't take away from the story a bit. It's still SUCH A BRILLIANT STORY!!! imho of course Overall we got 8.5 Crymarias out of 10 (to be fair) but it's a 10 out of 10 in my heart! Thank you for reading my review <3 Hope you have a nice day and fun gaming!

i have been looking at the reviews for a little bit now some of them shock me. Like to me everything about this game is great. I love everything from the main cast and the side characters to the story and art direction. People are saying the story/characters are garbage, I would have to completely disagree. I would say you get pretty close to the characters and even the side characters. The story is amazing, your pretty much watching friends from when there were kids slowly growing up because of how war changes people. I do got to say though, since it is a anime style game it will have those anime cliche moments but it doesn't ruin the game what so ever as some reviews claim it does, they do it well and gets some laughs from the scenes when necessary. Overall i would have to give the game a solid like 8.5/10 maybe a 9/10. I hope my review makes you give the game a solid chance.

TLDR: if you played Valkyria Chronicles, this is largely the same, for better or for worse. For me, it's mostly a good thing. Really the only major difference gameplay-wise between VC and VC4 is that you now have artillery units, which are fun additions. It's a great turn based tactical combat game. There's definitely a learning curve due to the variety of units and mechanics but you really feel like a commander when you pull off some great moves. I love setting up a defensive position with my shocktroopers that just mow down charging enemies. I love getting my lancer behind an enemy tank and shoving a rocket up its ass. And now in VC4, I love drawing a group of enemies together and blasting them with my grenediers. The combat gameplay is truly the highlight of this game and it's really well done. If you are unfamiliar with the series, check it out on YT or pick up VC and try it out first, as VC4 is a little more complicated and builds on VC. That being said, if you only like constant action, this game is not for you as fighting is slow, deliberate and turn based. My major gripe with VC4 is the same that I had with VC: The story sections are agonizingly slow. In each chapter, you fight usually one battle and then are forced to sit through lots of long cutscenes. And really, only a small fraction are animated cutscenes you can watch. A majority of the story is just dialogue on screen read by the voice actors. The story itself is pretty good but in true anime fashion, two minutes of content is stretched out over 45 minutes as characters do their required anime gasps, monologues and ramble on and on about the most banal things. It's not just during the story sections either, but also in the required process of using the menues to upgrade your soldiers and equipment. You want to buy 5 improvements to your weapons? You're going to sit through Miles saying the same two lines of dialogue over and over with every button push. What should just take 30 seconds to click a few things takes 10-15 minutes when it's all said and done. I just wanted to get back to the action. It's enough that after I finish a battle, I would love to go on to the next but sometimes I just save my game and come back later because I'm not in the mood to sit through everything again. You can somewhat speed through by pressing continue and reading the text but there is just so much of it. I do like the characters and the setting, which seems to be a mostly real life based WW2 inspired world but with some (fantasy?) (steampunky?) elements. Even the world map matches real life Europe to a high degree. The art, music and just environment is charming and I am not even super into anime. But the world is beautiful both in the world building and art style. Overall, this is definitely a must play if you are into turn-based or tactical combat. Just be prepared to sink as much time into watching wayyyy too drawn out cutscenes and frustrating menues as you do fighting battles.

A great follow up to a highly underrated franchise that upgraded the artstyle, graphics and gameplay to an entire new level. A system of gameplay that have yet to be replicated anywhere else. This game is a gem.

Here's the situation... In order to get SEGA to make a 5th Valkyria Chronicles game, I'm going to personally John Wick my way into their office whilst carrying a basket of cinnamon rolls. I will then forcefully offer them cinnamon rolls (bribing) and they're not gonna be able to do anything about it. If they don't want to comply with my request about a 5th VC entry, then I will take my leave from the office by jumping out of a window, perfectly landing on a car's roof. Once I get back to my secret laboratory, I'm going to take down the address of that office and send multiple bags of marshmallows to their door until they surrender. They will then invite me back to their office and I will indeed return, dressed in a fine suit and holding a luxury briefcase made of crocodile skin. The briefcase will contain ten bucks as my investment into their next game (I'm broke, spent all my money on the suitcase). We will shake hands in agreement and their CEO will shout: "Squad SEGA, move out!" By the time the fifth game comes out, I will most likely be an exile somewhere in the northern forests of Norway. This game series is ruining my life and I love it.
