Best SRPG in Years!
(
PS3
)
It is a rare thing to find a strategy role-playing game (SRPG) done right in this age of first-person shooters, third-person shooters, and soon massively multiplayer online shooters. But here we have a game that combines two elements many players cherish--turn-based military strategy and story-driven role playing--into one gorgeous work ...

My Reason to buy a PS3

One of the better games I've played as of late. A take on WWII in another dimension. Learning to play the game was simple enough. With the use of symbols that distinguishes specific units, it proves easy to identify which units are what. Couple the gameplay with a unique graphics ...

After the strong RPG collection the Playstation 2 built up over its years, you would have thought that the Playstation 3 would be following in its predecessors footsteps. At this moment in time, this is not the case. The system has a lacklustre amount of RPGs in its catalogue of ...

I will admit that when first saw Valkyria Chronicles, I was not the least bit impressed. Despite all the positive attention the game was getting, I found myself unwilling to put the disc in my PlayStation 3. Even after venturing to my local game retailer and plunking down the 60+ ...

Fantastic Strategy/RPG
(
PS3

Valkyria Chronicles is one of those under advertised games that very few people will play, but will likely really enjoy. There just isn’t really anything out there like it, and its level of polish is truly top notch. Valkyria is a turn based strategy/RPG that allows you to take control ...

Valkyria Chronicles Review
(
PS3
)
Valkyria Chronicles is a game that is hard to put into just one genre. There are strategy elements to the game, there's RPG elements, there's turned based and real time elements, there's just so much complexity to this game. You will be fighting in the Militia for the Country of ...

Valkyria Chronicles is an interesting fusion of genres that a great time for RPG fans; when quality RPGs are few and far between on any of the current consoles. Chronicles tells a deep engaging story set amidst a WWII-type clash of superpowers as well as challenging you with a varied ...

Strokes of Brilliance, with but a Few Spots on the Canvas
(
PS3
)
Simply put, Valkyria Chronicles is a great game, and a refreshing example of innovation in a largely static genre, namely the strategy RPG. However, its solid mechanics and excellent presentation are marred slightly by minor oversights and snags that serve to keep the tactical experience from being as smooth as ...

An excellent niche.

I am not a big fan of strategy RPGs, mostly because I am not very good at them. There is an element of patience and willingness to grind for levels that I simply do not have. As soon as the story stops advancing, I get bored. This is true for ...

Valkyria Chronicles, a rare glimpse of the old Sega.
(
PS3
)
It may surprise you to know that Sega, currently the purveyors of avoidable Sonic games and movie tie-ins, used to make some of the best JRPGs out there. The Phantasy Star series and Shining Force series stood comfortably among the Final Fantasies, Fire Emblems, and Dragon Quests of their times. ...
