Experience a Tactical Masterpiece in Valkyria Chronicles Remaster

Relive the glory of a cult classic with Valkyria Chronicles Remaster. Originally celebrated as a standout title for the PlayStation 3, this high-definition revival brings SEGA’s unique blend of strategy and action to modern hardware. Featuring stunning HD visuals running at 60 FPS, the remaster breathes new life into the visually distinctive, watercolor-inspired art style that made the original an instant classic.

Whether you are a veteran of the Gallian Militia or a newcomer to the continent of Europa, this remaster offers a seamless way to engage with one of the most original tactical experiences in the genre. With all previously released DLC pre-loaded and brand new trophies to earn, there has never been a better time to take command of Squad 7.

A Gripping Tale of War and Resilience

Set in the year 1935 E.C., the story takes place on the continent of Europa, which is currently being torn apart by the Second Europan War. The conflict pits the industrial might of the East Europan Imperial Alliance—commonly known as The Empire—against the Atlantic Federation. At the heart of this struggle is Ragnite, a precious and vital resource that powers much of the continent's machinery.

The peaceful Principality of Gallia, though officially neutral, finds itself unable to remain untouched as the Empire sweeps across the continent like wildfire, targeting Gallia’s rich Ragnite deposits. Players step into the shoes of Lieutenant Welkin Gunther, the son of a legendary war hero. Following an unexpected Imperial invasion of his hometown, Bruhl, Welkin is thrust into leadership of the vaunted Squad 7. Alongside characters like the spirited Alicia and a diverse group of militia members, you must navigate the hardships of war, face themes of prejudice and loss, and defend your homeland against seemingly insurmountable forces.

Innovative Tactical Gameplay

Valkyria Chronicles Remaster distinguishes itself from traditional turn-based strategy games through its unique "BLiTZ" system. This gameplay mechanic seamlessly blends classic tactics with real-time action:

  • Strategic Command: Use a top-down map to select your units and plan your movements across the battlefield.
  • Third-Person Perspective: Once a unit is selected, the camera zooms in to a third-person view, allowing you to manually control movement and targeting.
  • Cover and Maneuver: Utilize the environment—such as sandbags and debris—to protect your soldiers from enemy fire.
  • Resource Management: Carefully manage your Command Points (CP). Every movement and action consumes CP, making conservation essential to turning the tide of battle.

Key Features

  • High-Definition Visuals: Enjoy the iconic, painterly art style in crisp HD at 60 FPS.
  • Complete Content: Includes all previously released DLC pre-loaded for a complete experience.
  • Deep Narrative: A mature, character-driven story focused on the human cost of warfare and the bonds formed within Squad 7.
  • Multi-Platform Availability: Play on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch.

This title is a must-play for fans of tactical RPGs, players who enjoy deep, character-centric narratives, and anyone looking for a strategy game that breaks the mold of traditional genre tropes.
